My autistic friends are prescribed medical cannabis to help with things like low mood, anxiety, feelings of overwhelm, pain, and sensory issues. The medical cannabis can help relieve the distress caused by such issues. My friends have their prescriptions not directly because of being autistic...

How did you get on with this? I know it's been a little while, but I wanted to add that I had a similar situation which was resolved by applying with CB1. A couple of clinics I contacted seemed very unclear on what they actually meant by "two previous treatments." Like you, I have a diagnosis of...

New device is excellent for me - granular control, able to set for no or minimal exhale. Really interesting to hear how different other people's tastes are. I think I'm getting most benefit from the cannabinoids that evaporate at lower end of the temperature spectrum. It's remarkable how both...

Thanks everyone for replying. I realise I should have been a bit clearer - none of the devices I've used have had an incremental temperature setting - they've all just been "low, medium, high." The problems with burning have been on the lowest available temp settings. I realise that what I need...

Hey, so I want to try to find out if other people can relate to my experience. I'm an ex-smoker of both tobacco and cannabis. I've not used cannabis for a long time but I've rediscovered it through a prescription after developing a chronic health condition. I've been using sublingual oil, and...

Hi @whitebeach So sorry for not replying at the time. I've been away offline for a bit, getting things straightened out. How are you? I'm using mainly a sublingual oil, 10/10 balanced, and a balanced flower in a vapouriser.

Hey, just wanted to update here, thanks everyone for your support and kindness and for checking in with me. It means a lot. The appointment went well, I've recieved my prescription and have begun using my medication. CB1 were welcoming, helpful, very understanding, and there was none of the fuss...

Thanks for checking in, friend. I have an appointment with CB1 this week. Fingers crossed, but I think it will be okay. They've been really helpful and understanding.

Thanks all - it's been really helpful to join and have a place to chat a bit. Making progress!

Thanks @R3d4 - you're right, it is easy to overthink it, isn't it? It's hard being on the cusp of accessing something that might actually help. Tense, you know? This has been really nice, though. Really supportive, and I'm particualrly grateful for the recommendation to CB1, as they are being...

Thanks, I hope so too. It's hard to be certain, and it's hard not to feel like I might have the rug pulled from under me again - this conditionl has turned my life upside down and inside out, it's hard to feel confident in things. But I recognise that that's the effects of stress more than...

Heard back from CB1, they've helped me to realise that despite the fact there are no prescription medications available, that doesn't mean I've not tried anything. I've tried all kinds of things - exercise regimes, over the counter meds, diets, and of course commercial CBD oil itself. Other...

Yeah, I think so - I'll let you know what happens of course. It's amazing to have found something that does give me relief of symptoms, but it's early days and I'm stumbling my way through so far, it would be so much better with a clinician on side to advise. Still, you're right, there's...

Hey thanks both, yeah I've had a bit of back and forth with Curaleaf and they're really good so far with personal responses and encouraging replies. I'm pushing ahead, have put in the order for the medical record (have to do it manually because am in Scotland) and like I say, curaleaf do seem...

Kind of just posting to vent a little, though any advice or insights would of course be welcome. Moving through the process of trying to get assessed for MC, I keep coming up against the requirement to have tried 'two conventional treatments.' Chronic Fatigue, the condition that I (and many...
