Question

A couple of months ago I asked my GP about obtaining cannabis to treat my ongoing symptoms.

"Ohh ahhh, I don't know anything about the processes, I wouldn't know where to start..."

Being that I'm in SA and there being no clinic's here (our state Gov't (Liberal) still have their heads buried firmly up their own arses)  I thought the whole process would be a waste of time

I went investigating and found a clinic in NSW, who would go through the whole process online.

 

So after a couple of weeks of paperwork both from myself and my GP, today I got the call from the clinic and have had the initial approval.

I now have to obtain the approval from the TGA but from what I've been told this should not be a problem and should take less than a week.

The Dr I spoke to has told me that what he would be prescribing is a CBD and THC combination as my situation is pain related.

I asked the Dr about the cost of the medication itself as it is NOT on the PBS and I have to say it is NOT cheap.

The Dr himself would not actually tell me a defined cost but advised me to call the chemist in Victoria.

Upon doing so I was told $270/50ml + postage ($30), so $300 delivered. First thought "Fuck, it'd be cheaper to go buy an ounce" but have decided to follow through with the process.

 

At this point I have not been told of the recommended dosages, so how long that 50ml is going to last I am unsure.

I am also unsure if I may be able to get my local chemist to get it in for me or whether it needs to come from an approved compounding chemist, solely in Victoria.

 

So the processes have been started. The dr and the prepaid TGA approvals have cost me $550 so far (that's without the script itself), so let's see how much more it's gonna cost

When I have any further info I will let you all know.

 

Just thought others maybe interested

What an arrogant statement to make Pedro. Only someone who has NEVER had to deal with constant, uncontrolled, nauseating pain could say such a thing. Unbelievable 

Pain maybe a rush for an hr if you're lucky, but when it's a constant, persistent, mind bending pain it gets real old, real quick

I'll give you this pain Pedro any day of the week you want and we'll see how you manage. I'll tell ya Pedro it ain't no walk in the park.

 

UN FUCKIN BELIEVABLE YOU ARROGANT PRICK

 

And this is why I only see that twit's posts when someone quotes him... he's a sociopathic cockhead.

My pain would be  a 4 on the pain scale, I.E. pick a number any number will do, between 1 and 10, I don't want pain killers tho lol

In no way could I compare my pain, to your "being fucked in the head" not sure what it is ?, but me Uncle had a brain tumor, I got a little bit of a perspective into it ??? 

 

But I've been through a few years of "pain" pick a number ? for 37 years ?, happy to swap for a day, would you like a good day or a bad day, bad day you might not be able to get out of bed, walk, stand or sit down ???

who knows one mans pain tolerance and what ya number is

 

 

no opiates here for 33 years, except for 2 panadol +, a needle pf morph ?, and a needle of peth ?, on the 3/4/12/2003, all at the hospital lol

 

 

good to seeya back Merl1n, the kindness award was always going to wear off after awhile 

 

Its always a 4 no matter what it is hey, use the force hey mate 

 

It was a quote from a mate of mine that had he's arm ripped off, I've never forgot it, it was "might as well try and enjoy it" not maybe

There's a difference kindness and honesty Pedro. I was being honest.

yeah, you were being honest in your beliefs, whether that's the facts only me or you would know ? 

 

Who's to say I'm not a "kind" bloke ?, I could be hey, don't judge a book by its cover "online" ?

I'm generally honest, seems to get me in the shit tho lol 

 

You know I love ya merl1n, you try to be a good bloke thru all the shit yo go thru, and succeed most of the time, but ya need to let it occasionally (anger ?),  out or you will explode in rage 

 

I'm here to help hey  :friends:

General Hydro are sucking on monsatos cock and even David Watson the renowned cannabis breeder is copping Bayer beef in the ass.

Yea, well, that's been the argument for a while now. Big corporate canna has been ready for years be that pharma or mega companies like Coke and Monsanto. But I think the multinationals are waiting for the UN to change their view/ policy. If there's a $$$ to be made you'll be sure to see the big boys.

It will be interesting to see how govt's of all persuasions handle the canna issue with the corporate world. It would be nice if, for a change, they'd lock the big boys out and leave it for us, but unlikely lol
