chilled artist Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 I'm sure they are TMCC under new management Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iShouldCoCo Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Yep, been with TMCC (now Lyphe) for a couple of years under Project Twenty21. I was able to get 60g a month for £300 (plus fees). Gorilla Glue and Green Gelato are the best I've tried in the NOIDECs range on the P21 formulary. The £150 cap on 30g has been lifted recently though and is now a minimum of 5% discount. Stock issues are still a thing. Lyphe/DG were unable to fufil my preferred script this month so I had a rewrite of different strains, which are more expensive. Hence me being back here. What else do you want to know? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystic_roots Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 I've been questioning if I should get booked in, but it sounds ridiculously expensive. How does it work in the work place and driving? I'd love to have a small hit in the day, it'd certainly make me happier and less anxious but I don't know where you stand legally if caught driving even with a prescription.

Don’t be driving with any cannabis legal or otherwise in your system, it’s not worth losing your license and all that comes with it, the limits ridiculous imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on the employer and the role. Some will be like 'cool, thanks for letting us know' and others will be like 'go home, you're suspended unril we pay our lawyers lots of money to try and get rid of you' and everywhere in between. The latter usually end up paying out and offering return to work etc... It'll take time. Driving, same as other drugs you are prescribed. Do not drive if intoxicated, use medication as directed by Dr etc. If you're driving erratically while stoned, you should not be driving. The roadside drug tests are not a sobriety/capability test and as far as I know, it rarely gets to the stage of testing levels of THC for med users. Police are the same, some will be like 'Oh cool, I've heard about this' and others will be like 'GET IN THE BACK OF THE VAN' - and everywhere inbetween. The latter usually end up returning the meds, apologising and promising to educate officers on the topic. Not heard of anyone being prosecuted for holding a legit CBPM prescription and meds fwiw.

Keye Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 You know, I've looked at getting a prescription. Then I saw a couple of companies at the Product Earth show and chatted with them, it was really interesting. But the thing that stopped me was hearing the DVLA are just nixing licenses on the prescription list. Is that fear mongering? Probably, but I think it might be a bit early for me to get in on all this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be a bit unfair if that was the case. (edit to add :- to be fair the medication the dr gives me (that i dont take) , I am unable to drive on that too as it is a controlled drug (pregablin) .. so... i dunno. I just want a prescription, to cover my self with the law. Just like with my tablets that i get from my legal drug dealer (DR) ))) Edited February 17, 2023 by puppygirl add more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dr gives me medication I can not drive on. Im lucky as i dont drive much. I like to walk with my dog. Or my partner drives. He is as clean as a whistle. So, either way im done. If its pregablin or cannabis its still the same charge. So i just dont drive, and when i do drive i dont take/smoke annnnnnny thing for at least 12 hours before i set off.

Sounds about right, its more or less what the nice lady on the phone said. I guess they cant take away anything because you use some thing for medication. Not when alcohol is sold in every corner shop anyways. They would have to take potential drinkers licenses away too just in case the do drink and drive in the future. I guess. The medication is delivered to your door. If you are driving and need to take a bit, take only whats needed and keep it in the tub with the label on. Its much safer than parking up on some street corner waiting for a kid , blacked out from head to toe on a electric mountain bike. Can i ask, are you a medical user and what service do you use? Please. Thank you. x x Edited February 17, 2023 by puppygirl 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally, most people have no clue about the 2018 Misuse of Drugs Act change to enable cannabis to be prescribed. It's bonkers. Yes, I am a medical user of a couple of years, I'm with Lyphe. If you're prescribed pregablin for pain, it's worth checking out Leva clinic also. Also, there's a good thread on Reddit on the topic of 'best' clinic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably, but I think it might be a bit early for me to get in on all this. I've not heard of that myself. Here's what I have read (from a Medical Cannabis and Driving Safety report on gov.uk): Quote 6.1 Regulations around driving eligibility Misuse of or dependence on cannabis is a basis on which the DVLA may refuse or revoke a driving license (DVLA, 2016). However, prescribed medical cannabis is treated differently, in line with other prescribed medications. The DVLA requires by law that drivers tell the agency about any medical condition that could affect driving, and for certain named conditions, depending on the class of vehicle and details of the condition and treatment, the DVLA must be informed (DVLA, 2021a) (DVLA, 2021b). The DVLA will make an assessment, which may involve tests or contacting the patient’s doctor. They may then revoke or change the duration of the patient’s license or require them to adapt their vehicle. Patients must also inform DVLA and give up their licenses if their doctor tells them to stop driving for three months or more, or a medical condition affects their ability to drive safely for the same period. The only condition requiring mandatory notification for which medical cannabis is commonly used is epilepsy (DVLA, 2021b). Most prescriptions are for conditions that do not carry a legal requirement of notification, although prescribers reported advising patients to notify the DVLA of their prescriptions to comply with the law and to avoid risking losing their insurance coverage in the case of a collision. The DVLA produces guidance for medical professionals on assessing fitness to drive, to help professionals advise patients on whether to notify the DVLA of a medical condition (DVLA, 2021c). This guidance states that “doctors and other healthcare professionals should”: • advise the individual on the impact of their medical condition for safe driving ability; • advise the individual on their legal requirement to notify the DVLA of any relevant condition; and • notify the DVLA directly of an individual’s medical condition or fitness to drive, where they cannot or will not notify the DVLA themselves.The DVLA guidelines refer to patients being “free from any medication effects thatwould impair driving” as a condition for continuing to drive or resuming driving followingmedication. The guidelines give an outline of the elements required for safe driving,(such as attention and concentration, good reaction time, and coordination) but it isdown to the individual driver to judge whether their ability to drive safely is impaired.Both guidance documents and interview participants suggest this judgement is oftenmade following discussion with the driver’s doctor. Participants commented on therenot being a clear test for impairment, though some mentioned the type of thing theywould advise patients to look out for, reflecting these element required for safe driving.One mentioned carefully assessing patients’ speech for slurring during consultations,particularly as a sign of impairment by traditional pain medicines. One key informantmentioned having to ask DVLA for direct guidance on several occasions as theinformation on their website was “unclear”.
