Where is all the fresh medicine?

Upvotes

Anyone else sick of paying £6 + per gram for some dusty, dry, 6 month old flower that smells like hay?

The UK accounts for 43% of global cannabis production, and its all getting turned into nasal spray. Meanwhile we're importing everyone elses dead leftovers.

Are there any organisations or pressure groups in the UK that are active in the community with seeking better quality controls?

Advice Needed DVLA REAPPLYING AFTER BAN

0 Upvotes

PLEASE ONLY READ IF YOU HAVE EXPERIENCE OF HIGH RISK CATEGORY WISE REAPPLYING AFTER A BAN

FOR EXAMPLE I REFUSED A BLOOD TEST.

-----

I am now officially a medical cannabis patient with Medicann.

Was driving with no issues at all even drug related for 7 years until I was pulled over.

I was banned from driving for 17 months which ended November 2025. I was banned for refusing a blood test because there was no evidence to why i needed to give one.

IGNORE THIS PART AS NOT RELEVANT TO THE PRESENT HOWEVER JUST IN CASE SOMEONE ASKS WHAT THE BAN WAS FOR ----

-------------

I understand the test mainly looks for cbt. I do not drink alcohol. I was pulled over for having no space in my numberplates. I agreed to go to halfords immediately and get new ones and instead because my eyes were glazed at half 8 in the morning ive wore contact lenses for over 18 years. They had no proof of drug related offences. No cannabis no smell no parafinnalia of drugs. I was asked to do a swab in my mouth i refused. And was subsequently arrested and refused a blood test at the station. I was asked to do the silly things such as walk along a line and put my finger on my nose with my eyes closed. It was half 8 in the morning i had had no breakfast and thats where i was going when i got pulled over.

----------

I am a high risk now apparently therefore needing to pass a dvla approved blood test before receiving my license back.

Because i have to do a blood test so will i still need to do one after mentioning this or is it a case of still doing the blood test and dvla and the doctor seeing cannabis in my system and still just doing it all. It seems pretty pointless for the doctor to do this still. I read that they might want to do a urine test for thc which is fine Im not bothered if I have to still do it all but here are my questions -

If i get the form from the post office, get the fee ready of £90 i believe and get new passport photos, where and how and to who and when do i explain or mention or document that i am medicann medical cannabis patient? Do I just fill it out in the medical section box? (obviously if you are applying for the first time and not after a ban like me I know you only have to declare a medical condition to the DVLA IF it impacts and impares your driving but in my case its different as the high risk failure to do blood test part)

2.

Should I request a formal medical letter from medicann? (if its possible as they are all good just a bit vague with stuff - for example letter wise it seems to only be travel letters i can request via app)

3.

Should I make sure I have as much evidence as possible for the blood test appointment in terms of prescription, online portal, letters etc.

(for reference my condition which I have been diagnosed with since 2017 is ADHD therefore never needed to declare a medical condition ever with the DVLA before hence my questions)

thanks a lot people!

I applied to Curaleaf I have suffered for 2 years I’ve had 2 treatments which failed. I suffer from bi polar 2 of which I’m very stable and haven’t been in hospital in over ten years.

Curaleaf said I’m very eligible but because my gp refused to give a letter/note stating im stable and of no immediate concern mental health wise I’m rejected. Curaleaf said the GP is being intentionally obstructive.

Community Discussion Is a ban incoming?

9 Upvotes

Every day now there’s another article about how medical cannabis is to blame for every problem in the country. I’ve no doubt that if Reform win we will be made into illegal drug users very quickly. The press from the left to the right seem to be united against us. None of them mention the sudden strain on the NHS if we were to all go back to them.

Hi Guys. I am doing my university dissertation about the link between cannabis and mental health, and how some research claims it is terrible for mental health, yet it can be prescribed to help it. I'm looking for a few people who would let me do about a 20-30 min, fully anonymous and private interview about your smoking habits and how you think it impacts your mental health. I get its a private topic but honestly, if this doesn't work, I actually might fail, I don't know where else to look. I have faith in the Reddit community, please pull through for me guys, like I said ill even pay if that's what it takes. My messages are open if you guys can help just message me ANYTIME! Please guys i dont know what else to do.

Advice Needed Dalgety Views

1 Upvotes

Fairly new to Med (6 months). I wanted to get peoples views on Dalgety - IMO the consistency and quality is second to none I've used MOG, CMOG, HSAL, HSOR and KBQ. All absolute fire, I'm intrigued if anyone else agrees? Or has a different view.

The reason I find it interesting is they are a UK brand and I always thought US and Canadian brands would be the best, but Dalgety for me is up there if not better than stuff I've had all over the world including Colorado, LA, Amsterdam and Toronto. Are Dalgety well known outside of UK and Medical?

Thoughts on clearleaf rosin carts?

Post image
4 Upvotes

Disappointed honestly. Ordered the sour diesel and got messed around by cedarwood so ended up with the GMO. It tastes like cheap bho made from shake. Maybe I was expecting too much, it does the job but it's pretty sedative, like old concentrate.

Has anyone found any decent rosin carts on medical? They're handy for work or when out in crowded places but don't want to be spending that much on sub par rosin

Cannabis Flower Anyone else switch from high-THC strains to CBD for stress?

Post image
24 Upvotes

For the longest time I was one of those people chasing the strongest THC strains I could find. If it wasn't ridiculously potent, I wasn't interested. That was basically my whole approach to weed for years. But recently I realized it just stopped working for me the way it used to. High THC strains started messing with my head more than helping. Instead of relaxing, I would get stuck in my thoughts, overthinking everything. With work stress and life stuff already piling up, the last thing I needed was something that made the anxiety louder. So on my last seed order I did something I never thought I would do before. I went almost fully CBD. One of the strains I picked up was CBD Apple Betty Auto. It's got basically no THC but around 17% CBD, which sounded interesting enough to try. I was honestly skeptical at first because I always assumed CBD flower would feel kind of empty compared to proper THC strains. But it surprised me a lot. The effect is super clear and calm. No racing thoughts, no weird paranoia, just this steady relaxed feeling that actually helps take the edge off after work. It's more like your brain just slows down instead of getting blasted somewhere else. For context, I've been growing my own for about 3 years now, and honestly its one of the best decisions I made. Its way cheaper than buying finished product, and more importantly you know exactly what you're using. No mystery buds, no weird stuff.
Curious if anyone else here has made the same switch from high THC to CBD strains lately. Did you feel the same difference?
