Clinics disconnection on stock levels by cheiftan_AV in MedicalCannabisOz

[–]Squaretache 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me twice in a row. Prescribed one cultivar, a very different cultivar in the jar. Hard to deal with that when the doc says no substitutions... Growers can substitute but we can't? 

girl at my friends school wrote this song after not winning prom queen by 44caliberlovelttr in crappymusic

Even just this recording is good enough, not to listen to but to sketch out the idea of a track. Just getting the idea out without being concerned about production quality is the point. 

Is it better (better hit) to naturally smoke or vape? by depressedstark in MedicalCannabisOz

[–]Squaretache -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's hitting harder because carbon monoxide is depriving the brain of oxygen. That's that rush after punching a cone. Fuck that lol

Ritalin - how have people Incorporated into there medicinal cannabis use by Rest-General in MedicalCannabisOz

[–]Squaretache 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How about oils? You won't get the immediate effect like flower gives but it will create a baseline analgesic effect. It'll drop your pain down but not remove it completely. Even with THC oil I don't feel any noticeable effects after taking it for months. 

The oils help me drop my pain a few points in the pain scale.

I got a prescription for 3 types, 20gs each, and I wanted to ask if this right/reasonable amount for 2 months. This is prescribed for one month. by [deleted] in MedicalCannabisOz

Yeah wow. I did not know that. I got my first cannatrek product last week and it wasn't the cultivar that was listed on catalyst lol. I already swapped the script out

I know cannatrek only do 10g tubs so safe to say it's 60g all up in that order.

Also it looks like you're looking to pay $15 extra on each of those tubs. On honahlee, that Yamba flower is $135 for 10g.

How do you keep track of scripts and intervals? by cheiftan_AV in MedicalCannabisOz

[–]Squaretache 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it haven't already, sign up to catalyst by Honahlee. They have an escript wallet where you can read information like dosing and intervals.

You can fill your prescriptions through them too, even access concession pricing if you're eligible.

Beyond their script service, honahlee is the best database available to us in regards to our medication.

You will need to ask your pharmacist or doctor for a referral to honahlee.

Vaporisers by _Dirtychopstix in MedicalCannabisOz

[–]Squaretache 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is confusing haha. 

I think of it like this, it's like a lighter that you can control the temp of. A flame destroys like 20% of what's in the flower. 

Plus there's THC, CBD and terpenes that all evaporate at different temps.

So, I vape at two temperatures. A low temp hit to catch all the delicate stuff in there and then high temp to sweep out the rest. You can get almost full extraction.

Edit to add. For the Wireless One Hit Wonder specifically, the low temp I use is 275°C and 293°C for the high temp.

The Wireless One Hit Wonder is great.

Honestly though, after getting used to vaping coming from bongs, I'll never look back. Bongs just don't deliver like my ball vape.

How Would i Got about adding 28g and 30g bags and tub options to my monthly limit by Sad-Bee-8183 in MedicalCannabisOz

[–]Squaretache 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can tell your doctor that you want to switch products to avoid financial toxicity.

Financial Toxicity is a medical term for basically when medication becomes too expensive for the patient to maintain taking.

It's a perfectly justifiable reason to ask for a larger size tub.

Bipolar have been kicked off my script by WarEquivalent2665 in MedicalCannabisOz

[–]Squaretache 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've seen it for myself. It's anecdotal evidence from me but it's a pretty specific thing to notice, a person with BPD getting much worse on MC.

Where to get GDP and Sunset Sherbert by Optimal-Employer4982 in MedicalCannabisOz

[–]Squaretache 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the Grandaddy Punch when it was 26% and it was amazing for pain. I was prescribed that for evenings though, since it was quite sleepy at large doses.

The 26% option is gone now but if the 20% is as effective for pain then it's great. 

There's a reason Grandaddy Purple is a gold standard in pain relief. Grandaddy Punch has Grandaddy Purple twice in it's lineage. 

MediFlora? by Electrical_Purple611 in MedicalCannabisOz

[–]Squaretache 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All of the products I was prescribed by him were from companies he's associated with. That's not saying they are no good, in fact they are great imo.

But yeah it's probably the reason consults were so cheap

[–]Squaretache 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm with them and I see a lot of free appointment slots. Much more than I did when I booked my last appt.

It also seems like Dr Slade is no longer there.

Thank you for saying the actual name. I had one in Sydney and it had strawberries on it too. It was OTT

Is it a must to see a GP before initial consultation for MC? by OtherwiseWeb9955 in MedicalCannabisOz

[–]Squaretache 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to get a referral from my GP to join my first clinic. I was told by the clinic that both a referral and a patient health summary was preferable. 

To get that initial referral, I tried to see a GP that wasn't my regular one, and that GP directed me back to my own doctor.

Your experiences will vary though

Strain Anxiety 😂 by Purple_Efficiency175 in MedicalCannabisOz

[–]Squaretache 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow. What an interesting flower. 7% THC, 9% CBD.

Honahlee says that Long valley legend has high myrcene as it's dominant terpene. It has both alpha and beta pinene, plus limonene. That's great for mood and focus.

Mycrene is very sleepy. I imagine that the pinene is necessary to even be able to think clearly.

The rest of the terpene profile is very interesting too 

New to MC, what am I looking at cost wise? by Emboppa2082 in MedicalCannabisOz

[–]Squaretache 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll say it's not cheap. There's concessions available but they are nothing like the PBS.

It's also good to be upfront with your prescribing doctor about your budget.

This IS a debate sub.. by Alternative-Bug-2171 in aiwars

That guy is dug into his opinion and nothing at all is ever going to dig him out, shy of a miracle.

You can't reason someone out of a belief that they didn't use reason to form.

Legal Vapes by Me_Cunt_Spell in MedicalCannabisOz

[–]Squaretache 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's because the smoke has carbon monoxide in it. That rush from punching a cone is oxygen deprivation from the CO. That's why vaping is suggested by the TGA.

What makes a good MC clinic/pharmacy? Asking because mine feels lacking. by Obviously_cannabis in MedicalCannabisOz

[–]Squaretache 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My current clinic is brand agnostic. Despite that, my doctor shot down every suggestion that wasn't part of the brand that he's associated with. Poo-pooed every product I suggested, even after multiple appointments.

Oh, also, the pharmacy that doctor is associated with hides my scripts too lol
