It’s still fucking illegal in this backward country.
Though technically I can have it on prescription but it turns out the NHS isn’t the cheapest supplier in town.
It’s never not gonna be illegal to bring it in in this manner.

I love that every Government since 1970 has talked about smashing the illegal drug trade but won’t do the one thing that’ll actually screw drug gangs royally…introduce legislation that takes control of the production and supply of drugs and treat Class A addicts like patients rather than criminals.
I appreciate there’s a lot of nuance and it won’t entirely stamp out illicit trade but it’s better than the current situation where you have to take it on trust that the thing you’re taking is safe.
Obligatory H&S Notice: Just say “no” kids, seriously, life’s short enough.
I get mine by private prescription, and it’s definitely cheaper than my old dealer, and much better quality.
No idea what the costing is when it comes to the NHS though.

Might be time for a medication review with my Rheumatologist. His £150 follow-up consultation fee could make me money over the long-term.
I paid £200 for my consultation (which is fully refunded if you don’t qualify), and from there all you pay for is your weed.
For example I got nearly 2oz of weed for just £250.
I don’t mean to be rude or suggest anything about your health by asking this, but do you have to have a very specific condition that enables you to get this prescription, or can someone get a prescription by saying they have anxiety or something similar that can’t necessarily be proven or disproven.
Also, they just prescribe bud knowing people will smoke it? Doesnt seem very health orientated, don’t they prescribe gummies or something like that?
The list of conditions that qualify you is large. Anywhere from migraines to Parkinson’s. But you need to have seen your doctor about it, and already tried two medications with no success.
You also have to have three check ups where you discuss what is happening with a psychologist.
Is it open to abuse? I think so. It reminds me of where the US was a decade ago, when doctors were giving out weed cards for just about any condition that they came across.
They don’t sell edibles, but you can get oils/tinctures and nasal sprays as an alternative, and they also insist that your weed must only be vaped but good luck enforcing that. I don’t even own a vape

No worries, feel free to ask.
I’ve got a neurological disorder caused by nerve damage at the top of my spinal cord, which messes-up the signals that are sent to the brain. It amplifies my sensory system, so I have to be constantly careful not to injure myself as pain can be extreme and take months or years to go away. Sometimes things hurt for no reason too. I also collapse or lose my balance without warning.
It’s called Central Sensitivity Syndrome, with secondary Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue, Colitis and cognitive/neuropathic dysfunction.
I take a few things to keep surpress some of the symptoms but there’s no cure. THC Cannabis is the only thing that always reduces pain and it also helps with anxiety.
My step bro is at a Robbie Williams gig tonight at The Emirates and apparently he just brought out Wiley and Lethal B as special guests

I understand, from someone younger than me, that Wiley and Lethal B are rap-hop artists who sing ditties and release gramophone records that have done well in the hit parade.
One of those kits that I started to miss the moment I packed it away in the loft. It’s not my favourite but… oh the memories. Title races, getting to the final stages of the European Cup, signing the finest players. We’re nearly there again, keep the faith, the cream always rises to the top.

Didn’t know where to put this really (sorry if this is a bad place feel free to move)
I was just wondering if anyone has heard anything from @Phoebica. I know she was really poorly when she was last seen. I hope she is ok, just wondered if anyone knows her outside of this forum to tell us how she is doing.

She is one of a couple of people I’ve not seen post recently but I wasn’t aware that she was unwell.
Hopefully she’ll be back and feeling better soon.
Quite sure she mentioned she is fighting cancer.
