Medical weed
Just curious if anyone here is a uk medical patient. I’ve thought about it several times but ultimately decided against as I’ve heard the weed is crap and overpriced. Interested to hear others opinions on it.

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.

Brilliant info. When you ask for your summary of care do you have to specify what meds you need listed or is it just a general summary 🤔

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.
