“Prescription ”
I was wondering since I'm going to stop going to my suboxone Dr if my primary Dr will continue to write my prescription for klopins even though I stopped smoking weed but it still in my system?

Well....first of all, congratulations for giving up the weed. For "earth people" without addiction issues, it's fine. But if you have a substance use disorder, it's not helping. That is especially true with all the medications you are taking.
Now, these days, regardless, people are less concerned with cannabis in treating opioid addiction with medication in the form of methadone or buprenorphine. I encourage people to re-think it periodically, but I don't stop prescribing for people who are positive for THC. In fact, I really don't even test for it much anymore, So I would be surprised if he balked at prescribing for that. If he does, ask him to give you a chance to see decreasing levels in your urine test. Good luck
