no medical provider can require an adult person to take a urine drug test. they can ask refuse to give them any more pain medications or legally terminate their professional relationship but they cannot really force anyone to pee. the repercussions for not complying to the doctor's request for a urine drug screen would be his refusal to prescribe further pain prescriptions. proper pain management is essential for a person who had brain surgery and other chronic pain issues (fibromyalgia) but it is the doctor's responsibility to make sure that highly-addictive pain medications are not be diverted to others or misused. the doctor has no legal responsibility to prescribe medical marijuana but may be able to refer your family member to a pain management specialist for on-going care. yes they can especially if you r on a pain med contract and you signed it and agreed to it!
