It was like that at the start of legalization 100%, impossible to find legal weed local. That issue has long since been fixed. Now there is more selection legally vs illegal. The problem with doctors writing scripts for 10 and 20 grams a day to people who don't even use that much, it then in some Cases covered by there medical plan. Then the extra cannabis these patients acquired and had paid for , then turn around and sell it on the street. I think more discretion is needed for cannabis prescriptions. Me I personally do need cannabis medically as it helps my adhd and also my scoliosis which is linked to my 37 degree curve in my spine.
Discussion
I'm curious what strain do you use for ADHD and how does it compare in effectiveness for treatment?
I got ADHD too. Scripted 60mg Dexedrine/day. It works but gets tiring sometimes being sped up all the time so if weed can be as effective I'm up for trying it.
Curious on chill strains for anxiety to replace or reduce use of benzos too.
50/50 hybrids work well. Cheese strains do well, especially UK cheese. Amnesia Haze does well also I find.
My comment was directed to the adhd question. As far as anxiety , I find indica can be good for anxiety. But I don't find cannabis always helps with my anxiety tbh.
I've had good luck with GSC for anxiety but mostly found it cost prohibitive to use it enough to provide all day anxiety relief like Valium or clonazepam for example.
Not an issue medically.
From how they talked on the phone the attitude seems to be if you have multiple dx's they're like "see it happens to help with anything else too."
Which is the way to go cuz I can give it a try for everything without having to risk losing my current scripts I know work for me (but at the same time I know weed is the better long term solution - I can't imagine daily speed intake is good for me).
Makes sense. The classic UK strains are very sativa heavy.
I also need medically prescribed cannabis. Grateful we live in this country that can assist our needs!
Yeah you're lucky it's a very new thing over here! I was genuinely shocked at how easy it is. Just a couple years ago getting a script was almost impossible despite being technically legal. Now it's super chill.
I legit need it because well I dunno how to describe sensory overload to someone whose never experienced it, best example I can give is imagine the smallest noise in a room drives you absolutely mad, and so do tiny details with how your clothes fit, and lighting, just fuckin everything is magnified x100 and you can't turn it off.
I've taken pretty much every drug legal or otherwise but only cannabis makes this totally disappear. I forget I even have it at all. It's fucking miracle shit.
Happy to get a legal supply so I know I'm getting top quality and actually getting the strain I choose and not paying black market prices.
Plus in the UK we have a retarded law where even if you're not impaired you can get done for driving with weed in your system. As you know it can stay there for an entire month. It's just a law to attack drug users. But there's a medical exception for it. Big load off my mind.
