Cheers for relaying that back to us as it's not ideal and many medications may never get sighted by patients when fully available to them.

"We’ve updated our pricing to make care more accessible for all patients.
At Curaleaf Clinic, we believe access to medical care should be straightforward and flexible. Here’s what’s new:
SAVE with our Annual Plan
• Pay £75 upfront if you register by 4th May 2025!
• £100 upfront from 5th May 2025 onwards"
Above e-mail from Curaleaf. But I can't see anywhere in the portal to make the payment and switch from my £10/month subscription the the annual plan. Is it only available for new registrations? Seems a tad unfair.

It does seem unfair but wouldn't surprise me at the same time if it was an incentive for new registrations .
I'd definitely contact them when they reopen and state your case as you have here and see if they can enrol you on that pricing scheme because as they say themselves

Hopefully it's just an oversight on the portal as it's only fair you should have access at these rates.

Unless it's fucked you up, don't say it's fucked you up and you'll be fine 
Seriously though, don't sweat it, if all is good then say that, if it isn't then raise any concerns
If you want a certain strain tell them that, if you think you need a higher limit or a different format, tell them that
My experience has been that there's nothing to worry about and honesty and being clear about what you need is best

If you tolerated your first prescription well enough, ask them to add a strain selector to your online portal so from month 3 onwards you'll have some choice/flexibility in strains.
If you have a particular strain in mind you'd like to try for month 2, just let them know what it is. Try to show them you've done your research and have a clinical reason for thinking it'll work for you.
Other than that, just try to write down some notes of what you want to tell them about your first month including:
1) What did it do for your symptoms/what didn't it do you'd like
2) Did you have any adverse events
3) Are there any reasons you did not like the strains you had (taste/smell/etc)
4) Calculate your usage over the month to help inform them of whether your prescription is the appropriate size and appropriate balance of day/night strains

Spot on thank you... Even though I'm 30 years on and off, this medical journey is so fascinating and I'm learning so much so quickly ! Still clueless currently lol ! But I decided starting a cannabis journal of strains was a good idea so I bought a journal and have started from 1st prescription.. Great advice and is in line with how I'm currently thinking and approaching Apt No'2...

So I've just had my 2nd appointment with Curaleaf.. I was advised that due to the strains previously prescribed not working for me, that it might be that I have a high dependency and that street cannabis might be the better option ?? Am I dependant?!? The last time I had two weeks off smoking anything was prior to my first prescription 4 weeks ago lol, so when my first script arrived, you can imagine how disappointed I was when the strains did little for me ! High dependency ?!?
I have been prescribed this time Zookies, Gorilla Glue and Wedding Pop to try which I'm a whole lot happier to try this time but I feel somewhat let down considering this was appointment NO'2 and I'm already being advised that they may not be able to help me as I'm requesting top end THC (which was never the aim). The only aim being switching my brain off and getting some beauty sleep each night...!
Time to change clinics ??
Which is the best budget friendly clinic to consider ?

Mate I wouldn't even pay for that script if I was you and it's not your fault they want to ply you with their own brand goods that many patients avoid although some do like them and if I was in your position I would move pronto to somewhere you can choose freely from like Alternaleaf, Integro or CB1 Medical and to be honest I'm pretty aghast at what they have said to you .
I'd try one of three clinics I've suggested above and CB1 would be the easiest as they deal with the SCR but each will offer what you need service wise I'd assume .

Jump clinic mate that's absolute bullshit
Curathief at it again, their stuff is generally dry, tatty, muted, and they are scummy as a company, get shot of them

Sorry, am I understanding you correctly? Your general medical council registered consultant advised that because you might be dependent on a drug that your best course of action would be to source that drug on the black market?
Well, it goes without saying that if that were true it would be a serious breach of GMC standards, a breach of duty of care, a breach of the hippocratic oath, as well as potentially conspiracy to facilitate illegal procurement of class B drugs...
I'm hoping you've dearly misunderstood the consultant's advice?
Curaleaf themselves have strains in their formulary from their own pharmacy with around 50% more THC than the strains you were likely started off with, so if their rule is "anyone not affected by T21 must have dependency issues", it boggles the mind they they offer T28 at all.
I'm thinking that all the consultant was trying to get across is that it might be common for people to perceive medical cannabis as being weak in effect if they're switching from black market cannabis to medical cannabis very suddenly. I don't think that's necessarily true as I find it unlikely that the average street dealer is achieving high THC %s, unless it's the fact that street strains have little BUT THC that makes them seem stronger, etc. But I think it's more likely that the switch from smoking to vaping might be responsible for that general effect because most people smoke black market but vape medical.
So they were maybe just saying "well, let's not put you straight up to high THC %s straight away, let's see if maybe you get used to vaping the medical first", which might be a fair enough clinical approach to take at this early stage. We don't automatically rush to the stronger end of options in other medical approaches, so you can see why doctors would be reticent to do it that way.
I'm enjoying the Find Wedding Pop Triangle as we speak and I'm enjoying it a lot so I'll probably stick the Curaleaf T24 version on my script next month. GG4 I didn't enjoy, haven't tried Zookies, but hopefully they work better for you!
It's totally up to you, it's a private market, most clinics will be happy to take a new patient that's already vetted by another clinic.
No worries and when we see this sort of thing mentioned in the forum we'd pretty much all advise the same mate and good luckApplication filled out and sent... Fingers crossed to hear from CB1 Medical in the morning ! Thanks for the help @GrownHealth

I remember as clear as day as I nearly stopped him to say "do you mean tolerance" but obviously they're the professional so you don't question it ?!
I also said in my first consultation that Sativas like Haze don't do anything for me and then was prescribed High Silver in my first prescription?!
I'm not going to collect that script and will wait for CB1 Medical... I hope tomorrow is a better day lol !

Hey mate, not sure if you know anyone else with Curaleaf? Not that I'm collecting it anyway but the pharmacy portal just crashes saying site can't be reached ? Paranoia kicking in and wondered if it had something to do with my application with CB1 Medical lol ?!

I wouldn't of thought so mate as they have a duty of care and couldn't just cast you out and it's highly likely a Curaleaf problem but if anyone see's this here that's currently with Curaleaf we'd be grateful if you could confirm if the portal is down .
They have a duty of care until you are discharged mate

Hi everyone i got my prescription today and as a newbie I've manged to download the pdf although not very android friendly I managed to read all the letter and have been prescribed Glory Glue oil and 20g of Lunar Circus which I've not long been doing a bit of research etc and have read a couple of reviews which are mixed but not disheartened as very interested to see what the difference is like to the 9lb Hammer my good friend handed me today!
Really keen to try Sativa as its always the heavy hitters I get hit with literally tho never have any complaints anyway it would seem like the portal is working by going through the encryption email service and like I say this is all brand new to me and so far so good
Take care all and speak soon
