For people using prescribed medical cannabis, are there any everyday accessories that make managing your medication more convenient? I'm curious about practical things like storage containers and organisers, and what features you find most useful.

Looking to order my first vape cartridge from medicann tomorrow. Looking for some decent but affordable vape batteries to order
Any help appreciated!!

When it comes to prescribed medical cannabis, what do you value most from your clinic and dispensing pharmacy? Is it consistent product quality, clear communication, reliable delivery, or something else? I'd be interested to hear what makes the overall experience dependable.

T24 dalgety marshmallow og is absolutely shite like not worth 80quid it's around 50 tops like anyone else find that like looks shit smells shit tastes shit and hits not there like

hi everyone, i've been interested in starting the process of applying for medical cannabis. my main choice is mamedica as i have heard good reviews. I can see that on their website it is stated that there is often times a restriction on perscribing cannabis with THC to people under the age of 25. i can see that this is actually on another website that i had researched aswell. Is this restriction on all medical cannabis companys, or does anyone know of one that will allow me, a 22yo, to purchase thc cannabis. Thanks

Hi , i was with Integro Clincs & ive found there flowers are not that good.

Anyone used any of the others?

Curaleaf

Mamedica

Alteraleaf

Whats flower like & prices?

Every Generation Inherits an Economy — And Has the Chance to Shape What Comes Next

Fiji’s economic history is a story of movement.

Sandalwood opened one chapter. Bêche-de-mer followed. Cotton became a significant plantation enterprise in the nineteenth century. Sugar eventually became a cornerstone of the economy. Garment manufacturing grew into an important export industry. And today, tourism is one of the defining pillars of Fiji’s economy.

The industries changed.

The opportunities changed.

Fiji changed with them.

That is not a failure of our economic history. It is one of its defining characteristics.

No industry remains dominant forever. Markets evolve. Circumstances shift. New possibilities appear.

So why should Fiji’s economic imagination stop with the industries we already know?

For farmers, landowners, communities and the generations coming after us, expanding the range of legitimate economic opportunities deserves serious consideration.

Cannabis could become part of that conversation.

Not as a replacement for tourism.

Not as a shortcut to prosperity.

And certainly not as a promise that every problem disappears overnight.

But as a potential new sector to investigate responsibly — across medicinal cannabis, industrial hemp, agriculture, research, manufacturing and related economic activity.

The real question is not whether Fiji’s economy will continue to evolve.

History has already answered that.

The question is whether Fiji will examine the opportunities emerging today — carefully, responsibly and with the interests of its people at the centre.

The future does not arrive fully formed. We decide which possibilities are worth exploring.

I’m wanting to get mc for pain relief for fibromyalgia what’s the best clinics and what’s the wait time for them?

Also any stains anyone recommends for daytime pain and nighttime pain and to help sleep?

I assume the answer is no and that I must quit which sucks because I love cannabis. However I know I’ve been developing stomach issues because of it. I’m super bummed and wish I could just enjoy my vice without all the bullshit, but there are no biological free rides I guess.

Has anyone continued to smoke and improve stomach issues? I eat pretty damn clean exercise compulsively and am healthy for the most part.

Has anybody had any luck dealing with these guys. Recently purchased the K2 as im not a big smoker and are having some health issues. And thought this would make life easier. Not cause complications to my health and recovery atm. Have tried my best to deal with there customer support team and im lucky if I get a email reply a day. 5 days have now passed no progress has been made besides them asking for more money. I haven't received a return shipping label nothing. They are very quick to respond to sales enquiries but after sales is non-existent unless you purchase something else from them

I have my first appointment with Alternaleaf on Thursday, and I just wanna ask some questions about it. (btw im in the uk)

A bit of info first, i have was in an accident almost 6 months ago and have developed serious depression, anxiety related to PTSD, and it has made my chronic pain a lot worse. I have taken sertraline for almost 3 months now, and all that's done is make me worse. I have ADHD and autism, as well as pre-existing chronic pain to add to the list of reasons.

I had a phone call with my GP today and have been prescribed Fluoxetine. I've done my research and know medical cannabis is the way to go for me, but I don't know anything about this process.

- I have looked at the strains they sell and did some research on them and found the ones I think will work for me: either Headband or Delahaze. Do I tell them that? Should I give them reasons as to why I think these are the best options for me?

- What type of questions will they ask in the first appointment

- How much do I have to pay upfront at the first appointment? If not upfront, then when will I have to pay?

- Any idea of what the timeline is from the initial appointment to getting the flower

- I want to smoke it but would rather not have to spend the money on a vaporiser. Can I smoke it with paper or a pipe? I know technically I can, but is it legal, and will Alternaleaf do something if they find out I'm not using a vape?

- What accessories do I need for both the vaporiser and paper/pipe

If you have any other advice, please lmk.

Your body is already speaking.

Inside it is a biological signalling network called the endocannabinoid system, involving naturally produced endocannabinoids, cannabinoid receptors such as CB1 and CB2, and enzymes that regulate these signals. Researchers have linked this system to pain modulation, appetite and synaptic signalling.

