Yes mate. Med patient here.
Plus points are you’re covered for driving and work if ever tested. For me it’s worth it for that alone.
The quality is getting much better than it used to be even a year ago. Companies like Cookies have just released a strain for example but it’s pricey at £10 a gram. Doja and Dank of England have strains coming soon apparently.
There’s some really nice Canadian grown weed but steer clear of the stuff from Portugal. A few British growers also coming on board.
Avoid the irradiated bud as it kills the terps but can still slap.
Prices for weed range between £6.50 and £11 a gram.
At my clinic (there loads - take your pick) they charge an initial consultation fee. It was £99 for me. You then have to have follow ups every three months with the pharmacist £29 and a once a year video call with the Doc £79.
Depending on your condition you can get up to 80g or more per month.
Personally, it’s mainly for work and driving so I sometimes buy cheap (comes in 10g tubs so just buy one tub for £65 for example) when there’s not much quality in the clinics formulary (good stuff goes quick) and then return here for my usual.
So really depends what they have in stock, how much you can afford and if you have a suitable condition. Easy enough to get accepted if you’ve tried and failed with two different regular medications. So, if you have back pain and have used two different prescribed painkillers and they don’t work, you’ll get accepted. You need to provide a summary of care from your GP. Receptionist just printed mine off. Shows what meds you’ve used.
Hope that all makes sense - I’m currently medicated! Oh and it’s illegal to smoke it. You need to vape. How they check I’ve no idea but if Babylon pulls you over you only vape. Covered under RTA Section 5 providing you’re not impaired and vape according to docs advice. Phew, that was a ramble!

Thanks mate. Wouldn’t be a problem for work but it’s worth it alone for driving. I’ve been caught hotboxing my car before and was lucky to get away with a slap on the wrist but police had bigger fish to fry that night.
Tried joining one last year but was too skint for the consultation. Funny you mention DOE cause probably who I’m going to sign up with. For britscotti alone haha. Managed hold of some in 2020 put it up there with some of the best bud I smoked. Why are farmers in Portugal crap? Yh I’ve heard this about irradiated bud..although not sure exactly what it is..assuming it’s heat treated to kill pests. Haha makes perfect sense bud. I’m actually clear headed atm but April drought not by choice haha got some stuff from LB in post. Thanks for mentioning that I never heard it was illegal to smoke it. Dust off the old pax and keep it in my motor. Thanks for mentioning legalisation as-well bro. Haha I got 1312 tat on my arm and last encounter they didn’t even notice but these days keeping my head down staying out their way. Only takes one jobs worth to cause problems so gonna sign up to cover my back. Cheers for comprehensive reply bro

No probs. If driving and you need to
take the meds out with you, just keep it in its prescribed container and keep a copy of your script. Beware over zealous peppa’s who don’t understand the law. They still try it on or don’t quite get it. And don’t carry skins, etc. they’ll claim you were smoking. No comment and refer them to the appropriate RTA section before they take you off for a blood test.
The irradiated weed ain’t that bad but can be muted with little to no flavour. I believe it zaps bugs, prevents mold etc.
As for Portugal, I don’t believe it’s the farmers, some is grown in other countries such as Germany or Macedonia and shipped to
Portugal for packaging. Their facilities and care of the flower is pretty poor. I go for Canadian grown and imported if I can. It is still usually packed in Germany and shipped to UK though, but avoids this particular packing facility. A lot of miles in the bud but as I say, some UK farmers now licenced to grow and distribute so things improving. Good luck with it.

Thanks for pro tips OG. Script being a document the medical company will provide? Sounds like you speak from experience. I'll keep the relevant RTA section screenshotted on my phone. I'll steer clear of it..common theme ppl say is avoid irradiated bud. Can't imagine they have the best grows in Macedonia..surprised by Germany tho after they legalised you would think the standard would have been improved. Appreciate it thanks for taking time out your day and for the helpful info.

I’ve been a medical cannabis patient for just over 3 years now. Imo the quality has been improving a lot, there are a few decent medical strains available though it’s still not quite at the standard you’d expect for the costs. I tend to avoid the irradiated products, as I find they’re often too dry and lack a lot of the terpene profile.

I know a few people who swear by the oils and just get them monthly instead of flower. I’ve also seen that they’re introducing a medical cannabis ‘asthma pump’ which I’m actually quite interested in trying out.

That said I do a lot of driving so I mainly keep my prescription for the legal cover, it’s already saved my licence at least once.

You can see all the clinics, pharmacies, strains and prices over at medbud.wiki

Have heard the quality is improving and will steer clear or irradiated bud. Been interested in terpenes for a while but would be good to explore it more and find out which ones help the most.

