I think it depends on the doctor, and depends on the area. In illegal states, the doctors are going to be inclined to not rock the boat.
I'm in a legal state, and my doctor's completely cool with my cannabis use.
I tend to add some CBD to my THC on & off, so I can keep my dosages down to a dull roar.
I’m in CA. Can’t get much more legal than here. I’ve had multiple try to argue me out of using weed in favor of insert prescription drugs here. The prescription ones never worked or had too many side effects and they just don’t care to hear it.
It’s definitely doc dependent, but my experience is that the “mainstream” doctors your insurance covers are generally not onboard with it. The “doctors” that gave out prescriptions for medical cards were always some dude in a tshirt, that asked like 2 questions and gave a recommendation.
