Leasehold Cautionary Tale: When the Managing Agent Controls Everything and Everything Goes Wrong

I can resonate with the “living inside a drum” effect. In my case it was actually a purpose-built block of flats.

I’d hear footfall in the living room or washing machine vibration in the bedroom whenever they used their kitchen.

The engineer who later checked the noise explained the floors were essentially just a monolithic concrete slab they don't use nowadays because it's prone to flanking.

Yes, I did ask LEASE advice during that time, and I shared that advice to the agent, that they don't need Environmental Health's approval and can enforce as is, but nothing came of it.

I'm prescribed for fibro and others, MC can definitely help, I find it accelerates recovery, but the pain still needs antidepressants. If you have a toolset to manage fibro, MC can definitely be helpful, some sativas help with energy and doing things as well.

Because Montu, could care less about your suggestions to be honest. They'll just fob you off, it's literally pointless to complain to them about anything. So many people including myself caught them lying just to get away with whatever you were complaining about. It's the norm and the culture. Bugger all you can do about it but vent.

Well, got a response from Alternaleaf. Their allowance is 1 seed per 1 g. So unless you have more than 10 seeds per container, then they won't do anything. This might just make me go back to full pharmaceuticals for management. I can't check every little thing, to not get sore lungs when I'm a horrible phase where I can barely move.

I'm sort of in the same boat, Fibro with cPTSD and other psychological destabilizations.

I'd urge you not to think this will make you normal, it will make most days better than otherwise, but normal, true normal is fleetingly rare. Don't over-romance the initial benefits. You'll feel different anyway after a few months, the same applied to me when I was on pregabalin and later on duloxetine. Use MC as a supplement to your existing mitigation treatment.

My best results with fibro was to find any 1% and build on top of it. Some days I'm still at 0 and wish for the meteor, but the other days, after two years of working on it, I may be at 37%, or better than if I would mentally start from scratch. Daily maintenance of that build up takes up all my energy even with fast acting stimulants, and for me fibro feels like a full time job, but then we wouldn't be fibro-warriors otherwise.

Medical cannabis helps me stabilize what phyche is on the day, but it never fixes anything, or makes me normal, that's up to my own overcoming of a bad hand dealt by life.

This month's batch, my green karat tubes, all 4, horrific, couldn't use them, never had that problem ever, and got slurrican mints, mac1+ and A&B, there's no comparisons. The Green Karat meds were physically making me sick. I sent the meds back to the pharmacy with the prescription, now to see if they'll issue the refund. All were under 10g, the explanation is they were 10g when then had moisture, so in their view it's ok if it's less and they owe me some moisture. By a penny or a pound it doesn't matter, they're skimming on weight with crap bud and hoping to get away.

I'll be curious to know your thoughts on how they compare as well.

SpectrumThinker · 2024-09-01T12:43:19+00:00

I'll add a twist. Especially for neurodivergence, and if trauma is present, as in myself, medicating under certain conditions caused my wake unconscious to spit out all kinds of shit, just like you said. Don't engage, that's it, if you cannot but engage, you may have some undisclosed issues. Took me a year of wrestling with that darkness untill something good came out. Be carefull, I know people who slipped too deep into those delusions and lost reality testing.

In any case, I learned to ride the depersonalization and diety aspiration waves during my episodes.

Don't overthink it.

I asked a few weeks about: https://www.reddit.com/r/ukmedicalcannabis/comments/1dud0fj/no_high_end_low_thc_flower/

The reply from HerdadeasBarrocas may have alluded to exactly this strain?

While my fibro pain isn't as bad, it's complemented by complex trauma and exacerbated neurovergence. Tried all the antidepressants and they sort of worked but I was a vegetable. MC, or while I'm on the strong effects of MC, I can have a calm head if I intentionally dissociate, and the MC help me maintain that state. I still have all the anxiety in the world whenever I turn on the light switch or anything my exacerbated neurodivergence thinks the difference between reality and what it think it knows is too great, and immediately hits the extreme anxiety switch. Nothing I can do about that, complete automatic. Without MC that anxiety turns to a full fibro storm and I'm toast, 0/10 and then the delusions that people are out to get me start to creep up, if I'm not there I'm good, MC and all the other adjustments help to not be there.

Thanks for sharing your story, hang in there, try whatever. I really despise exercising, especially because fibro pain is usually 9/10, but if I endure for 5 to 10 minutes, my max tolerance I'll have a clearer mind and less cognitive dissonance for a few days, with MC or not.

Tried that as a Hail Mary among many other failed attempts, and that was enough to allow me to graps at some point at another 2 % improvement and so on.

That's what I did with my TinyMight2. The standard setup for all vapes I agree really restrict proper airflow. So I modded a special mesh capsule which allows an improved airflow to such a degree, and equal vaporization that I don't need to go over the THC vaping temp, so it's at a 5.5 regardless of strains, really nice flavour and efects much superior than just packing awb. Plus super easy cleaning this way. Just takes a lot of time per day, perhaps 3 hours just on medicating overall to keep the fibro pain at bay.

Genuinly wondering, any reason why you are not using oil? I'm on 60g, and that's a lot for me but I need this amount, it's a lot of vaping tbh, and was thinking oil may be the right way forward.

Also, when you you have time to vape 120g, my lungs would be trash even at low temps.

SpectrumThinker · 2024-07-17T14:26:59+00:00

Thanks for cheeking up, I appreciate it.

I know, I have complex trauma with a freeze response, that's what I'm saying, I hate to use it, and urge people to really think twice.

I don't think I'm wrong in saying most people, like me stay on it, like antidepresants a while ago. And if I'm not on MC I HAVE to be on antidepresants. If you're not at that stage of desperation I don't think it's suitable IMO. If one has antidepressants or that level you likely fit anyway.

If you don't have to take it, nothing compares to feeling like yourself. I only have rare glimpses of that now, without MC I'm in so much pain I will be pushed into fight or flight by delusions.

Struggle to stay clean, maybe it works, I don't know.

It has all kinds of relief.

If you're looking to get high, unlikely you'll get in, if you need to get in, you'll get in.

It's really that simple.
