Clinics Curaleaf® Clinic

[Darrell]

@Darrell I would recommend the banana gas.. I was dubious myself having seen some reviews but for me it’s good medicine, I prefer it to any bm strain I have access to & it’s cheaper for me.

The Banana Gas tasted and smelt indifferent, but the effects were powerful. So thanks for the recommendation-

The Purple Punch (Safricanna) lacked any kind of potency.

It’s a bit hit and miss until you find the strains / profiles that work for you. The Peace Naturals® GMO and ECSP hit harder than the banana gas with better aroma and taste profiles. The ANTG Rocky is newly available and has some good pedigree. Also ask to be transferred to the £5 per month access scheme. Good luck

I need some help to decide what to do regarding clinics and pharmacies. It’s easy to get confused as a new patient with the choices and options provided by each clinic / pharmacy and that’s sort of how I feel at the moment.

Currently with Curaleaf clinic and have just had an email from them confirming I can nominate any pharmacy that provides any curealeaf pharmacy formulary items. I’ve done a search on he MedBud beta formulary and selected available flowers / T30 / Hybrid/ Indica Hybrid. There are only a couple of additional flowers available elsewhere (doesn’t currently show at which pharmacies?) such as super boof and a couple of others at or below the £8.50g (my upper limit)

I’m happy with the clinical input which is important for me as I’m also under the care of a neurosurgeon and neurologist.

I pay £5 per month all in. I can select any flower upto T31 but having this removed at my 3 month review next week.

What I can’t quite work out is if I can only access a couple of additional flowers, is it worth nominating another pharmacy. Curaleaf pharmacy are clunky as hell but I’ve got my ordering dates lined up and building a surplus month on month. Am I missing something, are the discounts only on short dates and smalls or also the regular products? What are the pros and cons of nominating a pharmacy?

Hmm the MedBud Beta formulary is Curaleaf Pharmacy and not the clinic's formulary so may have Items you can not order and if you can see the OOS items on Curaleafs clinic formulary then they will I imagine be the extra products you can order and for sure a bit of work needs to be done to get the pharmacy formularies fully up to date as a lot of new products or products that have had a change of THC have become available recently .
Nominated an outside pharmacy I'd say is more for if you are not getting a satisfactory service but if you feel you are and are content with that then that is fair enough but using an outside pharmacy can be useful and in fact my clinic doesn't have a pharmacy so whilst it was alien to me at first I've soon got accustomed to it and for me it as improved my medical cannabis journey but the difference being you seem happy as you are where as I wasn't at the time .

As for discounts some will be the very same product that was available the day before for £20-£30 more in some cases so real savings but preference would be for the products to have a rrp drop so everyone can access them at cheaper prices but there are certainly decent products amongst them .

 

[MC Overgrow]

Thank you @GrownHealth , I’m exploring the nominated pharmacy option to get as wide a range of products as possible, save some £ and hopefully without disrupting my clinical care.

In the MedBud beta formulary I selected
All available flowers
All pharmacies
THC per pack (10g) 3000mg
Could only see a couple of items not available in the cura pharmacy formulary but couldn’t see which pharmacy? My apologies for confusing questions.

It’s that time of the month when I have to access my Curaleaf account to see what problems they have created for me to navigate (all I want to do is re order and perhaps change a couple of products and add some gummy’s) , simple stuff you would think but not for Curaleaf patients.

This months’ challenge, they have removed my full access to the formulary so I can only order the crap products. More time to be wasted sending emails to which they may respond and making calls to speak to someone who tells you to send an email, perfect circular system. I need a travel letter for Jan so will stay with these jokers until then and then I’m signing up elsewhere. I’ve been spoiled over the years as my BM suppliers have usually been acquaintances so I’ve never had to do the waiting around stuff but this is how it feels to be a patient of Curaleaf clinic. AVOID.

I’ve just found Curaleaf a company moto written by William s Burroughs:
"Delay is a rule in the junk business the man is never on time this is no accident".

 

[MC Overgrow]

I have a customer service contact at Curaleaf and when I email, their address shows as VIP. I’m not sure why this is but I have turned into a serial complainer since using this company.

Anyway I got an immediate response which was as useful as a chocolate teapot, they can’t see a problem at their end and I should have unrestricted access and they’ll raise a ticket. Same crap every month.

I fully empathise.

This sounds mentally draining and frustrating to say the least and it looks like you made the decision to leave so hopefully it's one last battle with them before finding a new clinic and hopefully they get their end sorted for you quickly so you don't spend the week back and forth with them to get your request sorted out.

Good track I like some of their music

 

[MC Overgrow]

So apparently Curaleaf doesn’t know how Curaleaf operates, what a bonkers response:

“When we give patients access to the formulary it allows them to order what we have, however, something I have just found out today is that not everything we have is stock or available is selectable to the patient when you have that access”

It reminded me of this advert



Going for a lie down as these idiots are making my head hurt.

The same thing happened to me after a recent zoom call and a paid sub to reduce costs; The formulary of products amazingly shrank and I was only left with expensive (which I can't afford Curaleaf flos) The very things that were brought up during the meeting were not addressed. I did get a cheap WPT, and treated myself to Qwest Morning Sun good which were actually offered and good, especially the latter for me.

They’ve manually updated my details to change to the products I want but Curaleaf are a complete car crash of a company. Their staff can’t even comprehend how their own formulary works so what chance does a patient have? I ordered 40g of the morning sun last month and it is an effective medication I can’t believe how dry it is, you can crush it to dust in your fingers, don’t even need to grind it. Will be trying to order the following as my final Curaleaf order:
Delgaty cmog T27
AP BJY
Eastcann platinum mints

No discounts, no price reductions, formulary which isn’t actually the formulary, staff who don’t even understand their own system, clinicians that fail to follow through with agreed actions.

That's a terrible service and so frustrating for you and any other Patient who might be experiencing these issues.
I can only suggest taking it up with Management at Curaleaf and if that fails just change Clinics mate, no one should have to suffer with issues like this, it reminds me of my first clinic. Hope you get sorted in one way oor another

 

[MC Overgrow]

The admin guy I deal with is a diamond and is trying his best to help me and has manually fixed the problem but most patients don’t get a dedicated named individual. I have now raised it as a complaint. I am a CQC registered manager myself for a healthcare provider and I wanted to give Curaleaf some time as I am also a new patient and perhaps it was a lack of understanding on my part. However, when the staff confirm by email that they themselves have to get tech support to understand how their own formulary works it is no longer a safe service in my opinion. One more order, one more travel letter and that’s it i am done with Curaleaf and will be escalating my concerns to CQC, once I get Curaleaf half assed response. Fully pissed off now.

I've been there where a clinic just doesn't feel like it's supporting you properly, sorry to hear you're having difficulties at the moment but hopefully it's the start of getting to a better place with it all

Thanks @Lank72, they’ve tipped me over the edge today so my minds made up, can’t be dealing with a new problem every month. I will start looking into the options which I have avoided until now.

Should put this on the music thread but it’s another one dedicated to Curaleaf and how I’m feeling today…

Agreeing with your verdict of a 'car crash company',but they are obviously successful as a business. Enjoying the 'Morning sun' due to sleep issues. All med bud flowers are very dry. Was also thinking of switching clinics,but paid for year sub. All good wishes.
