When I first got prescribed It was so exiting I used to wait for the postman.
It is still ok but now I have realised it is so expensive for quality flower.
I will not pay more than £8 50 anymore

Agreed with most of the points in the video, but for me locally most BM is about £6/g, typically £160-180 an ounce - so medical is generally much more expensive.

I can go see the plants, I know what medium they're grown in etc. - so I think the whole 'medical vs. BM' debate often comes down to how good your local/internet plugs are.

I also find I use much more via medical than I do BM, my medical maximum per month is currently 120g, with BM I often get away with 2oz/56g. In general my medical usage varies between about 80-110g per month via medical dependent on simply how fresh or dead the flower is I receive.

I want to stay legal, but on cost alone I really should go straight back to the black market.

I used to sort myself out but that’s not currently an option but like I said for the added bonuses that medical comes with I’m not too upset

Local BM is £150 oz apparantly not long ago some rural uk areas faced £300 oz prices for bushweed. They benefit the most prices halved for medical and delivered.

Hello mate, thanks for sharing, finding similar myself, a bit cheaper on medical, and was worried it wouldn't be as good, but it's just as good or better in some cases. Deffo agree that the stress and worry that goes away with having a legal prescription is a big win too

Well noted. I have definitely seen my consumption increase with medical flower via vaping compared to when I smoked BM cannabis. I don’t want to smoke anymore and I now much prefer to vape legally but the increased consumption now means cannabis is unfortunately a bill I have to budget for monthly. My current allowance is 60g, I was offered to have a review for high patient allowance at Mamedica® which is 70g+ but I couldn’t realistically sustain a higher prescription amount
