Help with 1st Alternaleaf appointment & recommendations.

Hi,

I have my first appointment soon and was wondering how open & honest I should be with them? I currently smoke 40-50g a month and have for a while. Also I would like to try different day & night choices. Would there be any strains you suggest for pain and what %’s are they?

Hi, I have an appointment tomorrow to see if I can get MC which I am super anxious about so any advice for that would be great but the main reason I'm posting is I'm very new to this I have no idea what good cannabis looks like or any other information about strains etc I have tried a couple of joints pre rolled by a family friend and they worked super well I'm concerned that vaping it will not give the same effect ? Like I said I know nothing about this and am just looking for a bit of guidance I guess. Also looking for a vape haven't got a super tight budget but also don't want to be spending a whole lot for it to not have a good effect on me. Any advice would be really helpful thanks.

I’m going to go against the grain. Cali Sunset & Runtz OG

Lots of negative comments about these on here. They arrived today along with grape galena.

I really like them. Very sweet. Perfect effects for pain relief from arthritis. I tried the Cali sunset first. Lovely sweet flavour quickly followed by near instant body relaxation. Very calming.

Tried the GK Runtz OG. To be fair I don’t know what Runtz is supposed to be like so with no preconceptions I have to say I really enjoyed it. Flavour and smell were nice. Reminded me of what they used to call orange bud back in the early 90s (everything that wasn’t hash or brick weed was called orange bud 😂) - very good for joint pain and calmed my mind. I have adhd and my adhd meds wear off early evening and I get a sort of a bounce back of symptoms

So I’m going against the grain by saying I really like these. Great effects and I liked smell and flavour.

As for grape galena. I’ve been getting this one for a while. It’s 21thc but for some reason feels heavier than that. Such great value too.

Granted the Runtz OG was a little expensive at £10. But I would still get this again. The two Grow are great value. Particularly the Grape galena.

For reference I’ve tried other grow products that I hated such as La sage and French cookies and that strawberry one. No thanks to those. Poor effects and horrible smell

I used to get the GK Fiji sunset. Very good.

The Cali sunset was a pleasant surprise. After some comments on here yesterday I was expecting the worst. If you happen to have inflammatory arthritis, give this one a try.

MV MAC1 appreciation post

Got this on this month’s script - I’ve only tried High Silver, Moroccan Peaches and Sourdough prior to this, and whilst the Sourdough was nice - this is leagues above. Smallish nugs, but all beautiful and dripping with trichomes - smell, taste and high all very pleasant.

If you’re wondering whether to try it at the higher end of cost, then definitely pull the trigger.

Can anyone suggest any other MC strains out there that they think are comparable with the MAC?

This brand is getting very aggressive with its pricing with OG Deluxe, Tiger Cake and Kush Mints now all £5 a gram. Recently this brand was £9 a gram or more.

Tilray Gorilla Glue #4 and Pink Kush, Grow Platinum and 4C Labs have also had some reductions today.

First Prescription with Alternaleaf

I just checked the screenshot/file of the prescription that my dr has written up, after being accepted today. I noticed the Sundaze® Sierra Blaze T19 Blue Dream, isn't even in stock, why are they writing prescriptions for us new patients, if the product isn't in stock till Q4 2024. does this mean now that I won't even get any of my prescription (3 types) until that one is available or will they just issue it all and I can just purchase to two other lots?

I have no idea why they would want to offer/suggest a strain and write it up if it ain't even in stock

would love to get some opinions on this as I'd rather get my script sooner and have some of it, than none of it.

How much do you spend per year on your prescription?

Any details would be appreciated

  1. Prescriber (are they good)?
  2. Monthly consumption (grams)

I’m trying to work out if I can afford it via the medical route (<10 g per month estimated).

Rejected from Clinic

Hi all, today was the day I had my initial consultation with Alternaleaf. I was denied access despite meeting the criteria due to the fact i was prescribed risperidone and went through some unusual auditory experiences. I respect their rules and guidelines in place however there is no mention of me being diagnosed with Psychosis or schizophrenia and that was 2 years ago roughly.

Does anyone know if there is any way around this without having this info removed from my SCR? As it is not incorrect info.

Could i try a different clinic?

A letter from my psychiatrist or mental health team?

TIA

Hard Hitting dry herb vapes?

I'm currently working with an Airizer Solo 2 but it takes a while for me to feel the effects. I'm not sure if it's my poor use of the vape or what but I feel like I need something a bit more hard-hitting for my nighttime strains

First time travel with medication 🌿

Hello everyone, happy Wednesday!!

Next week I am going to Belgium on the Eurostar, and as the title says it will be my first time travelling with my medication and my vape.

I have a copy of my prescription, the original packaging, and I've just applied for my travel letter too. Can anyone please tell me if I'm missing anything? I've searched the subreddit and I'm seeing links to get in contact with the embassy but I don't really understand what to say and the website is confusing me 🥺

For context, I am autistic and really stressed about taking my MC with me, honestly at this point it feels so complicated and like I'd be better off just leaving it at home and hurting for the week. I am just looking for some reassurance I think, please be kind lol.

Thank you in advance for kind replies 🥹💖

Seed in high silver curaleaf

I just received last week my high silver order and found one seed today. I haven't checked the other buds yet but in terms of quality and feedback - would you share this with curaleaf?

Help me change strains please

This is for sleep and relaxation.

I've tried lavander cake and nothing happened. Literally nothing.

I transfered to gg lot 4 and even though it was relaxing it turned me into an insomniac, and eventually got me really depressed.

Anyone have any requests? I'm with curaleaf Thank you :)

How much fat with oil?

Hi! I’ve always been a flower user (BM & MC), switched to some carts for the discretion but they’re so expensive, so trying out oil.

So far it’s going well-ish, but I don’t know how much fat I need to consume for the oil to work?

I cannot stand eating in the mornings, so any suggestion for getting the right amount of fat and the oil in in one mouthful would be good 😅

(Note: ED so please be kind/ not outright hurtful 😭😂)

Eye twitch when I have too much THC?

More curious than anything- has anyone else had this?

Get it more with sativas, usually in one particular eye but sometimes the other. Only a few twitches, but i know it can be stress related. Interested to hear if anyone else gets this - i take it as a sign to lay off for a bit

Green Karat - Pave S1

Morning all, hope you’re having a good week so far. Here is a video review I’ve done of the latest batch of Green Karat Pave S1 if anyone is interested.

I never got to try the original non irradiated batch but for me this one reminds me a lot of the old Paris OG Paris packs that used to be around a few years ago. Nice sized bugs and a nice gassy smell to it. Only negative I found was it’s a bit harsh

Enjoy 🤟💚

New Cantourage Strains and Portal

The cantourage repeat process has been changed, it seems a bit smoother now.

I noticed they added some new strains too, the clearleaf strains have been on my radar for a bit!

Mighty Vs Mighty+

Hi everyone! Recently made a post about the best vaporisers to buy as a new MC patient. Loads of recommendations for the mighty brands but just wondering if anyone can highlight the differences between the mighty and mighty+. Seen a mighty on sale for £200 and the mighty+ for £329 so just wanted to know if it's worth the extra £130!