Heard medibud wiki is a good resource and you’re right I would do it for the driving. I’ve been wreckless and caught in comprising situations with smoke but been lucky and came away unscathed. You’re giving a prescription card presumably which is enough evidence to present to police? Other bigger mentioned vaping it and not smoking- did they call you on that or was it possession that was the issue?

You get a prescription send by the pharmacy, normally an online copy and a paper copy comes with the meds. And yes the other Bigga is correct, only allowed to vape it, will probably be arrested if found to be smoking it. I was pulled randomly just because of the time of night and area I was in, luckily I had finished a smoke a while before. They just asked me if I’d smoked any cannabis this evening and I said no only vape it and explained I have a medical prescription and after 5 mins I was on my way. I’ve heard stories of others not being so lucky but as long as you’re not impaired and got your prescription and med pot you should be good.

Thanks for the helpful advice bro. Key takeaways carry in med pot, avoid carrying skins and have a copy of prescription to hand to show them.

What law changes? I just used Coinbase in the UK. Have you completed their little test?

Yh done test, tried both putting myself down as a restricted investor and 'none of these statements apply' but it said I'm no longer eligble for trading in uk? Tried again but failed the test XD sure I could google the answer tbf

Here are all the answers for the Coinbase test mate.

Hi Bud thankyou passed 2nd time

Have another problem dunno if you can help. I have messaged seller. I sent money to an address and closed the tab as was on my phone and assumed it had gone through. The money has been sent to this address and I copied it directly from little biggy but for some reason the order is not showing anywhere on orders tab?

Were you logged in? LB used to let you store your address. I would always know I was logged in then because it would populate automatically on the order page. I wish they would bring that function back.

I believe I was logged man but if I wasn't might explain why its not showing. I've got the address logged on coinbase. Hoping the vendor gets back to me soon as was a fair amount I ordered. By the sounds of it maybe I ordered logged off and thats why its not showing?

Hi Treebeard1407,

I am going to give you some help as I have experienced many similar experiences that you are outlining.

You need to look at your coin base transaction history and click on the transaction and find the transaction id number and then go on to the chat and ask to speak to a human.

Once they are online give them the Txt transaction number and they will assist you further.

I hope that helps and when you get it all sorted here's our current menu above!

GT

Do you use coinbase? apologies if I'm being dense but in the chat it's just a bot with automated responses and stock questions. Doesn't seem to be a way to chat to a human

Type " speak to human" I haven't used for some time to be fair but usually they either will email you back or you will go on hold till a human rep is available.

Legend thankyou

I mainly use it to keep my stress levels under control. I would find myself getting super stressed about silly things. So much so that I could feel my blood pumping around my body. I've never been aggressive or violent, but I would constantly be stressed out. To start with I was trying to control it with Stella and super string cider. Then I found myself with a constant acid burning feeling in my belly.. then 4 years ago my misses suggested I made the change to weed and I have never looked back. Although it does make me lazy sometimes haha. But I'd rather have that than have a heart attack at 46 lol

lol, defitenely alcoohol in the long run wouldn't have helped you much, it would have really destroyed body and soul. thank god you listened to your misses, wise change. don't forget the simple things, walk barefoot in nature once in a while with your misses, quality time in nature. she saved you with that suggestion lol.

peace and love to you both, tgt x.

Thanks man I'm certainly a different man now. I will tell her what you said, very kind. Wishing you and the team much love and peace too and thanks for your suggestion we will walk with nature at the weekend x

happy to know!
tgt x

I doubt the Stella or Super Strong cider helped with any violent tendencies you may or may not have had 🤔 Agree though that laziness over cardiac arrest any day 😂

I'm gonna apologise up front. Didn't intend to make this a long post but it's mad the things you remember when you're baked and start writing 🙈🤣.

TLDR: shit happens and weed helps.


Had back problems for years due to a protruding disc, that was mis-diagnosed because I started with psoriatic arthritis around the same time(2009ish).

Weed helped me with pain relief alongside co-codamol, but I also found it good for appetite, sleep and just my all round mood and mental health while I went through the methotrexate, sulfasalazine, leflunomide, humira ordeal trying to free up my joints so I could get back to work.
MRI scan found the dodgy disc around 2015, had surgery to shave off the protruding bit but that didn't work very well so it was 4 years or so of epidural steroid and nerve blocking injections (evil procedure to go through 😖), NSAIDs, gabapentin and sitting on the waiting list for fusion surgery.

Life got interesting when I had the fusion done at the end of 2019. Initially it was amazing.
Sciatica gone.

