I use MC for chronic migraines which I have had for years. The moment my gp found out she was NOT happy and I could sense / hear the disdain in her voice. She asked me why I didn't come to her first and tell her the 4th type of medication we have tried is not working instead of getting MC all while admitting she knows nothing about it.

Now because I have MC she will only send me to a specialist for an MRI etc. IF this medication doesn't help me. But the thing is, it does. However, its a bandaid and I still deserve to find the root cause of my problem because there has to be one.

Now I am literally seeking treatment / investigations for my migraines in Thailand as it's cheap to get testing done here.

Not to mention, when acquaintances (not friends, they're understanding) find out, their responses are mostly "oh it's just an excuse to use".

Anyway, I am forever grateful for this community <3 Also if anyone has an migraine specialist recommendations in Bangkok, PLEASE let me know!

Having very good effects with high silver with seasonal depression symptoms atm. Looking to order next week and wondering if anyone can recommend anything that gives a bit of an uplift energise or kick to it?

With alternaleaf.

I've been taking SOMAI 25:1 THC oil Indica to treat insomnia for around a week now and I've noticed that the sedative effect seems to vary. Does anyone know if I'm doing something wrong with dosing or if it's just something that'll even out with time?

I'm not sure if I'm just associating the light high from the dose recommendation (0.3-0.5ml) with it 'working' or if I'm just more energized and not noticing the sleepiness of it.

If I've missed a 'mega' post about this then apologies, feel free to tell me to learn to read and search but also please add the link to the post so I can read it.

I've been vaping more indoors recently due to the weather and I usually have Ginny the cat in close distance. It's only just come to my attention that the vapour I'm exhaling could be hurting her in some way and Google isn't really helping me. Vapers with pets - what are your thoughts?

Is this common?

Thinking to try and become a patient here I have bad anxiety and have quit weed 5 months ago nothing has improved and thinking to give this as it is legal now i have bad anxiety and weed helped I tried two different meds from gp but made me worse so stopped them I also have sboerric dermatitis which makes me hella irritated all the time but was manageable on weed but I have mid asthma will I be eligible to become a patient any help or advice is appreciated guys 👊🏼

I managed to get my 24% THC limit removed by going to an appointment and asking for the strain I wanted, as suggested by many people.

To do this, I requested my GG4 22% to be changed to Strawberry OG 25%. The doctor on the call was very nice and said she would do it.

However, I have just been onto my Curaleaf app, and now my GG4 is "inactive", and Strawberry OG isn't there.

Does it take time for stuff to show up after requesting a strain from a clinician?

This is great. Fantastic sweet lemon terps and a great uplifting effect. my heart palps settled down a bit and my brainfog has gone. pain is significantly dulled. It is a bit energizing at the start so I'm not sure if it would affect anxiety. I really feel good for the first time in a few days though. Recommend from me Clive

Just been medicating today with my new arrival. High silver. Decent piney citrus gassy smell, nice tacky, bouncy buds and I've been wrecked all afternoon. Haven't in general had haze type strains since back in the day but this has Amsterdam in 2004 vibes and for the price (£55 for 10g) I'm happy as Larry with it

Does anyone use an old-school water bong at home? I don't have the cash for a dry herb vaporizer yet, and I like a bong with ice to cool the smoke. Would love to hear if anyone does.

At the moment since I’m a new MC user I’m only just getting started on building up my supplies (ie I had lots of glass pipes and a grinder).

I bought an xmax v3 pro, a bubbler attachment (I have yet to use but will this weekend) and the extra dosing capsules.

With cleaning and drying and moving where I have things I’m losing things all the time.

Any tips?

I’m taking it for fibromyalgia and anxiety/panic so I’ve been started on a super baby dose as my heart and nervous system can be a bit sensitive. I’m on a 10mg - 10mg oil and I started at 00.5 now im taking 0.3 hoping to go up to 1 (10mg THC / CBD)

What’s your dosage? I know everyone is different and oil affects everyone differently so I’d love to hear your experiences.

Not a rant so much as an observation that I'm sure has been brought up many times but does anyone else find it incredibly frustrating how short lived stock is? I've been on MC only 5 months now and struggle to find strains consistently in stock. Had some great strains on previous scripts that are no longer available or they come back with a higher THC and shoot up in price. Montu emailed me today saying that Cement Shoes was now OOS and will be for a while and to choose another item but most of the cheaper strains are also OOS. Not sure if it's me being cynical but kind of feels like they don't stock the cheaper strains to force people into buying the top range stuff. Also considering it's MC how are people supposed to rely on strains that help their condition if they're constantly swapping out stock? Are any of the other pharmacies any better?

Hi!

Paid for my script as usual,, well before cutoff for next day, 7am today.

Got the usual shipped email around 4pm, but instead of the tracking prefix being it's usual SP, it's now beginning AS, and tracking is saying to try again tomorrow.

Have they downgraded the delivery to standard tracked etc? Has anyone else had this too?

Just trying to temper expectations if it's likely not gonna arrive tomorrow haha! :(

Could anyone give me some advice on a portable vape that isn’t going to cost £300?

