Intros GreenSeer Hello

[GreenSeer]

Hi, newbie intro (edit- big intro) – From West Mids. On second prescription now (mostly a vape cart guy now), prior to that… daily smoker for couple decades. Steady suppliers… Spent a lot over the decades and recent years. Lessened my purchasing over time, life etc since covid period ended. Didn’t we all just consume more more more in that time, was hard to reacquaint back to normality after that! Then discovered an online source for THC vapes, edibles (and bud for special occasions) illegal of course in 2023. 2 years and a bit of orders, all good. Too good, if that makes sense. Affecting work, family etc… behaviour changes, reclusiveness too sometimes, turning everything down to enjoy my purchases in private (as a big secret). Then, over time, couple of bud-only mates, sceptical of my non stop THC vape pen purchasing, getting through ten a month… raised something with me, which is odd for smoking mates to even say or stick their neck out right?

“What#s actually in them though, is it just Delta or is it a mix of who knows what, with THC amongst that……” so I ignored, it came up again softly a couple of time, I wouldn’t listen, and over time it ate away at me a bit as, have to say, over the 2 years, I have had mostly branded vapes that I trust were the real thing and imported from the US as stated. Some probably were. However, in that, I have been like Gollum with the Ring yeah, when the parcel has come, opened up, made in China (a couple of times)? What? “You said these were Runtz, from a Californian dispensary, the first one doesn’t work and the packaging all looks opened individually… are these fake?” … “Course not bro!)”……… And then, thoughts of 1- well ive paid for it and I;m gonna consume, but, 2- holy crap, what’s in this is there a bit of some kinda spice type synthetic my heart shouldn’t be like this off THC and the aggression too, the headaches? Damnm screw that! So yeah I have had batches that just did not hit like THC at all. Aggression, arseyness, no work done (WFH)… not a good sign. Pulled the plug.

Joined with my clinic. Here I am on second prescription… with legit genuine condition to qualify with. Not so much into bud any more, I save that for special occasions. Just the vapes these days. I’m not saying its better at all, each to their own. Just for me, around family, discretion, work… when I have to go in, just anywhere I go outdoors… and all legal, wow, I wish I was younger! I can even go on holiday with this w t f! These are the times! Paranoia about purchasing and consumption… GONE. That is another thing. I have had to lie, to their faces… loved ones I mean, about my consumption. For years. And they knew. But I maintained the lie. Guilty, sure. But hey. So I “came out” , in relation to the ahem THC, and took control of the narrative, never felt better. The honest, the open ness and my clear boost in love and attentiveness toward them while medicated is now natural and harmonious, when, in the past, THC usage (which can cause friction in some families and life situations / relations / culture etc) is open and accepted for me now.

Thinking back though over the decades, add up all the coordination by text, all the car parks and sticking out, all the “I’ll be there in 5’s” which were never 5… all the let downs, all the paranoia, all the to be honest….absolute scumbags that most dealers are. It’s mostly all gangs these days and the dealer I was getting vapes from did things like rohyp—l (im deliberately not typing that word) and just wow, what f----- age is this, where some utter c--- can diversify to sell that amongst everything else, knowing… what it will be used for. F that guy. I digress…. All the close calls. All the generally, just looking really odd, like wrong place wrong time pickups… gone. All the times ive put those meets ahead of stuff I had on. All the diversions when cashpoint A and B are offline and driving around, ALL THE DRIVING. You have all been there. No more. So glad.

Hate the vape prices of medical… but, on the flipside, zero fear possessing or using in public now. I know whats in the Vape. No more dodgy car park meets etc as said in essay above. And I have learned my lessons from the past- when it becomes unhealthy engage,ent with THC (too much etc and from dodgy sources) and I almost became reliant (used to wake up with vape in my hand, or it would be on pillow in the morning-) those days are gone.

Not some F up here, but, as someone over the years (im in 40s) who has always self-medicated with black market stocks,

Could have put loads more in but who cares. There is plenty enough in this I know it is long, but you didn’t have to read this far did you, hope some of it resonated, but, I get the feeling if I said it, so will have plenty before me. Plus I am medicated, WFH and getting paid to write this ;o) I am just glad to be “medical”, legal, and out in the open.

It is all good. Happy to be here. All the best.

@GreenSeer Welcome! Lots of info, advice and even daft banter here if you want. It does indeed feel good to get away from BM! I grew and consumed for 53 years, coming up to 3 with MC, the quality is improved from 2018!

Ps... as far as websites go, MC aside, it is actually really impressive. Fair play to the owner / developer, seriously.

You said it all. You took me back to 1989 and all the scumbags since, all the time wasted and folk not showing or showing hours later. but. we'd still be waiting! all those hourse later!!

Thanks for your story and it hits on so many fronts. As you said a big part is being legit and not having to worry anymore. Once i was legit. My partners atittude shifted 10 fold! She's cool with me getting 2 ounce a month! Because a doctor medically prescribed it as a needed amount.

Thats right my friend, all that time wasted, all the close calls, all the absolute BS off those utter c words, being treated like crap not a customer. Theres a hundred things more. 1989 you, 1997 me, fast forward all that time, and a big one for me since going medical in Feb is not having to be face to face with gang kids driving souped up cars with untouchable god-like attitudes. Black market is this, that and whatever, but, one thing it is also is straight "cringe". The kids I would deal with were straight c--nty lines types, Eberechi Eze looking lads, never any eye contact, and sometimes an unnecessary but staged flash, like a firearm equivalent of Sharon Stone's blink and youll miss it moment. So here is me, paying for the goods, zero maintenance, zero issue, pay n go type, and yet you show me that. To show off? To warn? Either is cringe cringe cringe.

Sure there's always been gang involvement, but where I live, you would never see it, not in the open. Now, I will see it outside my house multiple times of day. And again with the same types of kid, same attitude. Same types of overdone, non-discreet cars. Ah well whatever.

Guess there's a karma. For all the times I parked, as asked to, outside the same house, weekly, for years while being sat outside to pickup for up to an hour depending on the "suppliers" BS..... and feeling sorry for the poor elderly couple who clocked us every time and sat watching, every time ... as the suppplier then rocks up loud as, big expensive car, blocks their drive, spits out the window etc ........ now its me years later, whos house has been GREEN LIT by more than one supplier (they all sell way way way more than THC), who has this happening daily outside... cant do much about it, and cest la vie. Sure hits home when its yourself thats for sure, you go to put the bin out, or go out to drive off and well, this is awkward, again. Sod it.

I digress. Back to your reply. Well done to us both mate. We came out, made it legit now we reap the benefits of medical, legally too. And yeah, your partner's opinion soon switched when the legitimacy of the treatments and their legality is assured. Funny that, isnt it. The same thing happened with me, multiple times over. As for winning people over, sure does. In my cases, they range from acceptance (without bringing it up to discuss with me, like a neutralised taboo if that makes sense) through to interest and support.

I have even crossed the line to discuss with two work colleagues who can be trusted who themselves are seriously looking into medical for themselves, and.... these two are people who have never ever consumed any THC form of medicine in their lives (but have valid conditions). That alone is a random cross section of where we are in time now, the wall of stigma with many is crumbled or falling.

Peace out ChroniclyChronic and all MedBud.