After a couple of months of recovery and rehab, I was in a lot less pain, cutting down on the co-codamol and thinking about starting to come off the gabapentin, and just using the weed to relax and ease the remaining aches and pains, that were a lot more manageable, at the end of the day.

Much success 💪

So may 2020, middle of the initial covid meltdown, I've been back in work full time for 3 and a half weeks working on home extension, already worried about the possibility of being banned from working ("they wouldn't close the entire country down, would they?" 😷👀).

5am. I'm in the kitchen doing stretching exercises and drinking tea while I wait for my morning round of pills to start working.
I'd been giving myself a couple of hours to get get my body in gear every morning before being picked up.

I was leaning over the breakfast bar, using it to lift most of my weight up off my feet to stretch the bottom of my back out. I lowered myself down and took a step towards the kettle on my right and SNAP!
Left leg gone 🙈
tibia and fibula both completely separated and my foot/ankle wobbling about whilst I lay on the deck screaming.

9 days in hospital with no visits allowed waiting for a surgeon to glue me back together and I'm back home with a bottle of morphine and an 18 inch titanium bar with 16 screws stopping the wobble.

The surgical wounds took a loooong time to heal up and I wasn't discharged until January 2021. Took me a while to start trusting my new bionic left leg, but by March I was back on light duties at work and starting to feel a little bit more positive about the world.

This time I managed 2 weeks of being a productive member of society before a flipping egg yolk size blister appeared on my shin, burst and carried on leaking what I thought was blood.

It actually took them nearly 4 weeks to get me in for an "emergency" xray that showed osteomyelitis had travelled along 3 of the screws, into the bone and along the titanium, which basically required removal of all metalwork, a tablespoon size chunk of bone scraped out and one of those fancy pico dressings for a month while the massive hole on my shin tried to close up.

Mean time, the sciatica is back due to "irritation" of the nerve, and I'm hobbling around on a leg that i trust less than I'd trust Michael Jackson to babysit my kids.
My head is fooked.
I think I may have ptsd.
Pain clinic won't do anything until I've had counselling, that I've been waiting for since October 2021, and it feels like the pain specialist's attitude is basically deal with it 🤷🏻‍♂️

Body is knackered, head is knackered, I applied for pip in June 2021 and am still waiting for a tribunal date after being diagnosed fully able bodied over the phone.

So for all of that shit 👆 (there's more but most have probably given up reading by now 🤣), the one constant comfort has been the beautiful miss Mary Jane and her ability to stop me from feeling like shit 24/7 365.
She's helped me to deal with an absolute shit hand of cards, in many ways, and I love her very much 🥰😅.

If you got this far, we'll done! Treat yourself to a cannabis product of your choosing 😉👍

Wowzer…I will never moan about my spinal issues again! 😵‍💫

Good luck with it all buddy 👍🤞….long live LB😻

We all have a right to moan about our own issues, lol. Chronic pain is chronic pain, regardless of what caused it.

So moan away sista ✊ nobody has to listen to us moan if they don't want to 🤣

your writing skills are so captivating, felt like I was reading a book.

so many difficult moments you have been through, really had to be a warrior.

have you ever looked into any alternative/integral medicine or holistic treatments as well? neural therapy with procaine shots are amazing to regenerate the nervous tissue, many times our scars contribute for pain in other parts of our body. seems like a small detail, but could bring you more life quality in the long run. I would look into accupunture as well, or even deep tissue massage.

lots of love, tgt x

Haha, thanks.

I could've kept writing for another hour about all of the treatments I've tried.
Massage is very good for relieving tight muscles and the different buzzing, tingling, aching sensations that I get down my left leg and groin. Only problem is that relief (in my case) is very short term.

I have a spot on the top of my foot, along the first 2 metatarsal bones, that feels like I'm getting text messages on vibrate all the time. Aches like a mofo constantly.
But when I get some oil on it and give it a good strong massage, it's like flipping a switch!

All the sciatica pains down my leg stop, the vibrating sensation stops texting me and the mental relief is amazing.
The trade off though, is that the foot ache goes from constant low to mid level nagging pain, to a super localised stabbing pain right at that one spot.

The mixture of instant relief and whatever endorphins and stuff that gets released, and the new, sharp pain from the massage is very hard to describe. I'll just say that the kids find the noises I make absolutely hilarious 🤣.

I'm usually back to aching within the hour, but every little helps, right? 😅

Ouch 🤕

That was an epic post!

