Getting a presciption

“Your Curaleaf package will be delivered today by your local DPD driver. Remember your driver will need your PIN XXXX”.

A delivery driver was bringing a bag of ‘flower’ to my house. In the daytime. To me.

I had just had an operation (removing my ovaries and fallopian tubes), so still had pain meds in my system, I found this highly amusing.

There are rules with Medical Cannabis.

Curaleaf prescribe you a strain that is suited to your needs.

You have an online meeting (consultation) with a specialist Doctor, if eligible, they send you a prescription to pay for, then they deliver it to your home.

The Process

• Create an Account - this is done by linking via NHS (all legal) - by doing this it means they can have access to your medical records so can see what other medications you are on and what conditions you have which medical cannabis could help improve your quality of lfie.

• Complete a short set of questions and book an appointment - I paid £50 then decided it was better to do the £10 a month subscription (minimum of 3 months) so left a note demanding they did not charge me twice. They did not.

• I booked an appointment and was quite nervous. It felt really wrong and a little bit naughty. The consultation went really quickly and was fine, then Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) of doctors and pharmacists assessed whether medical cannabis was appropriate for me.

• A few days later they did, and I was sent a medical prescription.

• OH WOW. 20%THC cannabis. 20 grams. I thought this was rather a lot so ordered half costing £59.99 for 10g. Free delivery.

• It arrived a few days later with the DPD man, and it smelt and looked amazing.

• Now to play with my new toys
