Flower Mega-Thread: Asking for Strain Recommendations

[Nadiezdha]

Hey Nadiezdha, warm welcome to a fantastic community... How are you getting on with your carts ? I found the Aurora® Sourdough worked really well for broken/intermittent sleep, to have at the side of the bed rather than to have to mess around loading bowls or whatever...
Good luck on your MC journey

Woooooo! I just had my prescription meeting. Approved for 1 each of the Aurora® Sourdough and EHD carts via Montu, as well as 20g flower, which I'm hoping to redeem for Sudz and Black Jelly via IPS (which are both discount-tastic at the mo). The doc was clearly a noob, so didn't know how to split the scripts between pharmacies, but says pharmacy dept will sort it all out. Relief...
I gather it'll be the end of the week before it's gone through MDT and made it to pharmacy - and I know Montu have a delightful habit of sending their payment links at 1531 on a Friday, so I guess it'll be another week before I receive the meds.
Super-stoked to have got a script for the carts at the first meeting, though. Thanks, you lot for all your strain advice. And props to the dev team for building this ace website - it's been a superb resource.

Happy days, it won't be long before you get that notification, "out for delivery" every sound you hear you'll be at the window, blinds twitching

Congrats on getting though everything and I'm loving the fact people are aware now of their options like you with IPS because when I came onto medical I was unaware that options like this existed but thankfully awareness is raised now a couple of years on and people are exercising their right to use outside pharmacies at will.
Fingers crossed it's here before weekend but if not at least its sorted out now

Great news and yes onto the delivery fun and games now lol ! For heavens sake stay home all day lol !

This is definitely a chat I'll be having as I'm slightly more confident now and I ain't missing the discounts now they're so brilliantly available !

I wouldn't be aware of it without all the info on MedBud and helpful folks like @joint_account posting links to things like the IPS formulary. Your hard work is appreciated, GH, @Muiredach et al
Not to mention YT reviewers like SmackSalad and PseudoRecreational. I've learned more in the past 2 weeks than in the past 30+ years of cannabis use.

Oh trust me this site has been @Muiredach 's labour of love for 3 and half years and all the developments are down to him and his skills and I sit in awe as he brings thing to reality and he's been beavering away all day on site improvements and I'm just glad to be able to lighten the load any way I can ,the dude is really something else and thanks for your appreciation as I'm sure it makes all involved in the forum feel better for the help we all provide as a community

I am looking for a flower strain that has geraniol and/or Linalool, Caryophyllene & Humulene.

Ideally not a Sativa, although I am allot more tolerant to MC now than I was when I last tried a Sativa a few months ago so maybe I need to go try some again

So far I have spotted green joy moon rocks & liberation lemon cake, both of these list Linalool & Caryophyllene.

Those discounts are amazing, eh?! 10g each of Sudz and Black Jelly for just over £100, wow.

I'm new here and have also been looking for strains to try. So far, the best method I've found has been to look at the MedBud list of what's available from my clinic/in my price range, and then go to the actual product page, check out the terp profile, and then use the discussion tab to see what folks are saying about it. I also watch any reviews by SmackSalad and PseudoRecreational on YouTube and also read the comments for more feedback from MC patients. YouTube reviews are especially useful for detemining the likely quality and age/staleness of a batch. Leafly has a tool whereby you can search by terps/effects, but not all MC products make it onto the Leafly database, and their reviews seem to report quite inconsistent effects without a strong medical focus - "Dude, like, I'm sooo baked RN" seems to be the key reporting factor over on Leafly...
I don't know if that's at all helpful... I've found strain investigation to be quite labour-intensive, and have also found user reviews to report quite different effects to those which terp profiles might lead you to expect. Good luck!

Still some work to do but some more info on terpenes

https://medbud.wiki/strains/terpenes

 

[Nadiezdha]

I can't imagine the amount of work involved for @Muiredach , but being able to search strains by multiple terpenes would be an amazing feature. I'm already looking forward to the forthcoming filter feature on the strain database
I can't code or owt useful, but if you ever need a user to beta-test new features or do some data entry, I'd be very happy to help - it'd be great to be able to contribute in some tangible way.

 

[cornucopia]

thank you for your help, being able to search the terpenes is brilliant.
i have narrowed it down to 4 strains.
4C Labs DB 26% has 2 of the 4 terpenes but is out of stock at CB1 Medical, two pharmacies have the 22% version but i am not sure if it shares the same terpenes or how to go about asking CB1 to order it for me?
Auroa Pink diesel also has 2 but is out of stock at CB1.
Grow® moon rocks has 3 and is hopefully going to be in stock at CB1 soon.
Primican liberation lemon cake has 2 and is in stock at CB1

so i think i will wait for the moon rocks to come into stock, hopefully any day now.
