Hello
I’m surprised that this hasn’t been discussed already.
So, have you (ahem) inhaled?
And do you think that it’s beneficial to one’s mental health?

I’ll start. Yes and A Big Fat N

Well I didn't know how to get hold of it legally and wouldn't be able to smoke it anyway. My son picked up a leaflet in my usual pharmacy. It gave info and a web address for further information, I read the leaflet and looked up the website which answered my questions. It also gave a full breakdown of prices. The Alternaleaf one above had some dire reviews and I'm not convinced by their pricing which makes it sound as though there is no charge for the product which to me doesn't sound very likely. Maybe I didn't understand it but if that's so it wasn't clear. I filled in endless forms and was interviewed on zoom answering endless questions on my health etc. I've spoken to my GP who knows how much pain I'm in and is happy for me to try the cannabis as he's only too aware the Nhs are not happy with my level of Morphine and he'd struggle to justify increasing the amount I take, although I have reduced the amount greatly from it's previous level because I was accused of being addicted which was boll*cks so I reduced it gradually to prove a point, trouble is once you do that they won't increase it again. The consultant I spoke to agrees with me that reducing the amount while my level of pain is increasing and has told me not to reduce it further until my level of pain has vastly improved. I have 2 types of oil to place under the tongue, one in the morning and one in the evening and it's the evening one which gets increased over time. I'm with Curaleaf and so far very happy with their care.

This is an old thread from last year - 2023 - but I do see the old names on it 🙂