Of course I read it I'm baked rn too! i feel ya pain buddy (literally lol) its places like this that give us a chance to post stuff like that and it be totally cool so good on ya cos mine was a lot shorter, one day at a time well sometimes one hour at a time but theres always hope in the smallest of things and weed enhances that so much, lost count of the times i cant take any more meds and im chain smoking weed and throwing in some booze for good measure and then I find the right music to make me forget for just a little bit and then the drink gets put down and the smile widens as the THC has met with my wanna be dancing music part of my brain and ganged up to kick the hell out of the pain part for a bit! Boy weed rants are good lol, peace bro and hope you're not in too much pain atm

I use it to alleviate anxiety, depression, BPD and PTSD symptoms. It's not a miracle cure, but it most definitely helps. CBD every day, THC on the weekends. The CBD helps me with the every day anxiety, panic attacks and sleep problems. Vaping bud on the weekend helps me to feel normal, able to concentrate and like I'm not going completely insane with the flashbacks and emotional outbursts.

indeed, holy mary jane. there has been lots of studies on how this medicine lowers ptsd symptoms, more even with the association of thc - cbd. glad you found this relief.

I also heard of a new therapy treatment with induced lucid dreaming, sounds really interesting! in case you are not open to psilocybin. psychedelic therapy has been super effective for ptsd and depression. for bpd I guess the research is still recent, but studies show how psilocybin improves emotional regulation. in my case, the best for my depression was psilocybin.

but of course, I'm no doctor and every body is a different universe.

lots of love, tgt x

I use cannabis to help me switch off and unwind and ultimately sleep.. always had a problem relaxing and falling asleep ever since I was a kid and younger according to my mother.

wow, really serious issue. lack of sleep in the long run can cause so many harm to our health. alongside mary jane, some mineral reposition is key to a great quality sleep. sleep is physical as it is metaphysical, I mean, it can have a lot to do with our biochemicals. it's good to look for a doctor who works with mineral/vitamins reposition. mineral and vitamin absorption is a complex thing, many times our body needs a substance to be able to absorb another substance. I know that magnesium citrate and potassium can help, but this means nothing if your system lacks another substance in order to absorb them. have you looked into that yet?

tgt x

Thanks for that insight but I don’t think it’s a serious issue.. a little herb a couple of hours before bed and make sure I don’t go to bed stoned out of my head then I can switch off easily and have a restful night.
Accompanied by my varied and balanced diet with regular exercise and I’m good to go. Cheers lads.

As a younger me I had an accident on a bike breaking my arm and damaging my back, have used it since I was a teenager (alongside cocdamol) and find it helps massively with IBS and the cramping as again doctors would rather shrug it off and say crack on.

it's easier nowadays to listen to a doctor prescribe a drug that in the long run brings more risks to our system than a doctor who stands up to the medical council and recognises the efficacy of plants or is aware of the languages of the body.

if your IBS is not related to family history or bad eating habits, as is the case of my cousin, it is very much related to our mental health or even to the use of antibiotics in the long run without the essential supplementation of good bacteria (probiotics and/or prebiotics).

interesting to notice how through mary jane we can observe the intestine-brain brain-intestine communication. it relaxes, nurtures your thoughts, consequently relaxes a bit more your IBS.

have you tried the good bacteria to strenghen you? the use of probiotics can promote modulation of the intestinal microbiota by competition and consequent inhibition of pathogen adhesion to the intestinal epithelium, which means that they improve the intestinal mucosal barrier function by downregulating of mucosal immune activation, increasing mucus layer and tight junction protein production. so, in general, it promotes anti-inflammatory effects through the suppression of pro-inflamamatory cytokines, improving intestinal immunity and stimulating the production of secretary IgA (immunoglobin A, very important for the defense of the mucous membrane) and intestine-brain communication.

I'm an enthusiastic about psychosomatics, integral health and chinese medicine. through an holistic view, our intestines teach us that more important than possessing is knowing how to enjoy, that offering is as vital as conquering and that the only true appropriation is the possession of oneself. in the movement of filling and emptying, they enable each individual to know themselves, to build themselves, to exercise themselves, to improve themselves and to offer themselves, guaranteeing the healthy peristalsis of behaviour and emotions.

