How to ask psychiatrist for cannabis prescription

[Chrystal]

I have been seeing a psychiatrist for 11 years this february i'm abit of a head case main problem is schitzophrania,major depression i have been on highest doses of antipsychotic and anti depressants for around 10 of those years

 

Now about 1 year ago my treating dr reduced my medication 1/4th the dose and around 5 6 months later i went off the rails like a absolute lunatic so me dr bumped up the medication again

 

Now looking at research on the medications in long term use they should be stopped after 10 years this is probably why the dr was reducing my medication, the medication has left me feeling motionless, unmotivated, find it hard to show effection and love new people to my life

 

The anti depressants are pretty much a root around they have done nothing for me

 

I have a appointment coming up and i think i am going to ask the dr if i can go onto the legal weed he will likely say no but what are some questions i should ask or tell him

 

Is there anything in particular i should mention?

I stand by my statement.

I was told this by a professor in psychiatry. I guess it really depends on the individual and their circumstances.

No doubt there's more to the Professor's theory, Pippin. But yeah, seems a bit of a odd route, considering risking a serious addiction.

 

I think i'd want to opt out if I was in such a situation, and with the capacity to do so.

Heroin wtf. No way...maybe 1 in 1000 get of that stuff. Jesus seen enough bodies over the years with kids crying cuddling their parents after a OD.

I to have heard first hand of the devastation herion can bring. Homes gutted, malnourished children and one or both parents feeding their addiction. Society has a roll to play here, and cannabis has for to long been lumped in with crack, meth and herion.

Yea and that's the problem. Powders are destructive, no argument there. But to then add canna, nahh totally different category

It's a bit like the way in which the Yanks class guns

Under the banner of Alcohol, Tobacco and FIREARMS (ATF). ATF?? more like WTF. When was the last time someone was shot with a ciggy or a bottle??

How the hell can firearms EVER be viewed in anything like a similar light to alcohol and tobacco is beyond belief. No wonder they have gun issues.

Maybe consider microdosing Crystal. Having tiny amounts, just so you notice the shift in mindset without being too fucked up. Small doses can tend to alleviate anxiety, negative thoughts. Too much can create paranoia and a sense of disconnectedness. Dose can difference be medical and recreational. IMO.

Yeah that sounds better Slim the only stuff available to me is commercial with high THC the only way i see my self trying a CBD strain is if i grow it my self, i live with other people and have been told no growing when i move so I'll need to t something up with someone else

 

have been looking at renting out in the sticks going solo not sure if i would get a bond on a place and donno how nosey the neighbours will be in the country but its defiantly something to plan down the tracks 

[AutomaticSlim]

Personally i found the only high CBD ive tried was a little too light on the fizz and im a bit over the high THC strains. Ive been really happy with the medium strengths, as i said, in teeny amounts when using medically. There a world of lovely hybrids for me to enjoy with a nice CBD profile. I think its a individual thing, anyone wanting to head down this path will have a nice time experimenting with what works best for them. Researching then growing your own strains is the go.
