Just remember if a doctor ever asks then lie and say only on friday, there's a few things in life you absolutely have to lie about because the system is not designed to care about people.
Here in the uk never admit to smoking weed to a medical professional, never admit to even so much as thinking about any form of self harm, delusions, emotional regulation issues... it can come back decades later and fuck you over.
This is generally pretty bad advice.
I mean I get where you're coming from, and I cannot speak to what it is like in the UK (I can only speak as a man in the US), but you should not lie to your doctor.
If you see a doctor, and they start treating you differently after finding out that you smoke weed, then you find another doctor.
Unless you're in Canada and there's a doctor shortage and you can't just shop around for a different family doctor if you don't like your current one. If you're lucky enough to even have a doctor here..
Wait what happens if you admit to smoking weed? I thought we had doctor patient confidentiality. I've had some mental issues in the past, though not to the point of self harm. What happens if I admit these? I also live in the UK and this is concerning.
