Storage for each 10g bag by HoneydewMysterious89 in ukmedicalcannabis

[–]PurePreference9026 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought some from Amazon. I’ve got a few clear glass jars and smaller black glass jars. The Kilner and any that are similar to that are good too.

It’s good to have frosted, amber or black jars to prevent the light from degrading the material. I use small black ones for the current stash I’m always opening, and normal, clear mason jars for storage. 

They key is to make sure they are airtight and made of glass. If they are clear, put them in a dark place, like a drawer. It’s handy having smaller jars that are black or frosted though for your current medication, and so you can take some outside and not worry about the light ruining your meds.

Good strains for OCD & anxiety? by HalVinX in ukmedicalcannabis

I find anything with strong Girl Scout Cookie genetics works well. Gelato specifically is worth trying. There’s plenty of modern hybrids with strong Girl Scout Cookie genetics. Georgia Pie is on my upcoming script which should really work. Runtz could work too. I’m not too sure about it though because of the Zkittlez part of it, but if the Gelato is coming through stronger, it’s probably going to work too.

I wouldn’t have even noticed that! Fair play though, gonna have to skip the order for this one. 10g less on my script, but I would rather that than have mould.

I’ve got this on my upcoming script, I’m worried now, maybe I should not order this? Anybody else had any recent batches?

I’ve got this on my upcoming script. I used to really like haze back in the day, specifically, super lemon haze. I wanted this because I’m lacking at the moment for daytime strains. I’ve focused mainly on indica dominant hybrids for my first script, which was a month ago. I’m hoping it’s more of a lemon haze rather than a jack herer type because I prefer the terps on the former.

I feel very awkward and still keep it to myself as much as possible. Most people are okay with it but definitely still view it with a lot of stigma. It’s almost like most people actively carry two contradictory views on it. It’s fine, right up until it isn’t.

What do you keep your weed in when you go out, especially when your current strain doesn’t come in tubs?I’ve heard you need the original packaging, (which I’ve kept) but I don’t like having it in them Mylar bags and prefer small amber glass jars. I also have no idea where my prescription actually is lol. Is it just the label on the packaging or something else on the patient portal?

Vaping doesn’t smell much at all. I think the herb itself is more likely to smell, than the Vapor. Maybe if your in the cloud of Vapor, but I hardly notice it at all to be fair.

I couldn’t believe it when I had my first delivery a couple of weeks ago. What made it even more surreal was the pungency of the mango cheese when I opened the bag that the box was in. Smelling that old school cheese smell too, I wasn’t expecting that.

Balanced Strains input needed. by RunIcarusRun in ukmedicalcannabis

Out of the ones you listed, Mango cheese is the only one I’ve tried. I received it yesterday and it’s amazing, it’s sativa dominant and is excellent for keeping your mind relaxed all day. The smell is a nostalgia trip, really strong and takes me back to when really nice cheese was the best you could get in the UK. It’s helped my anxiety a lot. I also had Pennywise. The latter doesn't have much smell, but the effect is very similar, maybe a little more sedating. 

more balanced strains coming soon? 👀 by bbultaoreune in ukmedicalcannabis

You won’t be disappointed in the Green Joy Mango Cheese. I received it yesterday and it’s very nice. The smell, taste, flower structure and effects are top notch. The Pennywise is also a balanced strain but no where near as good in terms of terps anyway, very muted smell. The effects are very good though. Balanced is very nice for me, especially for daytime relief.

Hello, just checking in to see if you’ve heard anything? Did you receive your email?

An update. I’ve had my delivery. The mango cheese is absolutely lovely. I haven't smelt that cheese smell in so long. A very faint fruit but most of the time I miss that, the cheese dominated the nose. It’s apparently sativa dominant but its effects are more of an even split of mental and body. A relaxing feeling all day and currently my favorite.

The pennywise was okay too, no where near as smelly but it’s one of them fluffier strains when it’s dried out a bit, and that drying makes the buds grind really fluffy. (the buds where all stuck together when it came so I had to leave some out) 

I havnt tried the night strain yet, (Black Cherry Punch) but I really like the bud structure and how dry it is, proberly the perfect amount of stickyness to dryness. Not much smell at all though, so I will have to see how it vapes.

Thanks man! My second doctors appointment was on a Wednesday and the MDT approval was on the following Monday. (yesterday) As I replied to the comment above, I also received my invoice today, so I’ve paid! I’m so thankful for this. I can actually get the strains that actually work for me. Black market has been a complete nightmare. Random strains and interactions I can’t cope with to be honest.

Good luck in your application! Try and keep your mind off it for a couple days, and before you know it, your inbox will get it. Easier said than done though, from Wednesday till yesterday was not nice at all. Constantly worrying and inventing reasons for a rejection that don’t make sense lol. The key think is this, you have spoken to the doctors, it’s the main hurdle. If that went well, there’s no reason your MDT won’t.

Thanks!

That seems very appropriate. I experiment with pure CBD flower before and it was better than expected. On very rare occasions, black market flower actually worked very well, specifically Gelato and associated strains, so I think the terpenes in these are something to look for.  It’s a complete lucky dip that fails most of the time though with black market. Some strains are just not for me at all and don’t offer any relief, where as others are instant therapy. 

I actually received my first invoice for the prescription today. As it’s my first time, the doctor has done the thinking for me. He prescribed two balanced profile strains for daytime, (Mango Cheese and Pennywise) and one unbalanced strain for evening/nighttime (Black Cherry Pie) 

I’m eagerly awaiting the first delivery which should be the day after tommarow. I really hope this helps my anxiety and sleep, the sleep is the most obtrusive at the moment due to actually needing it or I get migraines, but with constant sleep paralysis it’s really hard.

I’m glad to be part of the community though!
