GUESS who's LEGAL!!!

[Photosynthesis]

It's sad you guys can't grow your own. Solely relying on businesses to provide you cannabis will be more than disappointing for you.

You guys are just starting what has been going on here for a long time.

Quantity will always win out over quality.

 

[Ras Mason]

Get third party testing for that shwag you been smoking.

 

[billy_big_bud!]

the doctor that signed for me will pretty much sign for anybody as long as u dont say its for something silly. he has to cover his ass. depression is pretty easy to claim and difficult to confirm and hey, who hasnt been depressed before?

 

[sourpuss]

I hope to see some quality, if not I wont keep buying through the program. Wouldnt make any sense... ive heard mixed reviews. An old friend told me h3s been smoking the medical stuff and says its really good and consistent. He said the cbd stuff is great. Hes a hippy born in the wrong era so I trust his word...

Here in the land of "legal" weed 99% of what you can purchase at a store sucks balls.

At least in July they will implement testing on all product.

I don't know how anyone is going to pass.

Powdery mildew, and spider mites are the norm, not the exception.

I think the thing to keep in mind with cannabis is that it is a plant. It is not sterile, nor should it be sterile. When I purchase "organic" produce from the farmers market I see insect damage, and sometimes insects. I take that as a good sign.

With mandatory testing comes mandatory use of insecticides, pesticides, and fungicides, so that said corporations can pass the test.

So which is worse?

The answer is subjective of course.

Grow your own, fuck the law, and free the weed!

 

[blastfrompast]

There is some good shit out there...mebbe not quite on the market...but it is coming....

I think there are going to be some LP's who lose their licenses tho... or at least get slapped for breaking the rules.... especially those who are desperately trying to get genetics right now....

 

[diffusing]

although probably the exception not the norm, some compassion clubs actually have high end meds, at reasonable prices. And most will deal with you with a MMPR document, at least for now.. if it turns out the LP you choose sucks. At least in the compassion setting you can browse in person and see what you actually buying.. rather than dealing with shenanigans like what Tweed was shipping. Ugh.

I'm sure there will be many, many, LP's.. one day, that will ship top end meds. But health canada doesn't seem to be in any rush to grant licences. so for now we are stuck with the small list of LP's, who more or less are reselling evil 'basement weed' from MMAR people. Personally I've not heard any of the existing LP's shipping anything better or cheaper that can be found on the street. which really sucks. Hopefully HC starts issuing more licences soon.

I just got a script for 5grams a day, the only shitty thing is that you need to know before you go to the doc who you want to sign up with, I picked bedrocan only because when I went to the doc I did not think he was going to sign off on it so I was sort of not prepared.

After the fact I realized I would of picked whistler medical.
The good thing is the doc will sign off on a script for them, the bad news I have to pay the paper work fee again. I got the script yesterday, I just sent in all the info to bedrocan today, so I will keep you posted on how long till I get my meds. The fee for the 1 year script is reasonable, I payed 100$. He signed off for a muscle injury I have and also PTSD.

Im sure sooner or later a few of the LP's will sell great stuff, but since everyone else produces bunk the good stuff will sell out super quick and lots of patients loose out. The other problem is the shady company's that market a product like its something special when its really not, and the patient looses out again. We see examples of this already

I like being able to go in a compassion club and see products before I buy it. I have an MMAR license and Ive been growing my own meds for years, but if I see a club with something real nice then I always pick up a bag because I appreciate QUALITY (who among us doesn't)

I think the only way this new program will work for patients is if home growing is still an option. Simple reason is because it puts pressure on the commercial producers to either grow a high grade product to attract buyers, or a lower grade product sold for a comparable price to what it costs to grow it at home. Ive seen tons of LP weed since the program started and Im just so very grateful to John Conroy keeping my right to grow, cause Id never buy any of it!!

sometimes, you would be amazed who your competitors are going to be. Silence is golden, wisdom is scarce.

[catalyte]

Theoretically, it should be much easier for patients that suffer from depression or anxiety to get a prescription and use MMJ to treat their symptoms. As with any other issue however, it is very challenging to find a doctor that will sign, and most docs will be particularly leery of prescribing marijuana to patients with mental health issues, especially if the doctor does not know the patient well. The main concern for doctors in this area are the 'psychosis' arguments and risks that many are still touting. It comes down to liability, doctors will want to be absolutely sure they are not prescribing to an unstable person, especially with all of the pressure being put on by the individual colleges.

MMJ is hugely effective for many people that suffer from anxiety though, and I know of a few patients that have prescriptions on this basis.

hey ras

you sure do talk alot lol haha

[Ras Mason]

haha funny. i ve watched you act and could show you the same type of culo crack.

 

[SeedsOfFreedom]

I have a friend who just got a prescription for anxiety, this will probably be seen much more often in the future. Also interesting he had his General Practitioner sign for FREE! I don't like the cost to patients(8+$/g from his LP), but this is proof of progress. This man has tried for a few years with no success. MMPR rolls around, and first mention to his doctors, he is in! I am happy for everyone who needs this for their health issues, they may finally get access to a program they deserve! I think I will be getting my prescription soon, I will not buy too much from LPs(gotta check it out!HA), but the legal protection this grants us is a great peace of mind.

 

[Ras Mason]

I have hyper-vigilence and somatic anxiety-ptsd.
I have been using ¨high¨ cbd 2:1 and 1:1 (in my book this is high...fuck that 20 percent cbd shit...what about the balance between the other 60 or so compounds ?) with great success.
The studies are there. They have no reason not to sign. especially if they fucked up yoour life with pills for years....

 

[diffusing]

Ras,

You find the 1:1 eliminates or greatly reduces the 'high' ? i imagine the 2:1 cancels it out nice but.. how do you feel about the 1:1. growing some 1:1 out now, but haven't heard much on the high, or lack of yet...
thx

 

[Ras Mason]

This is more strain dependant than purely ratios bro.
The 1:1 i had alot of experience with in the past few years was cbd skunk haze. did not like it, was too racy for me and got some anxiety still.
the 2:1 cbd shark i use still has a mellow high and is pleasant but really has a powerfull anti anxiety effect. like a straight attivan to the heart chakra.
The real cannatonic we had here in montreal 5 years ago was a 1:1 and was very good for anxiety. But be carefull and test your clone if youre using cannatonic...
I beleive thcv has alot to play in this type of organolleptic assessment.
My friend Javi from medical seeds just released his cbd y griega....i wonder how this will play, there is amnesia haze in there.
Yes u might say i am biased, but i f your looking for a close to 1:1 with anti anxiety effect, i would try our paradise cbd Durga Mata...
hope i made sense...i dabbed a blob of the winning wappa from the champs....
and i normally come herre simply to make stupid comments and chill a bit...

cheers

Man, me i use it to counter the side effects of the medication. Alot of studies have come out on the neuroprotective properties of both cbg acid and decarbed cannabinoids...fuckers got to pay for the damage of high doses of generic ssri s made in fucking china that they pumped me with for years. nightmare life threatening shit.
peace out.
blessed ganja devi. bom bom!
