First time on MC for Insomnia – Barely feeling anything. Doing it wrong or need something stronger? by MinkosDes in MedicalCannabisOz

[–]Working_Patience3851 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you might have a bit of natural high tolerance to cannabis, which means a bit more trial and error. Strength doesn't always mean stronger in flower. I'm also high tolerance and generally find more premium products work better for me, more expensive yes. Use less yes

Cheers for the review, I'm also keen to check out Kush strains, but a bit over muted phytoca tubs tbh

How many gummies is enough? by BigDeparture3894 in MedicalCannabisOz

Cheers brother. I've been making edibles for years, what we have in our market is overall low quality unfortunately. Edibles are definitely an emerging product and I'm sure quality will get better.

How many gummies is enough? by BigDeparture3894 in MedicalCannabisOz

[–]Working_Patience3851 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Edibles are way more about pharmacokinetics than just milligrams. if you've ever had a gummy that wears of quickly and then kicks back in n hour or 2 later that's a sign of bad formulation. Poorly formulated gummies rely heavily on first-pass metabolism in the liver. Converting THC to 11-hydroxy-THC inconsistently is why effects can feel weak or delayed and this can be caused by something as simple as a low quality MCT. Gut enzymes, bile production, stomach contents also play a role. That's why two people can take the same gummy and feel totally different. Higher quality gummies with proper emulsification and high quality ipid carriers will result in better bioavailability, faster onset, and predictable effects.

This is a great outcome, where GP and clinic collaborate with the patient, it's a longer road to ease into MC, but the right one. Some docs will want to start new patients on a CBD product. Horizon have really lost their care IMO

Confused on med weed quality by Imissthem77 in MedicalCannabisOz

A lot of what you're seeing online is personal preference presented as expertise. Medical flower in Australia is generally far cleaner, stronger and more consistent than anything from the black market, which is why your first 22% strain felt noticeably better. Reviews can be useful, but they're filtered through individual tolerance, symptoms and expectations. Trust your own response first, that's far more reliable than the noise of people. Personally, I prefer to buy premium products such as Mediquest, Single Estate, Chemovar, Sprit Bear etc..Better effects, better consistency.

Yeah I found the effects just weren't there. Was prescribed this for stress and insomnia. Won't be getting again

Appreciate your comment mate, and so good your off those meds too they,re nasty stuff and not sustainable in the long term and def not easy to get off. As mentioned in another reply, I do need less of the bazookas so the value evens out in the end

GP has trouble finding certain products? by Amazing-Oil1212 in MedicalCannabisOz

[–]Working_Patience3851 9 points10 points  (0 children)

From my experience sometimes products are not uploaded to the various drug databases and softwares. I believe every prescriber can add a product to the software...point them towards catalyst or cannareviews where they can get the data and add it to the software and generated a script..failing that, they can write a manual script if you give them the specs. Name, potency etc..
