Morning, not sure if anyone has any info on pain relief through medial cannabis subscription scheme.
Its stated on Gov.UK seems it’s seems above board for chronic pain suffers and the benefit for on going suffering of chronic pain..
please note this is not for me, but I said I’d ask here for a close friend of mine who is in full receipt of disability ..

My thanks to @ajn and @stav50 for starting this thread and the advice/info in here. I was advised ages ago that cannabis is a treatment for one of my conditions but, as we’ve seen, despite the “legalisation”, getting it on NHS is just impossible. I tried. Failed.
Was desperate so tried growing my own. This worked fine on primary symptoms, giving instant relief, unlike various NHS approved medicines. However, the whole process of vaping and the so-called “highs” were repulsive. Like @Ioniq I was unable to walk and dangerously confused. Obviously affects me differently to others – a most unenjoyable experience and to be avoided
Wanted to try something from a proper medical source but, at the time, only way to do this was through attending private clinics in central London. It is impossible for me to make that journey. So, very encouraged that Medbud and similar are working now. Will look into it via links here.
The condition is Willis Ekbom syndrome. aka the absurdly and inaccurately called Restless Leg Syndrome. That name makes people think you get an occasional itch in leg. In reality, it affects the entire nervous system and body and is a life-changing and sometimes life-destroying condition.

I’ve put this link in a different post in case WMC doesn’t want any links .
So it can delete if needed.
We're on the train to Bangkok.
Tharg I just want to point out it’s nearly all done by telemedicine and delivered by your postie ,you don’t even after leave the house .
There’s edibles, oils ,vape pens and flower and soon rosin ,quite remarkable really and we currently have a petition for grow your own for medical patient’s that’s progressing nicely .
I’ll keep poppin in and out ,but I am busy some days and am on the forum pretty much 7 days a week .
Also the CEO/Founder of medbud is on too pretty often with brilliant advice ,he’s razor sharp on matters.

I’ve got a friend with a medical condition that causes extreme muscle stiffness, he takes Baclofen but it barely works. He wanted to try Sativa but his Neurologist doesn’t prescribe it so he asked his rehabilitation doctor but he also doesn’t prescribe it. I doubt he could afford to pay for it privately. It’s a shame more NHS specialists aren’t supportive of it.
So far what’s come back is the doctor/surgery isn’t listed on the ODS system, so apparently there’s a form to fill out at the surgery on request..
Then was explained a 28 day wait for the information.
This information will then allow access for signing up to the medical cannabis sites available.
The clinic I’ve already mentioned works out £50/year or equal to £1/week for access then in this instance they feel they require Sativa strains say £60 for 10 grams is what I get of Sativa (High silver )
Depending how much they use it’s not too expensive and actually in this instance cheaper than the streets.
Costs have reduced massively ,even in the last year we’ve had flower products going for as little as £4/gram
We're on the train to Bangkok.
On a personal note the releaf advert at the top of the page ,we have many patients who sign up with them then come looking to change soon after because of costs and choice ,I wouldn’t recommend a friend going there although the actual service is pretty good and prompt by all accounts.
We're on the train to Bangkok.
Stav50 Thanks for you patience I’m the middle man here, right the releaf site is already proving difficult, so now the interest is deffo with what you’ve mentioned, firstly they couldn’t submit the form, but now apparently it’s been submitted to your your advised site.
Hello @Tharg no thanks needed, but glad the post could be of use to you, or at least point you in the right direction if or when needed.🌻
@stav50, Does the Sativa make you sweat? I tried CBD oil from Holland & Barrett but I gave up in the end due to excessive sweating, I was soaking in the summer.
The Sativa hybrid I use lets me get from morning to mid afternoon keeping anxiety in check whilst not getting high so to speak so I can go about my caring duties .
different oils have differing effects some will liven you up and may result in sweating but maybe you had too strong a dose? as you have to build up tolerance from 0 as my wife is gradually doing now with
THC10CBD10 oil with mint some will say this mild but eventually she go on a stronger one
with cbd oil on its own i’d be agitated and maybe sweaty.
Never sweated from cannabis flower unless being over the top with it.
As I say I’m in the community forum at medbud.wiki most the time feel free.
We're on the train to Bangkok.
Summary of care will need apply for if living Wale, Ireland or Scotland it seems..
Meaning applying to the doctor/surgery with ID needed.
Didn’t realise where you were .
That’s a downer but not an impossible task .
This is the only clinic I’m sure ,that offers this at present .
I literally phoned my GP surgery and they emailed it to me ,which I then uploaded.
No id needed for me ,but you never know.
We're on the train to Bangkok.
Well the process for them is to fill out a SAR = subject access request (I think) which can take 28 days to process before the release of the information of the subject of care form that’s needed to apply…
See Stav50 it’s great when people can help out eachother, it’s all a learning process for us all..😆👍
Yes i would suggest if anyone needs guiding onto MC I’m just 1 person , but the forum has people who now between them most things MC and the intricacies around situation’s like ajn mentions above .
Also like here members are very helpful and knowledgeable but with our own specialist subject lol
ajn I love it ,couldn’t feel prouder , I was talking at 12:30 am to a poster that just got his appointment after watching a patient/youtuber vid about our site ,then coming over on sunday and now he’s been told he’ll be prescribed already by the clinic and was just coming to thank us .
Needless to say we love it.
We're on the train to Bangkok.
Quick update..They applied to the Doctor surgery for the summary of care letter, took 5 days rather than the 28 day as expected.
So now I guess apply to the medical cannabis service..
Any updates I’ll post..
ajn that’s good to hear , hope all goes smoothly if you need any help ,just shout us .
We're on the train to Bangkok.
Thanks @Stav50 will do, also Thanks for your patience, help and understanding throughout their process, and any other replies 👍🎄
No probs ,happy to help ,just got to keep my eyes off the new cars . Got 2 years left on our lease.
We're on the train to Bangkok.
lol well I’m into my 5th year of lease come 2025, might start looking about Feb 25 for a new motor on the scheme or off it, not sure yet..
Update….
So after them taking a break for the Season celebrations, a telephone consultation, they have placed a first order, will be posted via Royal Mail under a signed for delivery with tracking..
This is great to hear as patients who access’s this medicine often find great relief and comfort from it and give them my best wishes and if they need any further advice or would just like to be in the community let them know we’re a welcoming bunch and they’re welcome on the forum as this for people seeking medical Cannabis as well as patients who are precribed it already , they will also find our site very useful on there journey as many patients do with stock levels and new products etc.
Great way to start the year for them .
We're on the train to Bangkok.
@Stavo50 ….Thanks so much for your help through those process, not sure if I mentioned they first applied to a different company, then decided your route and info a game changer so followed that route.
Great news though as they had a full refund from the other company.
@Stav50 wrong name posted sorry mate 😆👍