I went deep on this one, lol.

peace and love,
tgt x

Takes away my aches and pains,I’ve got a physical job and I’m getting on a bit(over 50)and I do a bit of running,so a bit of smoke relaxes my muscles,and help me recover,plus also relieves a bit of depression you know what it’s like now days with all the shit going on.😁
I think it nourishes your endocanabanoid system also.
Happy smoking 👍

glad to hear mary jane brings relief to your pains. also, magnesium citrate replacement helped me a lot with the contractures and muscular pains that I had. and, without a doubt, psilocybin exorcised the depression demon out of me (and many other people that are also healing from it with psychedelics therapy).

lots of love, tgt x

18 year ago I de gloved my lower right leg. Had reconstructive surgery looks like a shark bite I lost all movement and feeling in my leg so I don’t walk like I should and over the years it has resulted in damage to my hips and knees ha. Cannabis helps in so many ways with the pain and muscle spasms I get in leg. Here’s a picture ha i was ashamed of it for years but now I don’t give a fuck ha cannabis also helped with that ha

In July last last year in 2021 i had a life changing event not what I ever imagined at my age. I was in so much agony I could have been paralysed if they didn’t do the emergency operation on me…
I’m 33 and had both my discs removed from lumbar spine which has put me in a wheelchair, due to weakness and tremors in both legs.
I’ve had physio and I’ve been discharged from them too.
Pain killers don’t do me justice cannabis or hash is my pain relief, it helps me get an appetite as been bed bound I dont ever feel hungry so it helps.
I am in severe pain everyday due to been diagnosed with degenerative disc disease, cannabis helps my pain. Without any bad side affects unlike prescribed medication from doctors. That make you feel terrible.

Im not able to get upstairs due to my house that cant be adapted. Im on a waiting list for an adapted property so im able to have a proper shower as i havent had a proper bath/shower since july 2021.

Upon all of above it has affected my mood by having these life-changing effects. Before I had 6 jobs n now I’ve been medically retired!
Cannabis also helps me sleep and get a good nights rest, without it I don’t sleep.
It also helps with stress to help me concentrate better. And stop me from been scratchy.

helps me deal with my social anxiety, ASD and insomnia. doubt id be here if it wasnt for mary jane

some plants can really save our soul. I feel a deep gratitude to be able to work with a plant that helps you have more peace and health. your comment touched me.

tgt x

I get relief from anxiety, and also muscle cramps due to being on my feet all day working. And it helps when I'm feeling a bit down. I think things would definitely be worse without it.

weed defitenely helps in this situation. if I were you I would pay attention to the cramps, they can mean lots of things. even dehydration because if you spend long times up in your feet, you need to guarantee good blood flow. low mineral depletion could also be a factor that enhances this kind of pain. since I started to replenish magnesium citrate in my body (1 pill during the morning and 2 at night) i've slept much better and felt much less muscular cramps. things we eat interfere a lot in our blood supply as well. just avoid dehydration as much as you can. i'm no doctor but, wish you all the best.

tgt x

Ur totally right dehydration happens a lot due to not stopping and having liquids enough at work, sometimes find myself at 5pm having only had one drink for the day but that's my fault, but something I'm gonna improve see if it helps. Cheers guys.

It helps just about everything for me, pain relief for both diabetic neuropathic and back injury pain. It reduces apnea:(it started when I had a five year break) and insomnia. And the main one for me is anxiety, although I must say the munchies do not help the diabetis!

I am not sure I'd be alive without cannabis today. A lot of people like to paint daily use as an addiction, but for me its medicine. When I stop using cannabis, withdrawal is not new symptoms due to addiction, but a return to the stress, grief, and nightmares the holy herb alleviates for me.

Cannabis as a tool to alleviate grief has been fantastic for me. One of my best friends riding along the hardest journey of my life!

It calms down my whole world, keeps me cool. Used all sorts of drugs to get rid of my anxiety/depression but never weed alone. Now at 48 I have used only weed for the past two years and what a difference. Tried the medical weed but it’s shit in my opinion. I found the green team and have discovered the perfect smoke. 👏🏻👍🏻

I'm an amputee...lbk. I get terrible phantom limb pain...burning/ intense pins and needles...permanently! Have tried everything to control it and I really don't sleep much...tbh the best way to sleep for me us to get absolutely wankered so I pass out...obvs this is not a good life choice! Weed/ hash helps me cope and keeps me relatively sane...also helps me sleep...sometimes.
This is why I'm always placing my orders at 3am 🙂

I suffer with seizures, cannabis
has given me my life back to the point I can go mountain biking again. It's literally a godsend and nothing the dr's and neurologists have given me has worked, so feck pills I'll stick to the herb.

Interesting thread this I've enjoyed reading all of your reasons, I still find it mad that alcohol is legal and weed isn't. Long term alcohol use has never helped anyone, but look what this plant can do.

It helps me with massively with migraines. I've been suffering with really bad migraines since I was 7, have been going to doctors about it for about 15 years now and I still haven't found a medication to work as well as weed.
It is quite astounding how much of a difference weed makes, there's times where it makes it dissipate completely. I have yet to even get close to getting such relief using the prescribed medication doctors give me. I experienced weed in College and haven't looked back since.

