Intros Introduction, backstory and initial review

[MGF]

Hello, I'm male, based in the South East (of England), and desperately hanging onto my 30's

I've used cannabis on and off in my adult life and have always seen it as a medicine. As I got older, though, my friendship circles shrank as well as my contacts, and so for the last several years I've been visiting the Netherlands 2-4 times a year as a holiday destination. I love Dutch history, architecture and partial to the odd football game, but the fact that cannabis is legal and relatively socially accepted there, it's been my go-to destination as I can have a week of enjoying my favourite medicine before returning home to sobriety.

I caught up with an old friend this year who told me he's a medical cannabis patient and recommended me a clinic to join, so I'm a new patient at Cantourage. I got my first prescription about 3 weeks ago.

1. BC Green UC T22 Unicorn Cake Medical Cannabis Flower - 10g - £75
2. Curaleaf® T420 Jack Herer Medical Cannabis Cartridge - 0.5ml £30

These are the two products I was prescribed after my video consultation with a Doctor. My reasons for becoming a patient are to help with insomnia, depression and anxiety, and these were the two recommended products by the doctor. I had no access to see any of the products available at the time, so all I could do was accept their recommendation.

Not sure if I should review the two products here or make a separate post, so I'll keep it short:

1. BC Green UC T22 - 10g - £75 - Awful, terrible, non-existent, a charlatan, useless. Vaped on low, mid, and high temps and zero effect every time. Still contemplating asking for a refund if that is even possible.

2. Curaleaf 420 Jack Herer Cart - £30 - Good vape cart, helps lift a dull mood, but not that helpful as a sleep aid. Nearly finished with the cart already because the bud has been a dud. 0.5ml is not enough, needs to be 1ml or more.

I've found some very helpful posts on the forum today, especially the one about recommendations for insomnia - unfortunately, all the bud/products that have been recommended so far are not available on the Cantourage portal, so if anyone else is with this clinic and can recommend me some products that work, I would be very grateful.

Next week, I have my follow-up consultation - I'm assuming this is to see how I have got on with my first prescription and to discuss what my next prescription is.

Do these consultations happen every month in order to get a prescription? I was hoping to have a bit more autonomy on what products I can purchase, but I'm starting to wonder if that's not possible as a medical cannabis patient, or does this depend on the clinic you are with?

Thanks for reading!

Welcome to the Community @MGF

I will see if i can see anything on their Formulary which can be obtained here on medud clinics/pharmacy. There should be a good choice for an evening strain to help with sleep/anxiety/depression

Thanks, Dooby Doo, that would be very helpful!

There's one product/strain that might help and that's Phant T28 Pink D1. I don't know what your tolerances are like but you want to aim for an Indica Hybrid strain for evenings and to help with sleep.

Welcome @MGF,

Thank you for sharing all of that.

I can't help to much on the Cantourage formulary recs but I wanted to say hello and welcome nonetheless.

T23 Black cookies could help. Anything by Phant, bc green, LOT420, Sitka, All Nations Oceanic you should be able to try and more

Hello and welcome, I used to be with Cantourage but moved due to the lack of choice.

The lot420/AAAA brand is generally good and allot of people like the Auroa brand that Cantourage have in stock and also the Green Karat brand.

You have 1 appointment after your first month and then you should have freedom to order what you want and then you get follow up appointments every 3 months.

Thanks for that @cornucopia the system here is still being updated to have looked on their Formulary what they had available

Thanks so much. I think I'll try the Phant or one of the AAAA next time. Never having anything by BC Green again after the fake fluff they sent me in the first prescription.

Thanks, I've noted those down. My friend who recommended me Cantourage also mentioned the AAAA today so think that will be my go to for the next order. May I ask, who did you go to after Cantourage?

Thanks for the welcome, I've seen you around the forum, very informative and helpful, so thanks for that too.

That must have really been disappointing for you especially being your first prescription, hopefully youll find something that works for you, sometimes it is trial and error but being here should give you a rough idea what products might work for you by taking in what others are saying about different Strains, everyone can be different due to different health conditions, what might work for someone else may not be ideal for you. Speak to your Consultant and explain what worked and what didn't and he or she should be able to guide you

No problem, I went to CB1 Medical who have allot more availability and the delivery is much quicker

Yes, with them myself, great clinic and service so far for me in the 9mths of being with them.

Yeah, very disappointing as £75 is not something I can afford to waste. I'll definitely being speaking with my consultant about it in detail. Thanks for your advice today.

The other thing that started to annoy me was that half of the flower was 5-7 day processing time, then some were 1-2 and some were 7-10. So it could really slow down the whole order, i had one take 10 working days after I had paid to despatch !!

 

[GrownHealth]

Welcome to the forum @MGF and nice to see you've been made welcome already and from my limited knowledge of your formulary I'll see if I can think up one ore two suitable strains and put them in here as the night goes on Once again welcome

I had issues like this with a previous Clinic, it was a nightmare

Welcome! Good to hear some feedback on the JH cart - I've been wondering about that one
