This card seems to be based around stop and search protocols with the police.

Possession and cultivation is still illegal in the UK.

Only medical cannabis that's been approved under the law is via prescription from a specialist GP and it's synthetic.

From what I can see, I would qualify for this, your go only has to confirm that you have been diagnosed with on of the things on the list, I have at least 3 or 4 of them lol.
It's my understanding that if you have a card, the police have an excuse to let you go, the police in my neck of the woods have a well deserved reputaion for being a bunch of bastards though.....
I guess the worst thing would be if the card database was made public/utilised by law enforcement. ..

yeah never been caught with a large amount bit police can be dicks .. however I know of a guy let's say a medical facility went out of business so I've heard but anyways he had like 25 lb of marijuana and at the time I think he had like 16 pounds on him and someone called the cops on him and he had a license for 25 lb or something like that and the cops left them alone but I could see how cops can be dicks

And not to mention when I was got my card I believe from a homeopathic I think it was one of those natural doctors and after I got my card they tell you to go to this company and it's anywhere from $7 a gram to $14 a gram then I was like well I can't afford this I can get it cheaper on the street and they're like oh you don't know what you're getting Volvo on like what can you tell me what chemicals you're growing your marijuana with and they couldn't answer my question I said that's my point exactly I would rather grow and then they still give you a paper so you can submit it to grow a certain amount

This card is basically for people who can't afford a private prescription in the UK to let the police know that you have a genuine medical need, what they do with that is still down to them though....

So my GP knows i take cannabis for med and she knows i make canna capsules and tinctures as well with it, my old GP who has retired now knew i grew it to make these meds and when i pluck up balls i shall let my new GP know this as she knows everything else about it. But in doing all this i quit opiates, were talking 80 to 90 mls a day which Doc thinks is bloody awesome. Point being fuck canna cards this that and t"other till its for real and not bullshit, if my door comes in here ill just tell cops what goes and they`ll soon be in a quandry dying to get outa my house lol. Iff i end up in court theirs no judge in land will convict me cus its all their in black and white from my Doctors. Just play your GP let them know crack, believe me every Doc ive let know all seem really interested in jobby and are open minded.

I recently had and mri scan for crohns which dont get better but gets worse. Anyhow done lots of reading up on it all and set out to do same shit these Israel Uni Scientists did with tests using weed for crohns. So long story short most recent scan says theirs no sign of crohns, so i said to my crohns specialist "i thought crohns gets worse not better" he said "hmmmm yes it can go into remission though" summink i didnt know, anyhow i got into why i was taking canna meds for it, i think he thought i was just on about cbd legal kind cus he said "it ok for pain", i says "no im using full spectrum of ganji med stuff from plant" in not so many words and ,i told him of anti inflammatory effects of thc, he was really impressed and has kinda got me on board for more tests, so next jobby is a CT scan and so on, where it will end fuck knows, but lets see hey...............All i know is crohns pain is no more, specialist aint talking about shit bags stuck on belly to me anymore and im not scared to fart out loud. Not really about legalities of weed that paraghraph but i thought it pretty cool so why not hey.

To sum up don`t be scared to get GP to stick it down on your records that you use ganji for meds, i insisted they did. Kinda covers me if shit ever goes tits up with po po coming through front door, i like to think so anyhow :) .

I'm so glad it's help your crohns, that's some nasty stuff.
I like hearing others stories of how cannabis has helped them medically, maybe we should start a story section on here, could feed the landing page as well, medicinal cannabis is certainly in the news atm.

I have actually been thinking of speaking to my go about weed the next time I see them, problem is I don't think I have seen the same one twice in this surgery

Your allowed to see a GP of your choice and not their choice. Pick one butter them up and bingo, i swear ill only see one unless its for summink crappy and standard stuff i dont mind who i see. But i`ll tell them i think they`re crap and rubbish if i think they are or see them clock watching, it does my nut in if i see one clock watching, 8 mins an aoppointment and only one problem can be disscussed, like fuck i put up with that. My usual old school GP still asks if theirs anything else or other problems she can help with. Healthcare is fucked getting fuck`ter in UK, but tis what it is hey....I find its the younger GP`s try to stick to those guidlines.

The gp system is a mess, when you have chronic health issues, just discussing one thing is impractical and you are lucky to get one appointment to riches anything, the best consultation I have had at my current surgery was actually a phone call during the first lockdown!

@2-Scoops It is fantastic man that weed has made your crohns disease go away. Really happy for you to say the least.
It's a bloody marvelous plant we all are using and growing.
