I suspect most of you understand the burning anger building in the pit of my belly that is building with each turn of the screws being instigated by the powers that be, and emporer palpatine of curaleaf.
gOOD NEWS......Some of the Brands ARE actualy non irradiated.
However, some that claim to be non irradiated use a process called 'cold plasma curing'(excuse me while i roll around on the floor laughing), that esentialy irradiates things at a 'lower' level so can be classified as not irradiating products. Maybe i have the science wrong, but the effects on cannabis are the same.
The best way to ensure your clinic bought marijuana is actualy medicinal grade, not shit thats been irradiated to make it pass muster, is this...
Look at/find/ask the packaging/production date, it will be hidden in the batch number on the pack.
Then look at the expiry date.
If the expiry date is less than 7 months after the packaging date, it is almost garanteed to be irradiated.
Cannabis shouldnt have a short shelf life, the resin its covered in we love so much is anti fungal, anti bacterial, and is specificaly produced by the plant to help protect it. It continues to do so after it is harvested. For a long time.

So you have some shit clinic weed?
What can be done with it? Can it be improved?
The answere is, possibly.
Take your irradiated trash,put it in a glass jar. Make it into a blackout jar with a card tube.
After the first 3 months, you could put a piece of stinky, dank skunk in with it. I didnt want to waste anything on it myself.
After 6 months it should be better than it was,(one lot seemed improved, one didnt. but it will still contain watever levels of debris were in there after irradiating, as well as the Unique Radiolytic Products left by irradiation. (But thats in almost all foods in the supermarkets anyway. Almost all fresh foods in supermarkets have been irradiated for many years).
Wether you would still want to vape it, personaly, nah. Might use it for edibles tho.....

It is actually the EU that forced Germany to back-track on legalisation. Fuck the EU!
American here. Why and how are Germany influencing your laws this significantly? I thought the UK left the EU so stuff like this shouldn’t be a problem? Excuse my ignorance!

It is the EU's unelected technocrats and its joke of a parliament dictating rules to all member states- which is one big reason why the UK left. In this case, the EU prevented Germany from legalising!!!

The EU is even imposing PLANT PASSPORTS which you can see stickered on house plants in supermarkets!! Plant passports. Just think about that for a sec. They are dangerously insane control freaks with a pathological aversion to nature and humanity...

Vast areas in southern Europe are devastated through EU policy and corrupt governments making deals. The devastation is through huge monocultures of olives, greenhouse tomatoes and now avocados, all of it grown so that northern European supermarkets can have these things on the shelves even out of season. And then there are huge areas turned into a desert so that vast windmill farms can be installed, via EU grants and deals with large multinationals using taxpayer money... see "Planet of the humans" docu about windmill farms and other "sustainable" technology....

BTW my philosophical leanings are towards "ontological anarchist" and NOT "right wing" :ko:

Wow thank you for your detailed response! That is insane, but, I am also very used to all of those practices living in the United States. It’s essentially the same thing excerpt with our Fed vs State government. People in New England HAVE to be able to have avocados!!!! No matter the time of the year!! I can go into hours and hours on why it hasn’t been legalized federally here… and I think it starts with $.

I wonder about that almost every day and I wonder if there is more to it than money.
The status quo is currently doubling down and trying to entrench their position at the top of the food chain despite a rising tide of change. So they are unable to essentially admit to their century-spanning crimes and oppressive, anti-human stance, and refuse to allow legalisation out of spite. Let's never forget how many millions of lives they destroyed over plants.... Paraquat spraying in Central America, anyone?

They did not go out of their way to make tobacco super expensive and hard to get in a pure form because they care about people's health.... They simply hate psychoactive plants and people using them because it harkens back to our indigenous roots which they are desperate to cut- so as to continue with their slave program....

I have been trying to figure out if something like this could work, and there is one up and running , although a bit far for me . We have the right to use our meds, as long as the proprietor/owner/manager of ANY prooerty/business permits it.
Vaping nicotine products is legal and not covered by smoking regulations. Although at the same time there is no legal right to vape medical cannabis where businesses dont allow it.
A work place would be different, they might HAVE to allow it by law as it is a prescribed medicine , or provide space to vapourise meds.
Need a map or list of UK places/businesses that actively permit and support legal medical cannabis patients to vape.
Need to find out if businesses are safe from procecution if they do not demand evidence of this , beyond maybe people signing a register saying they are a legal medical patient. Without having to produce evidence. Not all medical users have scripts yet.

Gonna call them see if they are still open for business. Anyone fancy at trip to plymouth for an afternoon of rig appreciation, medical cannabis appreciation and coffee ?
Used to be a brilliant club night down in Plymouth Hoe, in the old town right by the water looking out over the sound, called Jelly Jazz. Good night , Best music and loads of dancing. That was 25 odd years ago tho.......

Not laughing at you @PhilosoStoner , just the link. Why would anyone care what a has been brother of a front man of a band say about drugs laws?