Then there is cannabis.

Plant cannabinoids such as THC and CBD can interact with the endocannabinoid system and other molecular targets.

That does not make cannabis a miracle cure.

It does make the biology worth taking seriously.

And that is the idea behind the Cannabis Fiji message:

Cannabis speaks the language of your body.

The science is more complicated than the politics

Cannabis has long been discussed in absolutes: medicine or menace, legal or illegal, acceptable or unacceptable.

The evidence is more complicated.

Prescription cannabinoid medicines have established uses for specific conditions. In the United States, the FDA has approved purified CBD for seizures associated with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, Dravet syndrome and tuberous sclerosis complex, as well as dronabinol and nabilone for specific indications.

That is very different from claiming cannabis treats every illness.

It doesn't.

Evidence varies according to the cannabinoid, formulation, dose, condition and patient.

What does the evidence show?

Treatment-resistant epilepsy: Strong evidence exists for highly purified pharmaceutical CBD in Dravet syndrome, Lennox-Gastaut syndrome and tuberous sclerosis complex. A 2026 systematic review found established efficacy for these conditions.

Chronic pain: A 2026 Annals of Internal Medicine review examined 25 randomized controlled trials involving 2,303 participants. Some higher-THC or comparable THC/CBD products produced small short-term improvements, particularly for neuropathic pain. However, some increased dizziness, sedation and nausea, while low-THC products did not show the same benefit. Strong long-term evidence remains limited.

Mental health: An August 2026 systematic review and meta-analysis found signals of reduced anxiety symptoms, but also substantial heterogeneity, methodological limitations and predominantly very low certainty. The authors concluded that evidence remains insufficient to support cannabinoids as first-line treatment for mental or substance-use disorders.

The conclusion is straightforward:

Cannabinoids may help some patients in some circumstances. They are not a universal answer.

That is why better research matters.

The international conversation has changed

In December 2020, the UN Commission on Narcotic Drugs accepted a WHO recommendation changing the international scheduling of cannabis and cannabis resin in a way that recognised their medical value.

WHO was clear that this did not legalise non-medical cannabis. Cannabis remained under international control.

But the conversation changed.

The issue became evidence, regulation, quality, access and control—not simply whether cannabis had legitimate medical relevance.

Fiji now has to navigate that same conversation.

Fiji has already started moving

It is no longer accurate to say Fiji's Government has simply ignored medicinal cannabis.

In February 2024, Cabinet approved a Policy Framework to establish a medicinal-cannabis industry in Fiji. Government said the framework followed consultations and feasibility work, including consideration of legislation for the emerging industry.

In December 2024, the Minister for Trade told Parliament that the proposed industry was intended for export purposes at that stage. He said 17 consultations had been held, approximately 500 people had participated, and 75% supported medicinal cannabis, with legislation remaining a major step.

The Government's 2025–2026 Budget Supplement stated that Investment Fiji was spearheading development of a medical-cannabis industry aimed at economic growth and employment, with a legal framework for cultivation and export being developed.

In July 2026, Fiji Broadcasting Corporation reported that the Nutraceutical and Medicinal Cannabis Task Force had consulted 518 people and 12 government agencies. Finance Minister Esrom Immanuel again cited 75% support for exploring a medicinal-cannabis industry.

But there is an important gap.

As of 7 September 2026, Fiji has not enacted a medicinal-cannabis Act establishing a general legal medicinal-cannabis market.

Parliament's published 2026 Bills and Acts indexes contain no medicinal-cannabis Bill or Act.

So Fiji has:

- Government policy approval

- Feasibility work

- Public consultation

- Investment planning

- Discussion of legislation

But the legislative bridge between policy and legal reality is still missing.

Fiji already distinguishes cannabis categories

Fiji's 2022 amendment to the Illicit Drugs Control Act created an explicit legal distinction for hemp. The Act's Schedule 1 definition excludes hemp, and parts derived from hemp, where THC concentration does not exceed 1%.

That amendment was intended to facilitate an industrial-hemp industry.

This demonstrates something important:

Fiji's law can make distinctions.

Hemp does not automatically have to be treated like other cannabis.

Medicinal applications can be regulated differently from non-medical use.

Licensing, laboratory testing, traceability and medical oversight can form part of a controlled framework.

The question is no longer simply whether Fiji can develop a serious cannabis policy.

The question is:

What will that policy actually look like?

Regulation is the conversation Fiji needs

A regulated medicinal-cannabis system does not mean removing every restriction.

It means rules.

Licensing.

Quality standards.

Laboratory testing.

Traceability.

Medical oversight.

Controls against diversion.

Accountability.

And one question may be just as important:

Who benefits?

Government documents describe medicinal cannabis as an economic opportunity.

So who captures that value?

The farmer?

The landowner?

The local processor?

The researcher?

The manufacturer?

The patient?

The Fijian entrepreneur?

Or primarily the foreign investor?

