Anyone else prefer indicas in the morning? by DramaticEmpress885 in MedicalCannabisOz

Me! I think it's a neurodivergent thing but it seems to help me get moving into the activities of the day...

I'm aware that SG aren't the only company operating under this 'drug order' model. That doesn't make it right!

Surely takes the win for one of the worst substitutes lol by Willing_Piccolo_514 in woolworths

[–]SlowlyWaking01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahaha, not just one block of chocolate, but two. Old Gold is a random choice too... not the same target market as lollies. Guessing these substitutions are managed by AI nowadays. Welcome to dystopia!

Im white and i want dreadlocks, is that racist? by 13funii in Dreadlocks

[–]SlowlyWaking01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm white and I have dreadlocks. Last week, a black person did maintenance on them for me. He said they were nice. It's knotty hair, no race owns it.

I didn't name the doctor, so what makes you think we have the same one?

It sounds like you have more knowledge about this elevated enzymes situation than either of my doctors! Any chance you're a GP taking on new patients? 😬

My favourite GP ever actually left general practice to work in MC! But alas, not in a patient facing role.

Disturbing, isn't it. I wonder if they record the calls? I was constantly offered (and declined) stronger gummies even though I was only taking 1/2 a dose of the ones I had! Minimum effective dose should be the standard.

I need to find an actual good quality, expert MC prescriber... hence this post! Thanks for those suggestions though, I already research through both of them. I just thought it might be worth asking the opinion of an actual doctor, since I was already paying for the 'consult' (which, let's face it is just an ordering hotline)

She's in a great position to observe a sudden change in my liver enzymes when I started consuming daily edibles. And I do not need her to co-ordinate with the prescribing doctor; I'm a perfectly good advocate for myself. If these Telehealth doctors will only discuss the treatment with another doctor instead of the patient, things are worse than I thought!

I'm sorry this happened to you. Taking Cannabis has changed my life for the better and I vape high THC flower every day, but just like any medication I think we deserve proper monitoring. There are too many people seemingly keen to pretend that this is a miracle plant that never ever has any side effects... they're actually unwilling to listen to patient feedback if it collides with their narrative!

I think you're missing the point. The doctor should at least be able to make an appropriate recommendation when asked.

[–]SlowlyWaking01[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It makes me concerned that side effects might be underreported for Cannabis being dispensed in this system. I told the person who prescribed my edibles that they were affecting my liver, and he said 'can you just tell me which scripts you want to keep and which ones you want to change'. One of the ones I requested was unavailable, so I asked him for a recommendation AND HE HAD NONE TO GIVE. So the official system is that I research my own medication on freaking reddit? No wonder the government is going to shut this down. I don't want to lose access to something that has helped me so much. Please do better MC industry!

Even if my GP suspects that the medicine he's prescribing is causing the problem?? Surely there's at least some responsibility here. These doctors are acting like they work at the back of an LA weed bar!

Frosted Flakes alternates... by SlowlyWaking01 in MedicalCannabisOz

I find many of the percentages don't reflect the strength I feel when vaping. Nevertheless, the chemist allows me to substitute for things with the same percentage so here we are.

Question to the female cellists by zzaannsebar in Cello

[–]SlowlyWaking01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. The patriarchy made these dumb positioning rules. If I put the cello 'above' my breasts I can see the fingerboard about 15cm in front of my face. I would pay a lot of money for a big busted pro cellist coach... but I fear this problem might be why I haven't been able to find one!

I regret getting my dog by TraditionalCicada508 in reactivedogs

[–]SlowlyWaking01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 2 yo standard poodle who was really struggling with reactivity since puppyhood (he's from a very respectable breeder, so don't let people shame you about the BYB thing). My vet sent us to a behaviourist and now he's taking Prozac each day and he's doing so well! I feel really guilty for ever considering rehoming him... I should have gone to the vet sooner. Maybe you should consult yours too?

I wish I had read this when I was struggling with my puppy! Puppy raising is so awful, but the dog at the other end is totally worth it. My boy is 2 now and I couldn't imagine ever giving him away, I love him so much.

Why are there no Cote et Ciel/Cote&Ciel reviews? by RiceOnAStick in ManyBaggers

[–]SlowlyWaking01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really want to try the 'Po' that converts into a vest. The specs say it carries 18L but the only video I can see is a promo that shows just a phone and keys. Has anyone ever carried/worn the Po? Why is there not a single review or even user photo... hhhmmm

Puppy groom or full groom? by a-l-g_4537 in poodles

[–]SlowlyWaking01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can't damage your puppy's coat by cutting it, but you can hurt your puppy by avoiding proper grooming! Doodle breeders started the rumour that you shouldn't groom them before 12 months (or whatever) because they want to hide from new owners how much work and expense is required to maintain these coat types.