What's this quote in that article?
While personal use of marijuana is decriminalised in the UK, Robin believes in the benefits of the bold step.

Last I heard it was still illegal *shrug*

Hehe, good old mirror!

I have no idea who they are lol, and I agree. So long as it's a positive attitude towards légalisation in the news, I don't care too much, though it's interesting that people don't know the law about it

I am a legally prescribed medical cannabis patient, but if I still smoked it, it would be illegal for me to do so.(as well as unhealthy and a giant backwards step, vaping is the best thing about having engaged with the legal cannabis system).
I wouldnt really call it legalising it for the patient. Only really for the medical industry, but it IS an improvement.

Most constabularies in the UK are unlikely to bother prosecuting for possesion of personal.
If you are green fingered, 7 plants and under, at i belive the figure was 55g of flower per plant max (think they include the popcorn buds) you would be classified as growing for personal use, and although prosecution is possible it is unlikely. Doesnt mean you wont get arrested and your house trashed. Then theres cautions and criminal records.
- De-criminalised does not mean legal. ( Even in Holland its not technicaly legal unless prescribed medicinal.)
8 or more plants and they can look at it as a criminal activity, cultivation with intent to supply. The level of severity goes up at 22 plants(i think cant face looking up on Gov.uk right now will find and post the relevant sections of the correct use of drugs act. I mean missuse of drugs act.
Been that way a while. Decriminalised. Just not very much. And not if they decide they dont like you.

The information in this post is only to warn of legal ramifications, not encourage anyone to break the law.

Anyone got any questions about being a legal medical cannabis patient, or the sign up process , problems and benefits feel free to ask. stuck with it well over a year. It is worth looking at and finding out if you qualify.
But Sapphire/Curaleaf...... Liers. I would steer clear.
Anyone got any questions about what to do when the police kick your door in and point a bunch of guns at you when your naked.
Wave your cock at them, and offer them a cup of tea.

Yeah sapphire have a bad reputation lol blocking non irradiated flower and stuff. If i were rich i would go Cardiff Cannabis Clinic as the man who is the specialist who assesses you for other clinics owns the Cardiff Clinic with his wife and is a gentleman. Thats who did my online assessment and it would mean your 90 day follow ups would be with him too i Guess? Where as now my 90 day followups are done by a doctor employed by my clinic.


The best clinics prescribe anything you want from any brand, Im lucky mine do i even can request an extra tub to test a new strain and not replace my meds that work so a little extra every month. Where another clinic might demand you pay £75 to see a doctor to do that or not allow any amount over your prescription. Im very happy as you can tell. :p

This month, Ive gone entirely non irradiated. £80/10g of Breathing Green God Bud. I bet Sapphire clinic would freak out about that. Oh and they also freak out about mixing strains. They peddle some weird nonsense where for me the opposite works best. Rotating non irradiated flower every month is the best medical practice.

If I were rich i would buy a small valley somewhere and grow copious amounts of Cannabis, or maybe buy a dutch Coffee shop and live above it.
It still seems ridiculous there being any need to be 'legal', somehow seems even more mad that there are still less than 28,000 people who have tried legal prescriptions, and only half seem to use it regularly. Even If it were legal, if the medical industry sorted its act out people would use it more to access cannabis IF the quality and advice was good.
At least it seems ridiculous till you have tried some of the rather old literaly soon to be burned rubbish that is sometimes presented as medicinal cannabis, and heard some of the non-sense that is used to convince people that low grade trash is high grade medical Cannabis.
Some of what is on offer is good, but there are limited options if you want non irradiated and not over trimmed. And reasonable quality.

Having access to a couple of varieties at a time is good, even if You have to double up on your prescription and get it half as often.
Vapourising allows for some manipulation of effects, you can always decarboxylate your meds if you need something more sleepy, although the opposite is not true, you cant change CBN back into THC. Older stuff is always CBN heavy.
Thats why UK Clinics and the UK medical cannabis industry in general need to up their game if they want more clients.

Yup, still not listening to advice, and now they've started to hide the advice from the public?! What are they sooooo afraid of?

Giving power to people (experienced weed peeps) who arent aligned to their political or economical agenda.

They cant avoid it though, its just a matter of time.

CBD Ethics in Brighton recently stated in their IG stories that anyone with a prescription can vape at their shop.

The last quote made me laugh. Not funny haha just what a fucking state this country is in:
“Sussex police’s professional standards department rejected a complaint about the incident from Taylor, saying in an email seen by the Guardian: “I am afraid that police officers cannot be expected to know about every aspect of every law that affects UK citizens.”

How can they enforce the law if they don’t even know it

Yeah man, I chuckled at that last paragraph too! Here an idea, find out before persecuting citizens!

I guess it doesn't surprise me either though, I think I would be just as discrete as I am now if I had a legal prescription.

It's really not, so many people who use weed don't even know, never mind general population.

Of course public knowledge has no bearing on the police knowing which laws exist.

With articles like this in the guardian hopefully its only getting better
