Having a medical professional tell you that you should not be working due to a injury or sickness is a good start to satisfying the requirements needed for one to collect disability benefits.

If you are relying on a personal policy or group (work) policy to pay you, than you must satisfy the full requirements set forth by that coverage. Either on a total disability or residual disability basis.

If you are relying on Social Security benefits, the requirements are a bit more strict. The inability to work needs to be expected to last at least one year or be fatal.

Having a medical professional recommend that you don't work is a good reason to submit a claim.

Will your doctor know if you smoke marijuana?

It depends on what test(s) your doctor is ordering for you. In many cases, yes, the doctor will know. If you have blood work done, it will show up (as long as this is checked in the blood work). However, in my experience, it seems like many doctors do not really care if you smoke marijuana or not (unless it's a doctor from Social Security for disability or a state appointed doctor for medicaid disability, or if you are seeing this doctor and are attempting to collect worker's comp / short-term disability).
