Clinics Could someone please tell me which clinic to transfer too

[MedPatient#86]

Can you please tell me what clinic you are with and how the process works because hardly any of the products that are displayed on MedBud are available to me,even when I can clearly see it's in stock and people from other clinics are being prescribed the same medication.

There are lots of different strains available on here but I don't even look anymore!

because I am disappointed everytime that it is time to renew my prescription or they are going to change it to something that they believe is a suitable alternative, 9 x out of 10 without even consulting you after the prescription has been written,when items are not available they don't ask you what you would like instead,you just get told what they have replaced it with.

If I would like to change the current medication I have been prescribed i need to have an appointment every time and there is not a great deal available for them to perscribe from the formulary platform.

henWell that is what I am told.

I don't see why you shouldnt be able to.

he flowers and the leaf or plant matter in whatever it comes in. look on the website and tchoose the medication and then tell the Dr at your appointment.

Or at least be more involved in the decision process at the very least.

Could someone someone please point me in the right direction and give me some advice.

The amount it is costing me and the service I have received.

Massive medication delays, prescribed medications not being available by the time they send the paper copy to the to dispensary is then no longer available.

Quality of medications does vary massively from one dispensary to the next and considering the price tag the presentation of the flowers and the leaf/plant matters and the quality of some of the products definitely didn't live up to the expectations I had considering the (Grade) of it.

It often makes me consider,going back to getting it from local vendors and not putting myself through the stress of sitting in the support window waisting my life trying to just get I have paid for or something else instead

I would be grateful for any advice you could provide me with.

Yes buddy this is what exactly what happened, I called them first spoken to a lovely lady and she just calmed assured me that everything will be alright and assisted me with emails and just wait for appointment next week then I had call after like 1 hour or two hours and asked me if I would like my appointment for today “ yesterday “ and I accepted the call @14:50 and as I explained I above I couldn’t see the person I am talking with beside knowing it’s a male and the name of showing I told him I am quite anxious and stressed out nervous but he didn’t care about me, he asked what strain and how much I told him it depends on what’s available for treatment and he asked about the allowance so again I explained from my understanding from recent prescription is 60g 20g silver haze 20g OG Kush and allowed me as OOS it should be 20g Cosmic Cream but only 10g was available and he went and said CB1 Medical only stick strain up to 29%THC no more than that and he was rushing me to select what flower from the list which made me more confused anxious stressed out as I requested advise and he went and said regarding tolerance for higher strains which I explained I only found this cosmic Cream accidentally and just was trying and my first order was December 2024 and January now 2025 and I find it to work fine so far and he just rushed me I couldn’t even select the third product and just said select it yourself and wait till Tuesday to hear back from CB1 as it went to the panel etc. So I don’t what’s going on and when I sign to CB1 app I only see prescription bending with 2 items cost about £260 something like that. For CannFX Cirrus Hybrid T28 (28% THC, <1% CBD) Dosi Cake 20g

Green Karat PV T28 (28% THC, <1% CBD) Pavé S1 Medical Cannabis Flower It should be 20g but it showing 1 unit 10g and both medications awaiting MTD review

Sounds like he was in a mega rush to me which is not on as it was more an onboarding than any sort of consultation but if your content to proceed with them it looks like you have 20g Dosi Cake 28%THC and 10g Pave S1 28%THC on order to me as this totals £260 and it should just be a case of adding High Silver and OG Kush if that is what you require and as for the Pave and Dosi Cake we have them both here and are pleased by them so for strong flower you look like you've got that one covered and to be quite honest you will not find many at above 29%THC but its not nice to feel restricted.

Edit to Add I didn't realise it was 30 mins but all the same still not a pleasant experience you describe .

I just joined CB1 Medical and they explained my formulary would be restricted based on THC% also reduced my allowance by 10g . Got something from 4C Labs that has never seen a death bubba from them and some really bad smalls.

All that glitters is indeed not gold, mostly just shit dipped in glitter.

Why would they reduce your allowances?

 

[MigraineMan]

Why would they reduce your allowances?

Apparently even though they said different on the initial consult, they have a hard limit of 90g. I was on 100g at Curalef

So that's a clinic limit ? Because I know of many patients now who need more than that ,not all the time but often and I imagine we need a record of which clinic have which limits as I've heard of a 60gram limit in the past from a prescriber ,
The fact they have reduced it by 10g also gives you no scope if you need more all off a sudden if symptoms worsen and the need arises

No idea as during the consultation he said 20g of dosi cake 20g the pave s1 and to select the other 20g later on which I’ve no idea how but it’s Friday now and I am just still overwhelmed with what happened yesterday late afternoon so it nothing can do now till next week but those technicians or doctors should be trained better not all of them just some who needs such training in this sectors with people mental health and other complex conditions mentally or physically.

Indeed why they reduced his allowance? They need to think of what this will do to the patient.

It is a lot to do with what the consultant is confidant with as I understand it and as they gather more experience in the MC sector some evolve with seeing patients being treated successfully with different amounts and different conditions too and as they gather experience like this they are more open to treating other suitable patients with similar treatment , that's my understanding anyway

Sounds like a rubbish doctor to me. Patients should come first.
I have seen 5 medical cannabis doctors and they have all been good and really nice

About the same here in total and thankfully they've all been positive and understanding some quicker than others but all good experiences.

Honestly, given the current state, they can probably reduce it to 10g so I can keep up appearances and I'll go bck to the dark web for what I actually need, that works, that is as labelled and that costs less to boot

So that's a clinic limit ? Because I know of many patients now who need more than that ,not all the time but often and I imagine we need a record of which clinic have which limits as I've heard of a 60gram limit in the past from a prescriber ,

On the initial consultation doctor said if I have proof that I get 100g then the MDT should approve, a week later after I've already left Curaleaf and sent proof that for over two years I have been o 100g a month, get a call saying they won't approve and 90g is their max at CB1 Medical. SO yes apparently a clinic limit.

CB1 Medical told me the max was 60g, they could go to 90g, but only with a full team MDT review if i requested more.

Sounds like they on some drive to reduce their perceived risk, business reasons. Nothing to reduce risk for patients. Jump ship folks.

I'd say in @Moon case if he wanted his allowance raising it would just take up to a week to confirm I'd of thought as a full MDT review sounds daunting but it's no extra effort from the patient I'd expect apart from giving a reason for the increase.
I see what your saying about perceived risk and it does look like something like that is at play .

I am fine on 60g per month, in fact once i dial down the strains can probably drop to 40/50, so i am fine on a 60 limit. Releaf had the same rule of 60g but gave me 40g. There has to be a level of responsibility or it could affect the whole MC scene, many would question how someone can smoke more than 2g a day, i know we can, I have in my youth And yes an MDT review just means getting more than 1 doctor to review the case and agree on an outcome, like you say within a week.

No reason for me to jump ship, I could not be happier with a clinic than with CB1 Medical

I used to think a bit like that about smoking so much in a day but have talked since to people treating multiple serious conditions and it soon expanded my thinking on this as I was viewing it from my own experience and you have to balance how much of say 100g per month may be effective as we are constantly having to change strains .

Just to say advice was for everyone reading not any specific case. They are no longer good for me.