I use hash only for migraine prevention. I have suffered for more than 10years with chronic, debilitating, pupil piercing pain, every other day if not daily. I'm on Triptans for the pain and anti-psychotic preventatives after no other preventative medication would take. The preventatives i take are in the main for people with epilepsy to prevent seizures, amazing really! Anyway, I found my regular source of hash when I found LB and my migraines have been all but absent for the past 18months, but ove the last 4 odd weeks, due to forced T breaks and dry days here and there, my migraines are creeping back in, and the pain which was all becoming but a distant memory now are becoming all too real again. I have stockpiled quite a few Triptans but I still have to wait for the migraines to set in before i can take them and endure a hell of a time with pain before they take effect. I don't want to start taking the epi pills again. The ridiculously good quality of hash available on LB is what has made my quality of life so much better and TGT were the firat vendors I used on here and was blown away with their Ketama Gold, remember that one guys...if you get any back in i would just love some! Now am just waiting for some orders to land but sodding RM is not helping, longest wait so far as of today waiting 14 days and counting for a normal post pack. Stay cool 🙏

I smoke to treat long-term C-PTSD symptoms. It is the only thing that relieves the physical stress held in my body. Research shows mushrooms are one of the best treatments for alleviating symptoms and regenerating atrophied receptors in the pre-frontal cortex, but I have too much anxiety to hold my shit together on mushrooms so they are a no go for me. Weed is is the only way.

I've been prescribed it medically for just over 2 years and it's made a massive difference to nerve damage and pain that the pills side effects can ruin minds and relief never came, I used to just enjoy it recreationally but daily medical use changes how i view and use cannabis and the state of the legal

After ending up with long COVID, cannabis has become the one thing that's effective at removing the pain. It's so much easier trying to sleep and make my way through the day thanks to this 😊

When I was around 11, I was diagnosed with a number of muscular diseases, triggered by an aggressive virus. This whole process also led to me developing anxiety and stress epilepsy. Nothing really helped, painkillers can have a minor effect and keeping yourself fit and healthy definitely makes it a bit easier, but there was never any true relief. That was until a friend introduced me to hash at 14. At first it was just fun because I thought it was cool and I'd never experienced anything like it. As I got older I started to enjoy learning about the varying effects different strains of weed/hash could have. I also began to realize how much relief it gave me from my pain in my head and body. I got into the routine of going to school and then work, and having a smoke at the end of each day to wind down. No matter how much pain I was in physically or mentally, cannabis gave me true relief. I could have the most stressful day of my life, come home in a shit mood, but after I smoke my worries disappear, as does the pain.

Cannabis is amazing and it's a shame it's been a pawn in political agendas for the last 50 odd years because it's a wonder drug that everyone should have access to at least every once in a while. Little Biggy is fantastic because once you find sellers you trust, you're guaranteed quality at a cheaper price than on the street. Been ordering from TGT for a couple years now and not planning on stopping anytime soon x

I have a back injury from the military and ADHD and OCD, so nowadays when I'm a bit older that's pretty much why I smoke cannabis in the evening for. I'm leaning more for the Indicas/Kush to be honest, but it's also nice to have some good old haze on a nice summer day. If this was US, I would be 1st. On the medical cannabis card, but let's wait and see, at least we got LB and TGT since I'm really againts any street level retailers. Thanks for being here for us, and for exceptional service 💂

Control inflamation. Of my gut colitis and arthiritis.
Helps with the pain and general feeling rubbish all the time depression.
And stress just lets me get on with having a life

I started taking medical cannabis about a year ago due to having severe bowel malabsorption since 7 and anxiety to where I never leave the home due to my stomach issues so after 20 years of suffering I turned to cannabis and haven't looked back. honestly the laws are stupid it should just be a medication and see as that even with years of Dr's tablets I was in the bathroom 6 hours a day all my life until now where I can just have like 2 js or some other form of thc a day and my stomach is completely fine weed honestly took me from wanting to step of the railing every day to having somewhat of a life even though my heath still isn't perfect it's a damn lot better thanks to using this medication.

Sometimes help. alot makes me worse as well

Anxiety and back pain.
The back pain has been a constant and due to being an oversized bean pole with a desk job will probably never go away for good. But since lockdown I've found cannabis is the only thing that lets me release the tension and focus on the bits I need to do my physio effectively, without it I over-tense and can't activate the muscles I need to without activating everything else around them.
The anxiety is a bit different, sometimes it's low level and I don't need cannabis to help, sometimes I can tie myself up so much I stammer... until I smoke. This is a more recent problem brought on by long periods of high stress, but people keep telling me to get diagnosed for ASD, which would explain a lot! I watched a video the other day where this doctor said some people use cannabis "to modulate neurodivergent behaviour" and thought that sounds about right! 😂

So I have a flipside medical story...

