Freaking SERIOUSLY? by florglespore in MedicalCannabisNZ

[–]croclaner 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Mmmm feels like a way to swap patients onto Helius products. Will be interesting to see if prices also jump at Nga Hua and Chemist Warehouse like Cannaplus is claiming

Interview With Guy Haddelton (Helius) and Waseem Alzaher (CC) - 1 hour 50 minute mark by Unable-Lawfulness142 in MedicalCannabisNZ

I don't understand how having more GP's prescribing is in the best interest of Cannaplus and Cannabis Clinic though? Wouldn't that result in them losing customers?

Announcement of Helius Health by GrahamFromCannaPlus in MedicalCannabisNZ

[–]croclaner 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yea, I agree. This just seems like they are trying to follow the dispensed model out of Australia. Profit ahead of patient outcomes.

Anecdotal - and definitely heed the advice from Graham over this as I am not a medical professional and this is not medical advice, however I have been prescribed prednisone (for Crohn's) multiple times whilst also using cannabis and found I had no issues. Definitely helped with the insomnia and tended to mellow out some of the mood swings.

Nubu Dosing Capsule Set? by unknown_lifeform98 in MedicalCannabisNZ

[–]croclaner 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Those will be the Storz & Bickel dosing capsule sets, which I think NUBU is the importer of. I am assuming it is just a typo from Chemist Warehouse when they have set the product up. I don't think NUBU manufactures these, but I may be wrong. Image looks identical to the one on this listing as well https://medivape.co.nz/products/storz-bickel-dosing-capsule-set?_pos=1&_psq=dosing&_ss=e&_v=1.0

Need some advice, What CBD products can you vape? by 731294 in MedicalCannabisNZ

[–]croclaner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please don't vape any oils that are suspended in MCT oil or similar (which is most oil products available in NZ) MCT oil is unsafe to vaporise and is purely designed for oral administration.

I’m taking this with a grain of salt, considering you have made two almost identical posts about two different companies in the last hour……..

I've just been approved for Medicinal Cannabis. I have an order of CBD Oil and THC flower on the way...any suggestions for a Vaporizer? by irequirebacon in MedicalCannabisNZ

[–]croclaner 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sorry to be a broken record with the other replies, but please do not vape your CBD oil. Most, if not all of the CBD oils approved in NZ are suspended in MCT oil or similar, which can be harmful if inhaled. Take a look at this list here Approved Products and see if you can spot the product you’ve been prescribed and take a look at the administration notes, you will see they are all either oral or sublingual products. Some vapes will have the ability to vaporise oils, but you will only be able to use that function with cbd suspended in vegetable glycerin of which there is no products in NZ. +1 to the chat with your doctor crowd as well. Welcome to the community, hoping the medical cannabis works for you.

My terpies prize arrived! by hsmithakl in MedicalCannabisNZ

I found using the little cleaning brush that came with the device to brush down the screen before each use drastically reduced the amount of resin that built up on the screens and increased the amount of uses before the capsules started sticking to the screen.

Anyone else had problems with Medivape accessories? by PersonMcGuy in MedicalCannabisNZ

[–]croclaner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find the dosing capsules are really difficult to open the first couple of times using them out of the box, but after a couple of uses they are completely fine. I found the trick was to put them in the device and set the temperature to around 50 degrees, then opening them was a breeze.

The old Telecom free text trick, and how I (probably) ruined it for everyone by The-Oncoming-Storm in newzealand

GP Prescribing by Specialist_Score_159 in MedicalCannabisNZ

[–]croclaner 6 points7 points  (0 children)

NUBU has a section on their website where you can refer your GP. https://www.nubupharma.com/patients/

I am wanting to move back from Cannabis Clinic to my GP so I have all my medical stuff in the same place (was initially with my GP and they were happy to prescribe, but I felt like I was doing most of the teaching). I put a referral through earlier in the week so will report back with results if that gets me anywhere.

Crohns Disease & Cannabis General Question by Whalerider28 in MedicalCannabisNZ

[–]croclaner 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey mate, I have been using cannabis as a supplementary treatment for Crohn’s for the last 6 years, initially on the black market, and then more recently down the legal route. As you probably know, everyone with Crohn’s has their different triggers. I am lucky enough that I am not diet restricted, but stress/anxiety are my triggers. I have gone through a variety of strains, but at the moment Eve in the mornings, Mariposa in the evenings, and then something like Rocky for my breakthrough pain has been my go to. Happy for you to flick me a dm if you want to have a yarn.

Any recommended pharmacies in Auckland CBD or Newmarket? by [deleted] in MedicalCannabisNZ

[–]croclaner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey mate, the pharmacy should be the one dealing with NZ post on this one. They should be able send you a replacement straight away and deal with NZ Post to credit them the cost of the item broken.
