Clinics Medicann UK

What an incredibly curt reply, ignoring their own specialist's need to correctly consider all treatment options available equally - and not bias treatment to the clinic's own non-compliant commercial formulary. Yes, they can discharge you, and as said - we've seen it before, but it is grounds to complain to regulators, and that needs to be done if the clinic is to ever properly change its ways - I feel they need to be made an example of publicly by regulators.

After over a month, we're still trying to track down their actual clinic registration details. Script Assist claim they have no details on Medicann's "Health Inspectorate Scotland" registration (equivalent of England's CQC), and I've actually had two other different company's staff each out to us trying to find out where on earth they're actually registered. There's other huge regulatory complaints other companies have with them too, aside from what seems like straight prescription direction, and commercially-influencing prescribing – I won't speak to this more publicly for now.


I have huge issue with this statement, they have a very limited formulary compared to the amount of medications actually legally available - excusing their behaviour, and just telling others to avoid if they want proper regulatory compliance is infact something that needs to be heavily fought against. Bluntly, patients shouldn't be accepting their bullshit whatsoever.

We have sent complaints to Medicann already, detailing regulatory issues, but are yet to receive any response so far.

There's good reason we wear a red warning on their listing.


Nailed it - the whole practice is completely non-compliant - no medical treatment service/clinic should ever be treated as a marketing funnel to bias prescribing and selling medication at a particular pharmacy.

I'm not really excusing their behaviour its more of an acceptance for the costs involved compared to other clinics and I do feel obliged to tell people about the discharge thing to avoid potential issues with themselves... I'm only trying to steer people away from getting discharged...
 
I've already seen myself where it gets you fighting against them... discharged... So what would I gain trying to fight for the external pharmacy thing apart from potentially being another statistic to the discharge list?
 
I have my own views, but please do whatever you feel is best for you - I fully recognise quite a few other patients have ended up using the clinic for cost-related reasons, and may be willing to accept their policies despite the restrictions.
 
If we want to change the external pharmacy thing it needs to be a mass group effort so they can't discharge all of us, one or two people complaining here or there won't change a thing and would most likely lead to discharge them rather than address the issue

Fair point well made - though as 'MedBud' overall, if we tackle the issue with Medicann, we also need to address other companies with similar practices too. We try do our best on our clinics page to highlight issues, and MediCann seems like one of the most egregious examples, but we have to be unbiased and tackle the issue en-masse across the industry. That feels most right IMO.

I don't mind kicking up a fuss if things aren't right but really don't want to be discharged after me first month :ROFLMAO: Medicann sent out a feedback form last week, I added a few ideas to improve the app and stated that being able to source meds from other Pharmacies would be a great addition, seems the best route for the patients to ask for this change without risk of the boot 🤞🙂

Did just find out Medicann are happy to let you order more than once during your script month, not sure if. this has been mentioned before but a handy option to have,
I missed out on the 4C Labs mac1 that's been in stock thinking I had to wait for my new script to start to order again 🙏

I have to admit none of this paints a nice picture for Medicann and its more than understandable as to why. If I were not already a patient here stuff like this would immediately make me swerve them. For whatever reason they're avoiding transparency and in a medical settings that is obviously alarming af.

I think their prescribing practices regarding other pharmacies and their CQC/HIS need to be highlighted on a regular basis when recommending them.

Here's the mental thing though, as a patient I won't leave. I can afford to leave and there's nothing contractual keeping me here. The reason for this, is quite stupid and fairly ignorant to wider affairs. Quite simply they're really fast. I put my script in at 12:40PM, by 12:50 it was approved and by 13:00 it was paid for. Service resembling Amazon is a big enough thing to make me overlook the reduced formulary and general shit housery.

I think long term, depending on how they reply, if they reply, I may leave for all the reasons outlined but the rest of the industry needs to play catch up with their prescribing efficiency. If Medicanns bullshit doesn't effect you then their speed does give reason to look the other way as cunty as that sounds.

Wonder how @Lagertha is getting on 👀

I wasn't joking but in hindsight it was probably not the right thing to say... I'm just picturing it affecting your private script status if you have a bad reaction and phone 999 🫣 I'd need to battle it out and let it naturally do its thing, I'm forgetting they've not got much of a tolerance so it may affect them a lot greater...

I didn't need an ambulance lol. To be fair, it wasn't a bad first experience. Took my first toke and within 10 minutes, felt a bit hungry. An hour later, I took another and felt quite relaxed but my mind was still alert. Ate some food and headed up to bed.
About 2am, I woke up and had a toke then went back to sleep. Woke up 10 mins later with anxiety and heart palpitations 🙄 They lasted 5 minutes and I laid awake for an hour, then I was out for the count again.
Maybe that particular vape isn't great for sleep/drowsiness so I hope they get the Sourdough one in soon.

Welcome to the forum! Did you try the edible? I got my first MC edibles last week, it was the T10 CBD10 I went for. Quite a light effect but what a sleep!
 
What clinics have you been with previous to Cannabis Clinic Cardiff? @Muiredach

I never see you talking about your own favourite strains or even vaping in general I feel we need more of your input/direction sometimes :P Very interested to know what your top 10 would be? As in available right now... Even a top 3 would be very intriguing from your perspective 👀

Flower Post in thread 'Your Top 5 Strains on UK Medical'

I've got to go past 5 just to make a point about what I think has been really good overall so far:
  1. Grow Gelato (Original 2022 Batch, 5.1.8c)
  2. Miracle Valley Canada Black Garlic (1st Batch Only, 2nd Trash, Now Discontinued)
  3. Green Karat Pave S1 (Older Batches Only)
  4. Green Karat Modified Gas (Older Batches Only)
  5. Canopy Growth® Krypton (Both Batches, Now Discontinued)
  6. Lumir® Legendary Larry (1st Batch Only, Now Unavailable)
  7. Lumir® Strawberry Malawi (Now Unavailable)
Grow's original Strawberry Glue batch was also sublime.
  • MAC-1+ is well-grown and terpy, fully understand why people...
  • Like

Bit of an old list, and don't have much to add for now - up until about a year ago I'd tried every single flower medication launched since 2021 (150+), but when we started getting 20+ new strains a month I couldn't keep up whatsoever. Right now, I've tried about 10 new launches in 3-4 months or so? Feels somewhat unfair even sharing these days, when I haven't tried that much out of what's launched.

I have 100+ ratings stored on the main database, I'll share them some time.