A few years ago I had thyroid cancer and had my thyroid removed. Subsequently I am prescribed levothyroxine which is a synthetic thyroxine substitute. Without it I would go into a coma and die. Problem is it is common to struggle to get the dosage right as it is all linked to diet and hormones and there are some horrible side effects. Palpitations, trembling, stomach cramps etc.

Anyway I have smoked weed for the last 30 years but then the THC exacerbated my symptoms and made me far worse.... so I had to stop. God I miss it. Nowadays I smoke occasionally, usually in the mornings when the dreaded surge has yet to awaken.

The moral is...there is a flipside to weed and it's impact on our lives is not always a path to utopia.... just saying

ganja is the difference between life or death for me. i stay medicated at all times.

PTSD means I have hyper vigilance, I'm always on edge.
When I smoke I feel normal again. I can work, engage with friends, and be a happier, more productive version of myself. Keeps the nightmares away too lol

I have wet macular degeneration caused by VERY high myopia, so I'm basically losing my sight. There's no cure, but Cannabis helps with my mental health. (keep it light lol).
Love you guys

I use it to improve my mood, relaxation and sleep...I used to use alcohol to relax but glad I changed...

Oh yeah its why im here, 17 years security services then a major spinal injury so a decent indica helps the PTSD and pain relief, I buy a lot of shakes from here to smoke and make a cannabutter with the rest as I have to take price into account now i'm retired, weed improves my quality of life so much I literally cant put how much into words. Ty to all growers, vendors and smokers who keep this site going!

I use it to help manage OCD symptoms. Works a treat!

Helps with PTSD symptoms, especially muscle armouring when I’m about to sleep.

Slows my brain down.

I've smoked ganja for over 30 years, helps with pain, chill's me out and keep the stress and anxiety at bay. Due to heart attack 3 years ago, I no longer smoke joints, usually just bongs and edibles and the odd vape now and again. ✌️

It really is killing it, 30 quid is a joke, was trying to grab something thats been in my cart for about 5 days, im pretty much going without it at this rate, no way i can pay 30 quid just to spend my own money.

I really thought my first Christmas on LB would be legendary, its not going to be.

What are you trying to buy B0W?

Hey Polly, so i have a couple of bits of flower on order from The Spacemen, Q of a nice treat and a half of a better value option, ive been juggling them as long as possible to try figure out which one to pay for and which to cancel, at these prices its cancel both 🤦🏻‍♂️
Im going to try again in the early hours🤞🏻

Had to empty my cart too my man can’t justify spending almost a Q in fees 😕

Its not the way i like to empty my bag!

Ouch!…hope you get sorted and don’t go short over the festive season mate🤞🏼

Thank you, keep those fingers crossed, fees down a little 🤞🏻

Feel you mate local plug for goose this year 😩

Yep, I just bought some shake for £60 and had to pay £30 in network fees (50%!!!). Something needs to be done asap as people will start looking elsewhere. This should've been sorted already tbh the fees aren't going anywhere...

Yeah I am already trying to medicate, already on a very low income... I think I have now been priced out of LB completely. I can barely scrape together the bit that I can as it is, so thats me out I think!!

No way you just paid the £30 fee for shake 🫣

Needed shake, it's a brand new batch and £90 in total for the oz is still somewhat reasonable. Still the network fees are avoidable and unexcusable at this point.

Hi frogman420..I myself did a $90 order this morning.( Not for shake).using Bittylicious
Cost was £73.48. With fees jumped up to £93.67
So £20 is quite a jump. Considering normally pay £5 fees at the most..crazy atm 🥴🥴😕

Yes it needs sorting im done with this site until it changes its so frustrating, everyone is losing money left right and center, enough is enough just before christmas to. No one buying anything for a month or two, they will change the then.

Hey Guys,
So yeah I agree the fees are getting ridiculous and I about had a stroke when I had to add currency twice just to pay the fees. So i started using a wallet that tells you the fees upfront which is still crap but at least i know the damage before hand.

I don't mind paying some fees and mine only ended up being $20 thereabouts. A month or two ago I think for the same amount it was only $10 so yeah LB needs to allow us the use of less popular crypto before everyone rages and destroys things...well ok maybe that was just me lol

Merry Xmas guys and hopefully we got some kind of resolution!

