Intros Hey Everyone

[Twig]

Afternoon all, so glad I've stumbled across this place!

Been self medicating for years until I found I could do it legally a few months ago. I've been with Releaf but having spend the past couple of hours reading here I think I'll be moving to Alternaleaf. The choice of medication being the biggest factor there I think.

A bit about me, I'm in my mid 40s here now and had my first joint at 17. Since then I've smoked it, eaten it, vaped it, grown it (got arrested for it!) made hash's, made oils and made butters.

It's only been the odd time that I've stopped using cannabis for a bit that I realised how much it helps me mentally. That's why I went the legal route, to get access to medication that will actually help me rather than whatever I can get my hands on.

I look forward to becoming a part of your community here, thanks for having me.

Twig.

Hello @Twig and welcome to a lovely community! A similar tale to my own but im 20 years older, but made the same decision after a lifetime of paranoia!
Ask away re strains etc we are all here to help each other. I started with Releaf but left them for CB1 Medical after just 2 weeks as they would not let me choose my buds and capped me at 40g a month, moved to cb1 medical (free for a year of you move to them) now i get upto 60g a month but can choose what i want. Will be interesting to see if Releaf have improved.

Welcome @Twig and you have a similar background canna wise to my own and great to see you've seen a clinic that'd suit you better as you don't want to be paying out to be frustrated ,also many of us here are in a similar boat after self medicating for years but at the same time some have never used cannabis so it's good to share our experience of the beautiful plant with them, Once again welcome .

Welcome @Twig
To echo what @Moon said If its range your after, Montu (Alternaleafs Pharmacy) has been quite poorly stocked past few weeks (esp decent affordable flower) so I'd go with CB1 Medical, esp as they are free 1st year transfer + you'll save £120/yr

Thanks for the warm welcome!
And the advice from a couple of you to look at CB1, they're a local company to me too so I think that's where I'll swap over to. Releaf have been crap really as I just get whatever strains they decide which I haven't found very helpful.
Though if not for them I wouldn't be here with you guys today so there's an upside! I found you when googling the strain they just gave me, Citroli from 4C Labs.
Anyway I'm enjoying my time reading around the site here, some good information and helpful bits I've learned so far.

Every cloud has a silver lining and it's great to have you here with us all and the strain they have just prescribed you I don't think any of us have had this new one yet so hope you enjoy it and if you need any help with anything just ask as you'll of seen we're a friendly bunch

Edit . Also good to the sites visibility improving on search engines so thanks for that feedback.

Very welcome mate.
Honestly (I'm a patient there, not paid or free meds or anything sadly lol) if a patient arrives here not happy with their clinic - I'll advise them CB1 because its free and if it doesn't suit, plenty of others at all price points

Also @Twig you can do all stuff online via their app or portal - 1 or 2 video calls, then phone calls after that, depending upon the consultant/patient/etc.

If you move Twig, do so right after you recieve a releaf script, that way you will be good to go on new clinic when next due. This thread may help, it describes my move:

Clinics Thread 'Knowing what you know now...'

7th Dec, 2024

I was wondering what clinic people recommend who have been using med for a while and have moved clinics, hindsight you have experienced. I am with releaf but they do not appear to offer prescriptions to use elsewhere and will not discuss what they have available with me. Although they are very quick and efficient I need to have some choice to find what is right for me, so may look into moving clinics in the coming months. I would say in hindsight releaf is probably one of the best clinics for someone new to med can who has not experienced it before, but for someone used to it it’s...
