I've not posted here for quite a while but this news is to good not to pass on, after a long long sometimes agonising fight i've finally been prescribed Sativex a cannabis based medicine. I'm the first person within my Primary Care Trust to be given it outside of those that took part in the trials.

For me personally its a life changing drug that will not only ease my intense and sometimes soul destroying pain but will allow me to rejoin the work place.

If you're thinking about using it i say go for it its brilliant.

Very Happy

Good news, glad it helps! Me, I'll stick to extracts of my own directly from the plant.

Excellent news there.

Could you tell us some more about it, how you got it, how you use it, how it works on you ......... you get my drift.

Anything you can tell us is of help as there are many of us who have been waiting for this so we may benefit too.

To get prescribed sativex you will need to find a specialist for your illness that is willing to do so, then in most cases they will have to put it to a panel of one sort or other within your PCT. Some will want you to try all sorts of standard treatments first and even then may well resfuse, if this happens you can appeal, its a long drawn out process, in my case it has taken years.
If you are successful you will provbably have to go through councilling for it first.

Sativex is made up as follows

Cannabis sativa extracts containing 27mg/ml delta9 THC and 25mg/ml CBD.
Each spray dispensed contains 2.7mg D9 THC and 2.5mg CBD, it also contains 50% v/v ethanol and propylene glycol, and is flavoured with peppermint oil.

It comes in 5.5ml vails with a pump head.

Although it remains unlicenced within the UK if prescribed the home office will automatically issue the relevent licence to cover the Dr/specialist the phamacist and the patient.

Thank you, thats very helpful.

I had my GP volunteer me 3 times to GW for my M.E. condition. They never once responded.

I have to ask, its the most obvious question, ............. is there any noticible 'high' after taking it ?

Ethanol and propylene glycol? Shit....that's more dangerous than it's worth.

ALL prescription and non-prescription drugs are designed to make profits for big pharma. ALL of them are 100% totally dangerous and should be avoided at all costs. ALL of them. They are designed to suppress symptoms, but ALL have serious negative side effects. The side effects create new conditions where more drugs can be prescribed and more symptoms will arise yet again.

There are NO SIDE EFFECTS to ANY drug. There are ONLY effects. So called "side effects" are just not the result a drug is sold for. Many drugs are relabeled to be used for numerous things based on crap science and bullshit "studies".

Anyway, propylene glycol is dangerous. Probably another cancer causing agent. Just about everything we touch today is poisoned. Here's a quip about pg:

Not a problem friends. Cancer, heart disease, etc are serious killers now days, and it's funny because 100 years ago they were NOT.

There is so much synthetic bullshit around us, it's shocking when you realize just how bad it is.

It's like I read somewhere "you don't get a headache because of a deficiency in aspirin".

All of that shit is categorically 100% lethal, and causes disease and illness. 100% of all pharmacueticals, over the counter or not. Then you have your everyday stuff. Go look at the soap you wash your dishes with, your clothes. Look at your shampoo, toothpaste, and everything else in your cabinet. Here we bathe and shower our skin (largest organ in our body) with not only these ridiculous products, but even the water. A hot shower vaporizes a lot of the chlorine and stuff in the water, and when the skin is hot, the pores are open, so simply taking a shower we douse ourselves HEAVILY with cancer causing agents both by breathing in the vapors, and absorbtion through the skin.

GET A SHOWER FILTER. Drink only 100% PURIFIED water by reverse osmosis or other means. I can recommend Aquafina water, which is thoroughly filtered 0ppm water. Eat 100% WHOLE ORGANIC FOODS as much as possible and avoid ALL others. The vegetables at the super market are all GM crops sprayed with tons of pesticides and fed with chemical fertilizers. It takes 5 apples today to equal the nutrition of 1 apple from 100 years ago.
