    ### - (slider briefly emerges from behind a cloud of marijuana smoke
    haha...)

    sheesh, this last week has been dizzying haha, so much good gear in such a short space of time has me floating around on one of those clouds haha, whoo-weee, but it's actually all a bit too much?

    coz usually you score something and you might have it for a week or more
    before looking for a top-up, and be happy if they've still got the same
    one from before coz at least you know what it's all about, and that's how
    it's always more or less been, for ever?

    suddenly now, however, there's the possibility of having something
    different every day, all of them knock-outs, how do ya handle that??

    when i was in amsterdam one time i stayed with some people there and saw
    how they lived, and even though there were always several different types
    of good gear available (in them days maybe as many as 20 different types
    and i was going around trying them all) what they typically did was to
    have their daily smoke of one particular kind and stuck with that,
    generally ignoring all the others on offer unless perhaps told about some
    one particular thing people were maybe talking about (they have an annual competition in holland called the cannabis cup for instance, and perforce everyone wants to try the winning strain)

    my own compromise then, being to do one on one day, a different one the following day and another one on the 3rd day and not mix them up, only
    it's still too much as each one is actually pretty powerful and takes a
    day to begin getting used to, doing a different one the next day resetting
    that again and then that's 'another' day spent stoned...

    not that am complaining mind you lol, it's just that life has suddenly
    become all about getting completely fucked-up every day LOL ! it's all
    i've done for nearly the last 3 months! :D :D :D

    the problem being have currently only tried 9 of them out of a total of
    128 available, so this could literally go on for months before
    choosing/finding a daily one? 3 months already being more than enough of
    this malarkey, kinda thing...

    just about any of the last 3 would likely suffice though, and that
    candy-store has been there all along and is still very nice, so maybe candy-store could become my staple for now with an optional 10g of
    anything else thrown in just to try-out occasionally...

    it's a little bit expensive but that could work :)

    ### - have just ordered a Vapouron Digital Scales 0.01g - 200g from these people (£14.99) as all of my prescription tags are marked with
    instructions as to dosage...

    e.g., one says:

    Use 0.02g dried flower to vape when required as directed by prescriber.
    max 1.5g daily

    and am wondering just how much 0.02g is or looks like? 0.02g requiring a
    fairly accurate scale to get down to only 2-100ths of a gram, which at
    £6.50 a gram works out to be around only 13-pence worth??

    13p worth per hit? wtf! lol that can't be right??

    can get maybe 5 joints from a single gram, if it's good! that's 0.20 per,
    and they're suggesting that 10 times 'less' than that is enough for a hit?

    lol you'd need 9 MORE hits at that rate just to average a standard joint
    innit haha :)

    although smoking it neat 'is' a bit different (it's stronger) but is not something i like to do except on special occasions so maybe 5 hits of
    0.02g is plenty, but certainly looks like fuck-all (2 crumbs literally)
    when i break a gram up into approximately 0.02's worth, hence getting the scale...

    (i can just see it now? - it's for my medication officer! honestly! haha)
    :D

    re the legal side of things: i have considered walking into a cop-shop and asking them outright what would happen if i was found with all these items
    but had this medical license? different things are said about it online as regards possession and driving etc, but methinks i'd like to hear it from
    the horses mouth directly so to speak?

    there's no reports of people with a medical license getting arrested or charged, either at home, on the street or driving, but again i'd still
    like to know their 'official' stance on the matter because i do drive and
    weed can remain in your system above legal limits for days!

    have been carrying my prescription around with me outside just in case i
    get a pull anyway, but which has yet to be tested ya know? this particular company doesn't seem to want to supply an actual medical card either, all
    you get is the prescription itself detailing the items, so all their fuss
    about having some photo-ID at the beginning was apparently only for their
    own purposes of verification (which is actually a bit disappointing as i
    was expecting an actual card), or maybe you get one after 3 months, i
    dunno!

    other company's have cards, you can see people waving them about in their adverts, so why not this one? duh! lol i was looking forward to having one
    of those and showing it off to my friends :)))

    ### - well it's coming up to reordering time again folks heh (5th april
    next):)

    this particular company sending a timely email through announcing that
    they'll knock £7.50 off my next order provided i purchase 3 items from any
    one of 4 particular suppliers lol...

    "We're giving you £7.50* off when you purchase 3 products from: Upstate, Sundaze, Craft Botanics or Circle.

    If you’re interested, add these to your next repeat prescription request,
    or mention them in your next quarterly review appointment."

    can't see a reason for it though such as old stock nearing their expiry
    times or whatever, as many of those suppliers products are fairly popular,
    2 of them a new additions only just last month (ghost train and pineapple
    god) so why the offered discount i dunno?

    the ones have researched for my next selection being as follows:

    Ultra Sour £60 4c labs
    Candy store £75 sundaze
    delahaze £65 aurora
    pineapple god £69 upstate

    only two items being from the discounted suppliers list meaning i won't
    get any discount this time, price becoming more of a consideration as i
    reach the higher shelves, especially as all the very lowest priced ones
    have sold out almost immediately, their latest addition for £4.50 a gram appearing and disappearing inside only 1 month between prescriptions ffs!
    i didn't even get the chance!?

    perhaps that's even the reason for these discounts then? although 7.50
    doesn't fully compensate for the difference between £45 and say £60 but
    does bring it down a bit, but only applies to four of their 11 suppliers...

    as for the previous lot, ghost train was actually very good (still have
    some left) as is chemnesia haze (strong shit), lemon glow skunk was nice
    but kinda short-lived and/or was probably not the best example of that
    strain then, and candy store is just as-good as ever a very nice smoke, uplifting, clarity, good for getting things done and very tasty to boot -
    and which for some reason reminds me of old school red-leb hash, both for effect and taste...

    (remember red leb thang? a good one of those was prolly my fav, the more
    ya handled it the darker/redder it got, and was like smoking sweet
    sherbet, fizzy dope we called it hehe) :)
