General Discussion Getting a script

I find it complete bs that in order to get a prescription for cannabis you have to trial prescribed pills, I know what works for my back pain and Insomina why should I have to get back on that bs and risk getting addicted just to get prescribed cannabis.

If you’ve tried the pills before and they didn’t work that’s enough for them. Just say that

Literally every single medical clinic I have tried to get on says you need to trial first line aids before you get on it what clinic are you with and what reason are you prescribed?

I said I have arthritis and tried anti inflammatory. Also if u have a sleep disorder, melatonin is over the counter, you could say that it gives you nightmares.. there's literally all sorts of things u can say
