Intros Hi, new. Just started medical cannabis.

[Amac321]

Hi all, just started treatment one week , no real effects. Maybe dose too low. 10/10 THC and CBD , oil and flower.

 

[GrownHealth]

Evening and welcome @Amac321 and the 10:10 oil is mild by all accounts but the stronger T25:C25 is available too to try as you get used to the 10;10 but sorry to hear you are getting no real effects and if the community can help with you trying to get the right strains for your symptoms members are only to willing to help with advice of what worked for them

 

[Amac321]

Thank you for the reply, yea mainly for , anxiety ,depression , low mood, mind never stops, ADHD. The flower was Aurora® equiposa. 10:10. Oil no effect, flower slightly tired. Any suggestions , I’m with CB1 Medical so likely have to go back through consultant to change or increase strength.

You sound like you have a similar condition to myself and I try and use something in the morning like

https://medbud.wiki/strains/find/t18/

Curaleaf® T21 High Silver

Tasting of spice, skunk, and citrus, Super Silver Haze has a unique flavour profile. Lemon notes are left over after smoking a bowl of flower.

MedBud.wiki

Hexacan® HEXA01 T22 Mango Cross

It is produced indoors under a controlled environment and displays a terpene-rich and dominant mango aroma.

MedBud.wiki

These are usually available with CB1 medical and are really beneficial to me as they don't make me tired in the day but let my mind work at a good pace but still mildly relaxing if you understand what I mean ,the Hexacan® Mango is a bit more uplifting than the High silver These strains can get me to mid afternoon usually.

In the afternoon I'll tend to use a bit more relaxing strain like

4C Labs JFG T23 Jet Fuel Gelato

MedBud is a 100% independent organisation tracking theUK medical cannabis industry with impartiality.

MedBud.wiki

This was brilliant for me with my symptoms and has just come back into stock after a long time .

For night time I need something potent and tend to use things like

Green Karat RO T29 Runtz OG

Runtz OG is flush with thick, sweet resin that makes the strain look, smell, and feel potent, especially in concentrates.

MedBud.wiki

Aurora® Pedanios T20 L.A. Confidential

L.A. Confidential's powerful laziness is often accompanied by sleep an hour or two after consumption. Negative effects may include cotton mouth, dry eyes, paranoia, dizziness, or headaches, especially with higher doses.

MedBud.wiki

I personally find the Runtz Og really helps at any time of day but helps with sleep too
Others find the L.a. confidential to be a good sleep med.

This is an example of what would work for me with similar symptoms to what you describe

 

[Amac321]

Thankyou very much for taking the time to respond. I must suggest to the medical team,however I’m not sure if they will allow me to jump up the strengths immediately but as I said previously the oil had no effect and the flower minimal. I have been using the Pax 3 for the flower. Is it common to have little effect or as you suggested the strength is low.Hopefully my script can be changed easy enough.

Most of the flower I mentioned is THC22% and less and this is not considered high but I would also suggest the Equiposa you have was not really effective for my wife and very mild and pretty poor quality and you may find they will allow you a stronger flower for sleep but there are plenty available below 25% which is where I imagine they may draw the line if they restrict you as you get used to Medical Cannabis but if you have previously used Cannabis like a lot of us you may find them a bit more receptive to asking for stronger meds but do bare in mind most medical canna is 19%+ and most people consider that low THC.

Suppose a lot depends on your experience but I do feel you will get a lot more benefit with more tailored to you medications for sure.
I'm not sure how much you are prescribed but 10g off morning meds 10g of afternoon and 10 g of night meds could be a good way to look at it and is not an extreme amount of THC even for a newcomer.

It will not be a problem for them to change your script I'd suggest as this is the path my wife took with CB1 Medical and rang up and they were great.

Thanks great advice I will get back to them, my dose was 3 x day 0.1 to 0,3gs, of flower per session, even at 0.5 gs little to no effect with the flower and the oil I would get more effect from a cup of coffee. I have used cannabis in the past but alcohol was my go to drug for ADHD self medicating. I was hoping medicinal cannabis would be a lesser evil and fill that constant drive for dopamine fix so hopefully the next prescription is stronger and I can feel something.

Absolutely and the meds you've had are pretty introductory but the stuff I'm suggesting is pretty common and they really are good if you speak the lady on the phone to request it be changed ,they probably expect it and you will find improvement as you get the right meds I'm sure as I 've treated myself for over 30 years avoiding alcohol for most of that so there's hope and bare in mind most people order 40 50 60g you wouldn't be asking mutch but hopefully roughly what is suited to your needs and it really isn't a race to high THC as I personally don't get as much benefit from 25%+THC and quite often they make me worse apart from the odd one or two.

Thank you this is great information.

Just seemed so easy to try and help as your symptoms I can relate to and your clinic my wife is a new patient at a few months ago and between us here we have learnt what they will and wont usually allow and as we learn we spread the knowledge to help others
