As @GrownHealth says, I was in the same position recently. I'd refused to take the antidepressants my GP offered so it just went on my record as having been 'discussed', and I couldn't provide conclusive evidence of having tried anything. The first clinic I applied to turned me down, but then...

Indeed it was an incredibly therapeutic hobby and I had a real love for the plants. I'd spend ages hanging out with them and enjoying their beautiful scents. I hope a time will come when we can resume our hobby without being persecuted. I'm looking forward to exploring the medical strains and...

Well, what a lovely voyage of discovery! :love: This is the first time I've ever bought cannabis in my life. Up until the bust I was a happy homegrower. So this is doubly surreal for me. Three months ago I had my house turned over by five police officers, my plants destroyed and my jars taken...

Yep, I'll be slobbering on the window pane. :ROFLMAO: The price drop is a pleasant surprise. It was already pretty good value at £10 I thought, but I won't say no.

Wooohooooooooo! I am now one of you! I haven't heard directly from Alternaleaf about the MDT but I got a payment request from Montu, so presumably that means I've been accepted. My magic meds should be arriving tomorrow morning. It still feels quite surreal to be honest, almost too good to be...

Aww, thank you!

Right, I'm now cautiously optimistic! After scraping together all the bits and bobs of medical evidence I've got, which still isn't much, Alternaleaf were happy enough with it to allow me an appointment with a doctor, which I had yesterday afternoon. He was lovely, and I felt he was on my side...

@GrownHealth 🙏 See, this is why this community is so valuable. I was feeling very low today but everyone here has been so supportive and made really useful suggestions. It really makes a difference.

@Dooby Doo Ah, that's very useful to know, thank you.

Thank you @cornucopia, that's good to know. Medicann may be next on the list if the current application doesn't work out.

Thank you @Dooby Doo, it's helpful just being able to sound off about it, so I appreciate you and the community here! You're right, the missing records relate to a change of GP, although it was a while ago. They can only find the records which are on their own system. I suspect that the records...

I thought I'd do another update as I'm having a frustrating time trying to make any progress. Dealing with my GP is like banging my head against a brick wall. They finally found a record of the major panic attack episode I had, but they're claiming that they haven't got any records for me prior...

Still waiting for my GP to find my medical records. But meanwhile I nearly fell over when I saw this, snapped at some traffic lights on my daily commute. It all feels very ... normalising.

Oh no, the last thing I needed was an excuse to buy more stuff at Vapefiend. 😂 This one might be outside my price range though to be honest, gorgeous though it is.

Another little update – not that it's very interesting but it might be useful for somebody else who's in my position. I put in a request for my Summary Care Record via the NHS app, because I was too scared to phone or go to my GP surgery in person. Waited a few days but got no reply. Plucked...

@williemed I agree, the Glass Charlie stems are beautiful. A bit too beautiful really, I couldn't decide whether I liked the sparkly black one or the red one best, so you can guess what happened. 😂 I've got the shorty ones with the single coloured glass ball – they are incredibly comfortable...

After using a Solo 2 daily for seven years (still going strong but I fancied trying something new) I upgraded to a walnut Tinymight 2 this year. Wow, that thing hits the spot! Other than the short battery life, I can't fault it. Oh, and as @williemed says, there's all the pretty glass baubles...

It is interesting what he says about the countries who legalise with masses of regulation, compared with Thailand which chose to go totally legal and then start adding the regulations afterwards. (All of it makes the UK feel quite a backward place, unfortunately.)

Oooh I'm really looking forward to being able to vape in front of friends and see what the reactions are. 😇 My medicine has been a secret for too long. Have you had any surprises when you found out who is positive about it and who isn't?

Welcome @Robotgirl . Nerding out is one of the great joys of life. And I do think that MC is the best way to de-stigmatise this amazing healing herb and pave the way to a change in the law eventually.