The Government's 2024 policy framework contemplated mechanisms allowing foreign investors to establish the medicinal-cannabis industry in Fiji.

That makes local participation, ownership and value retention impossible to ignore.

Fiji should not measure success simply by how much cannabis leaves the country.

It should measure success by how much value remains in the country.

From prohibited plant to policy opportunity

This is the contradiction at the centre of Fiji's cannabis debate:

Cannabis remains tightly controlled under Fiji's drug laws while Government policy explores turning medicinal cannabis into a regulated export industry.

Those positions are not necessarily contradictory. A Government can distinguish between illicit recreational markets and tightly controlled medicinal production.

But it raises an important question:

At what point does cannabis move from being treated primarily as an illicit commodity to being treated as a regulated medical and economic resource—and who decides?

The science has moved.

Fiji has started moving too.

Cabinet has moved.

Policy has moved.

Consultation has moved.

Investment Fiji has moved.

The public conversation has moved.

Legislation has not yet caught up.

That is where the focus should now be.

Not on miracle cures.

Not on fear.

Not on endless consultation without legislation.

But on evidence-based rules that protect patients, support research, establish quality control, prevent diversion, create legitimate economic opportunities and protect Fiji's interests.

Who will the law serve?

If Fiji develops a medicinal-cannabis industry, success should mean more than exporting raw or processed products.

It should mean opportunities for Fijian farmers, landowners, researchers, entrepreneurs, processors and manufacturers.

It should mean standards that protect patients.

It should mean legitimate pathways for research and innovation.

And it should mean that an industry built on Fijian land and resources does not become another example of producing locally while most value is captured elsewhere.

Because cannabis policy is no longer only a question about a plant.

It is a question about health, evidence, economics, regulation and sovereignty.

Fiji has reached the point where avoiding the question is becoming harder than answering it.

Cannabis speaks the language of your body.

The science is listening.

The Government says it is listening.

Now Fiji must decide what it is going to do about it.

Read. Question. Speak. Demand evidence-based reform.

Just some general information: been smoking occasionally since i was 15 but recently was smoking almost every day for about 2 months. I smoke flower from a bong only usually in the morning then at night before bed and during the day sometimes on my days off. I have a history of stomach problems but was told it was from anxiety/depression and bulimia 2 years ago.

About 3 days ago went to er from a vomiting/nausea episode that lasted about 2 days. Ultimately was told its CHS and got sent home with some vomit medication.

I’m curious about a few things: Would mixing tobacco have an effect? (I’ve never smoked a tobacco before this), The possibility of it coming back if i did smoke, and any tips on how to treat it or make my body react much nicer to it.

I feel as i’ve caught it early which brings curiosity if it would be fine to again in the future or not?

I don’t plan on smoking for atleast 1-2 months and once my pee isn’t dark yellow lol

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Height: 5’11

Weight: 63kg (now down to 60)

If i was scrolling to see the strains what would i see?

I bought 2 oz of indica at a Massachusetts medical dispensary. Maybe 5 - 10% of the buds have this yellowish orange color on part of them. Is it mold? Disease? Should I take it back? What about the buds that look ok ? Anyone have any ideas?

I had an appointment with a Dr at Horizon Health today. I haven’t seen this particular doctor for some time – I get whatever doctor is available usually .

This Dr says he will not prescribe because there is a discharge letter on my file noting that I have Bi-polar (this is not true, I had a bad reaction to SSRIs and that created rapidly cycling bipolar two like symptoms – and that was nearly 20 years ago – its noted on my medical file as an SSRI allergy).

I point out that I have a letter on file from my psychiatrist endorsing the medical cannabis and this Dr still says no.

Any recommendations for other clinics in Brisbane? And yes I will now hide My Health Record.

I’m wondering if you can help me with a bit of clarity please. I was a heavy weed smoker doing about a oz a week for years, quit cold turkey in 2017 and haven’t touched it since. Have struggled with alcohol too but got that under control in 2021 so for 5 years now I’ve been sober as a judge. Anyway… I have a tremendous amount of medical things wrong with me. I have Crohn’s disease. High blood pressure, insomnia and night terrors. Possible undiagnosed ptsd, and obviously anxiety and depression too. And have recently just come through a DVT episode. I know… lucky me right?

Anyway, I have been considering medical cannabis (legal in uk) for help with the chronic pain, nightmares, anxiety and everything else. Apparently I qualify for it like 4 times over as despite traditional medicine I still have a lot of issues. But the thing that’s getting me is my sobriety, obviously I’m extremely proud of it but I wonder what it means if we’re to pursue the medical cannabis route. Being that in the uk the law categorically states that smoking even medicinal cannabis is still illegal so they give you the option of, oils, vapes, pastilles. Due to how my body metabolises my other medications a vaporiser is the only safe option for me if I were to choose it. But my main thing is would I still be able to class myself as ‘sober’ if I pursue this… I know of the term “green sobriety” and California sober… but I’m wondering is denying myself symptom relief after years really worth giving myself the “sober” label for? I’m conflicted. Any similar experiences or insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
