Eligibility for Medical Cannabis (Now Approved!)

[Jumpysuperset]

Hi, I am new to the medical cannabis world. I have suffered with insomnia and anxiety for many years. I’ve been to my GP about this over the years but was always reluctant to take medications. I have recently been prescribed zolpidem 10 mg, sertraline 50mg and diazepam 2mg. I also had zopiclone 7.5 mg prescribed previously last month which has now stopped. I have also had counselling for this in the past. It’s also noted throughout my GP care summary, issues with anxiety, tiredness and difficulty sleeping since 2006 onwards.

I applied to CB1 Medical and sent them an e-mail asking about my eligibility at the same time as applying. I was advised in response to my e-mail that as id recently only started medication to wait a few months before applying. However I had already applied and was accepted for an appointment with one of the specialist doctors after submitting my GP care summary to them.

I’m just kind of confused now if I should cancel the appointment and reapply in a few months or as I’ve been given an appointment after submitting my GP care summary does that mean they have looked and assessed me as being eligible?

If anyone has any experience with this and could shed any light on the situation that would be great.
Thank you

Don't hesitate to ask if you need to know owt about strains ,we love talking about strains here

Yeah I may need some recommendations for my next order, just need something to ease anxiety and induce sleep!

Have a look here, for me anything termed 'daytime' is the anxiety reducer / mood lifter for work, etc.

Looking to gather a list of strains which are good for daytime, in particular for medicating during work, where mood boosting effects are there (even if subtle) but with minimal sedating effects

So far Curaleaf High Silver has been the best for this for me.

Appreciate it will differ for people based on the conditions being treated but any thoughts/experience gratefully received, and may be of benefit to others to know about

Khiron Hindu Kush is the go to for everyone due to the genetics ignore the THC count its not always what defines a strain.

Landrace Indica
Smell and taste is around 2% terpenes
Half decent price

Treatment plan officially authorised, awaiting pharmacy payment and then we are in business. Hopefully here by the end of the week!

I'm at nearly 5 months and it's still surreal, so know where you're coming from there!

I’m sure they know, is there any smell from the package?

 

[GrownHealth]

The package has no smell. Well it's not meant to anyway . Just looks like any other package the ones I've received.

Nah, tubs and bags are sealed good, my posties don't have a clue, just that it's medicine

Mine knows and wants to try...

I'll ask my postie soon when she lands

She for sure knows.
It's like you can just tell when they hand it over

Awesome news on getting signed up with Cardiff cannabis clinic. I hope they get you onto the right track going forward.

I have seen people have less stress getting morphine at the pharmacy than I see some patients go though on medical cannabis

They were honestly brilliant, couldn’t fault a single step with them. They sent off my prescriptions to the pharmacy yesterday afternoon so hoping I hear back from the pharmacy for payment at some point tomorrow!