I was just about to order some hash for Xmas from Green Avenger Weed and had to cancel the order due to the insane fees Bittylicious are charging! Wtf is going on, it's completely unreasonable, and fucking over the buyer and seller retrospectively. We as buyers will be priced out on LB, certainly not paying a Q in fees! I've always used LB, and generally pay maybe £5 - £6 in fees which i can justify, but not these extortionate rates, they can fuck right off. If this continues, it's going to be bad news for the sellers. Local plug it is for Xmas.

I'm running low on the CI 🦄 piss. Don't want to pay that many fees but not many other options open to me.

Had to stock up on Unicorn 🦄 Piss myself!🔥🤩

The more festive Reindeer Piss still a pipedream eh? 🦌

😂🎅😂

Wow was £15 most of last week - now looks like £30 is the new ‘fee’ - that is fucking ludicrous. Cancelled all my Christmas orders. Looks like I’m going old school scoring this year 😡😡😡

Yeah it’s really shitty. Wanted to get an order in for a couple ounces total but spilt over 4 vendors. No way I’m laying out 120 in fees. I’ll use cityofcanna in the meantime.

Can ask what City of canna is my dude?

Alternative site. Normally very expensive compared to LB but as you can pay in ££ doesn’t seem so bad when crypto is crippling 😖

Yeah. Wasn’t sure if it was ok to mention here. It is a little pricey and I tend to stick with LB but with these fees it’s meh at the moment. Going to bite the bullet with some hash today from here though… Will just have to get a decent chunk to make it seem worthwhile 😂

Thank you my friend!! I have always wondered, what I would do if LB went down... I don't really have a local plug!! I am a 41year old disabled woman, stuck at home. I don't even go to the pub... you know, so I can ask dogdy Dennis, who's always half baked and sits in the corner by the loos!! 🤣😂

You don’t need to do 4 separate transactions . Just Put everything in the same cart and When you go to pay for the cart It will give you one total to pay and the site will redirect the funds to the appropriate vendors ….
It’s still £30 at the mo but for a bulk order it’s easier to swallow

Is it!? I didn’t know this. Thank you. You’re sure? 😂👌🏻

I'm trying to order at the moment but there's no way I'm paying £30 in fees.

fees are killer mate. The site really needs an alternative coin quick!!

Can anyone explain to me WTF is going on? The fees are insane right now.

Traffic on the blockchain due to volatility- miners set their own fees and we are hostage to it….

Great if XRP or XLM can be used

Yeah i agree, it’s honestly ridiculous, i was trying to make a purchase of $135 over the weekend and had a £45 network fee 😫🤯

Luckily this morning it had calmed down a bit and i paid £14 network fee, but still having to wait and check network fees every 10 until they calmed down was not very fun and there needs to be a better alternative for when the fees are fucked like this.

Getting annoying now as today (18th) is probs about the last day to order if you want it definitely guaranteed before xmas, although I haven't noticed my post slowing down yet tbh.

The fees had been going down since last night, where half as much this morning as yesterday thought holding out a little longer would see them come down some more but nope ofcourse not they've gone right back up even higher! If you catch any sort of break biggas just take it while you can!

Good luck everyone <3

Try in the early hours when the Americans are asleep it will be better.

Its not really LB's fault, its a problem with bitcoin.
I use electrum to send BTC - this gives quite a bit of flexibility on how to pay the fee - you get 3 options and a slider.
I paid about £9 today on £200 which cleareed in about 30 mins.
I could have paid about £30 if I had chosen one of the other methods.
Also pays to look at the mempool which tells you the current rates:
https://mempool.space/

this is definitely not LB fault, the fault is with the Bitcoin network itself.

Are they relatively easy to use? I still use coinbase smh

I use coinbase to buy
I then transfer to my electrum 'wallet' on my PC.
I then send from electrum.
Generally not a good idea to pay LB direct from coinbase.

Thanks for letting me know that! Is this because of it being more traceable? Also electrum fees I assume are like everyone elses rn?

The next btc halving is this coming April, i bet that fucks it up even more. We need another coin. im a conspircist. i blame THEM

Yeah man idk wtf I'm going to do, I don't have irl dealers anymore.
Maybe it's time to hit TOR sites...

Just came here to say the same . I couldn’t believe my eyes this morning.
Like most people I accept there will be a handling fee for using the service and I thought £15 was more than enough for that but £30 today is just taking liberties . As with so many things greed has taken something useful and made it unworkable . Bitcoin needs kicking into touch by this site .

Has any one tried revolut, really simple to add and send to bct address, I ordered £200 of stuff and only charged me £8 fee in total

Was this today? 18/12/23?

I ordered today mate was charged £29.19 for network fees
