Keep not telling them, by the way. All evidence I've found is that (US) life insurers can still refuse to cover you or rate you as less healthy if you admit to cannabis consumption even when it's state-level legal, and you have to sign papers that authorize doctors to disclose EVERYTHING to them to get a policy issued (at least you do once you're old enough that life insurance becomes more important).
During COVID, I was somewhat down and my GP prescribed a tiny dose of Lexapro, which did nothing but give me diarrhea so I quit immediately. But that "being treated for depression" or whatever, once disclosed, caused my next life insurance renewal to be far more expensive.
So that's why I "have never consumed any cannabis."
- extraduder_ire 1y agoLying on those things voids your policy entirely though.
- xp84 1y agoTrue, but I still sleep well at night knowing that I've lied to an insurance company about such a triviality, and keeping it out of doctors' files means I won't be caught.