It will only be for occasional use and not for big sessions at a time. There’s so many out there and so many different ones get recommended I’m just a bit lost with it.

I thought about the crafty or a pax 3 but with apple having removed the apps just seems like a pain in the ass having to use the web app to change temperatures.

Any advice would be appreciated 👍🏻

Ive just started with integro, but now alternaleaf is just £10 per month is it not worth me just moving to them?

Will they keep me on the same amount for my prescription and also do alternaleaf do grow access project aswell?

I love the unique effects from MAC! Strong at the start but overall a clear-headed and relaxing experience. Exceptional quality

Tried it once at £110 and felt it was great but not worth the price.

Got it again with the short batch and I think £85 is the right price. Loads of strains compete for effect at that price. Might try Mac Daddy next month.

Just came back from a 1 month t break and yet again within a week or 2 my tolerance has gone straight back up again with barely any use.

Looking to see everyone’s options on who is the best company/pharmacy for medical cannabis in the uk? Currently speaking with MaMedica.

Hey guys, I’ve had 3 tubs now all 0.3 underweight and I was wondering if it’s bad luck or are all tubs under? I’m thinking of contacting Montu but I doubt anything would be done. Cheers

Yes I know nothing will be done, but I thought it would be interesting if other users had noticed this.

I've noted some points here from the article if you can be bothered to read it.

1. Someone lodged FOI request on the Met on handling road stops and cannabis patients.
2. "We are already seeing drug dealers attempting to avoid prosecution by claiming that their cannabis is medicinal or by packaging it in counterfeit containers with fake labels. " - police have to judge if you are a patient or not, as standard practice. If you look or act like a dealer, I'm guessing you will be treated like one.
3. NOTE: this is the Metropolitan Police. Not all police forces across England (and not in Scotland or Wales ofc)
4. police can seize your medication if they judge the action is warranted. " proportionate, legal, accountable and necessary. Officers are trained to use the National Decision Model and the Code of Ethics when making policing decisions. This is not specific to prescription medication."
5. Traffic police can stop you without reason or suspicion and ask for your personal details as the driver of a vehicle. You are required to show ID. Thats "your rights".
6. "Presently the roadside drugs wipe test only looks for cannabis and cocaine – however, these two substances account for 83% of the drugs used by drivers.  Don’t forget many young drivers drive around after smoking cannabis and whilst they may not be impaired, they will often be over the prescribed limit." - recognition that THC stays in the body for up to a month.
7. The officer's discretionary powers are significant and covered here. For me, this means that different police officers may treat you differently and thats normal. The public won't see consistent policing applied to medical cannabis because of the variability of the situation and the people involved.

A bit about myself and I hope that you all can help me choose the best Company that suits my purpose please. I’m an almost Pensioner, married male who lives with his wife who works, I haven’t been able to do so because of my disabilities for approximately 26 years now, also Veteran sent away for my Veterans Card.

I’ve had 3 bad heart attacks and had numerous stents fitted. I have epilepsy which is uncontrolled and I have approximately 4 - 6 attacks a week. I have extremely severe migraines with 1 - 2 of them a fortnight which can last 2 - 3 days each. I have fibromyalgia which affects all of my body and causes me to use 2 crutches. I have what my Doctor calls heart failure & peripheral arterial disease. I have acute angina. Agoraphobia. Vertigo. Raynaud’s. COPD. Sleep problems caused by the constant pain I’m in 24/7

Currently taking about 41 tablets daily including 30mg Morphine, (Zomorph), 3 times daily and 20mg Sevredol 3 every 6 hours. So as you can see I’m taking a fair bit of morphine and I’m still having a shit load of pain!

My Doctor has told me that the next step is to take all of the morphine based medication off me for 2 - 3 months to make sure that it’s well out of my system and then for me to start on Tramadol at a low dosage and then work from there.

10 years ago I was eating Tramadol 100mg for fun and I had to come off them for a month before going on Morphine, I hit the BM really bad then because there was nothing else. It’s the one and only time that I’ve hit it hard but it worked for me, and killed 70 - 80% of my pain for the first and only time and the epilepsy was almost gone and migraines.

Right sorry for the long post but I wanted to give as much information as possible to try and get some help with choosing a Company it’s a big decision for me because I’m broke and on the cheeks of my arse and having to rob Peter to pay Paul on this one so I need to know that I’ve made the right decision first time or the missus will kick my arse good style.

OK I know you aren’t Doctor’s so I’m not after medical advice alright, I’ve got what I’ve got and tough luck for me.

So go on folks no pressure on you all eh!

Making a concerted effort to get a medical prescription this year and saw that autism is popping up as an eligible condition. Has this always been the case? What conventional treatments are considered for eligibility? I have ADHD and autism, and the only treatment I've tried is occupational therapy (good for work). I was advised not to take ADHD medication due to high blood pressure/heart issues in the family.

So, has anyone been prescribed for autism? Out of interest, what benefits do you find in THC for autism?
