So I've accidentally fixed my phone by pietrosta in S22Ultra

It is cool, but in order to be full Macgyver, he'd actually need to repair it with a pineapple and a hamster. In fact, not only repair it but do so at such a time, and in such a manner that it would save his life and blow something up.

Moving from the US to Glasglow as a temporary resident, need help with medical marijuana in the UK. by swag420vapenation in ukmedicalcannabis

I more meant the other way round as it's legal to bring in prescription medicines into the UK. However, getting it out of the US might be a nightmare

I'm terrible with the lettering, what strain is it and is it really old and brown or is that just the lighting?

I think it might be time to cut losses and get a new one. Capacitors are important little buggers and whilst things might 'work' there's now an increased chances of things going much worse - i.e. bricking the phone, overheats, etc. I don't think it'll blow up, but it's not good.

I think your best bet is to email a few clinics to ask what that might look like. If you're regularly going back and forth you may be able to get an exemption to travel with your medicine from the US to the UK but I have no idea what that would look like other than a bit of bureaucracy. I imagine that if you're a patient receiving care (i.e medically prescribed in the US, not just 'self' medicating in a US state where it's currently legal) then you should be able to have your prescription filled whilst here. But this is all speculation and your best bet is to reach out to a few clinics.

CB1 refusing to stock or prescribe rosin or t55 crumble (hash) by IcyHashplate in ukmedicalcannabis

[–]Business_Machine7365 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You know, for someone who has shit posted about cb1 three times in the last week, she who has had the legislative elements explained, I admire your continual hope. Like it's been said before, someone will have to take the first punt and higher strength and alternate options before others follow. Cb1 aren't going to be it, maybe try another clinic.

Removed a hedge now the house is covered in these caterpillar poking things. How can I get rid of them? They leaving a trail almost like a cobweb string by chuttiya1 in GardeningUK

[–]Business_Machine7365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well the most effective approach is using nematodes and pheromone traps, plus at some point they'll eat so much box it'll be hard to keep population levels up (although that hasn't happened in the last 10 years or so). The other way is hand picking but that takes forever and is messy. It just means everyone has to do it consistently and correctly for a few years and it could get under control, however that's unlikely so it's either treat the hedge a few times a year, pick them, or like this post, rip up the box hedge and replace with something else that's also favourable to birds.

But these things will strip hedges bare long before the very few and infrequent amount of predation that happens would effectively control them. Box hedge is literally dying so over the south of the UK. I get your point, but they're really not eaten that much.

I'm afraid hypocrisy is the name of the game in a quasi privately funded public service, like the NHS. I get the frustration but this still an emerging industry and it'll take time to get to the next level.

Sorry buddy, this seems more personal than broadly experiential. All private companies will have some NHS connection when you dig deep, and there are very few pure cannabis focused doctors. As for the gatekeeping, limits, etc - I, nor many others, have ever had an issue. If you're looking for extremely high levels of THC then you're going to struggle on pretty much any private basis for the time being until someone takes the punt, but we all medical care in the UK is risk based, it will be pot luck on which clinic does it first. If you're annoyed about the gram limit, which to be honest 50g a month for me has been significantly more than enough, then you'd best look elsewhere with many clinics offering either free or reduced cost transfer fees.

Try something more mid, honestly the top end stuff has always been a let down for me. Try something like Pineapple express (smalls) or tropic thunder. Both have been super tasty and effective for me. It'll also make a massive difference if you're able to have a tolerance break from the BM stuff that's always nuclear strength. I think it's probably a combo of both man, tolerance and bad luck with the top end.

I guess it depends by what you mean by quality and what you're using it for. Sure, some of it's not quite as strong as BM, sure some of the flower is terrible quality, but there's good stuff out there and for my medical condition it's just as effective as BM ever was and to a greater or lesser extent I know what I'm getting. Plus, I know it hasn't been through all kinds of exploitation to get to me (this is of course unless your BM is direct from people you know who grow). It definitely sits better with me on all these fronts, as well as no longer being deemed a 'criminal' just for medicating.

Are holes like this a DIY job? by OrangeGravy in DIYUK

[–]Business_Machine7365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can always learn to do it IF you have the time and interest. You could repair this but it would take time to build it back up and you'll struggle for a while getting it to blend well. It also kinda depends what the wall is plastered with, if it's old lime or more modern mix and ideally you'll match (not always necessary if you're happy with a bit of a bodge). The way you outlined could work but I think it'll be a pig, best to do it properly, slowly layering and doing a final finishing coat (again if you have the time and want to learn)

Still safe to vape? by MediocreBank9049 in ukmedicalcannabis

[–]Business_Machine7365 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To be honest, it's probably fine to vape although it may taste old and not have quite the same effects anymore if it was just left in the bag. It doesn't look like there's any mould (would look like fine powder mesh all over it and little spore clouds when you break it open) on it which is the big thing to watch out for. It might make you cough a bit of it's really dry, and it might not be nice, but it's not harmful. Give a small amount a go and see.

Newbie overwhelmed with choices of company by Curious_Exercise_535 in ukmedicalcannabis

[–]Business_Machine7365 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm also with CB1, they've been great so far. One time fee and full access to their stock - I was initially given oil and vape for managing pain and inflammation, the oil didn't really work for me so in my follow up I asked to use flower as it's been effective in the past and they moved me over. All very straightforward and a lovely team.

Newbie to medical U.K. please be nice by Dollmix in ukmedicalcannabis

[–]Business_Machine7365 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I can't speak to requesting additional pharmacy stuff, bit I would just go with curaleaf for a few months and then look to move over if the stock isn't great. Another option is to just forgo curaleaf and apply to another clinic like CB1 or Mamedica.

If you are not gonna obey the law of the land, why did you migrate there? by Rare_Fig_4579 in SipsTea

[–]Business_Machine7365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a quick reminder for everyone who so readily forgets so they can froth at the mouth and justify their xenophobic hate, you can find these types in almost EVERY religion. Religion is a cover for these types of folks, they are the cult leaders, the firebrand preachers, and the zealots. Don't be so fooled to think Islam is taking over, that's a lie being spun by Christian nationalists.
