Why don’t you want a prescription? It’s cheaper , not counterfeit and quicker to get from the doc. It’s all confidential so am not sure why you want to for the reasons above.

Having got diagnosed with adult ADHD yesterday and prescribed off the back of it, it's not quicker.

I started the process in may of last year and got my first apt yesterday so I get where Cannolad is coming from on this one

For me it was, I just went to the doctor and told him my symptoms and reasons, then I asked for pregabalin and he gave me my prescription. Another doctor from the same surgery said no before when I wanted a repeat prescription so I went back to the nice one:) easy peasy lemon squeezy

Apologies but it was my understanding that an official diagnosis could only be made by a psychiatrist. I have previously had pregabalin for pain management and it had some very unwanted side effects for me.

I'm glad you had an easy experience but it's not necessarily reflected in everyone else 😁

Agreed. Everyone’s different and had different doctors. For the record pregabalin is a horrible drug not to be taken daily as withdrawals can be worst than heroin or benzodiazepines. I only use about once a week on average as it helps with taking a T break or long plane flights or even stressful work meetings;)

I take it every day for anxiety. 300 mg twice a day. Sometimes I take both at once and it gives me laser focus, but it feels awful other than that.

Pregabalin helps my concentration problems abit but not as much as weed and as bigbum mentioned the withdrawals are like something else I get te swets if I’m just a couple hours late taking. On that note not recomended I guess 🙈🤷‍♀️

How long have you been taking it for? It really fucks you up if taken long term. There are support groups on Facebook to help with quitting.

I've been on it for years. I'd rather not need it, but high anxiety is a daily occurrence for me. Although I still get anxious whether I take it or not.

Exactly, your body is now tolerant to it. And now you only take it to stop yourself from withdrawals. The doctor has abused you. Sorry. Their are help groups on Facebook that I used to be in when I was having problems with pregabalin , good luck

Ahhhh I had 3 weeks of daily use as prescribed by the doc before I went back and asked to change

I have read that a lot of people get bad side effects. What did you get as an alternative?

For chronic pain, I have ended up being prescribed cannabis. That's after lots and lots of trying other things 🤷🏻

Wow I thought you can only be prescribed that if you have cancer, ms or epilepsy?

You are in the uk , right?

Yup I'm UK based

It's a private medical prescription thing

Project twenty 21 is the name of the scheme

Hopefully this is ok within the LB rules

I looked it up and they pay for some of it. Pretty good, what percentage do they pay? Also is the bud any good? BecUse I remember seeing it on the news and the buds weren’t all that .

I doubt this is breaking Lb rules;)

All the pricing etc is about to change and probably not for the better so ask me that again in march 🤣

When I saw it on the news the prices were higher than buying Cali from LB

Yeah some of the products are definitely up their cost wise, all the pharmacies seem to have different pricing and it's a clusterfuck of what's in stock and who's got what at the moment and everything has silly brand names so you don't know what the strain is and there's no bloody price list

Anyhow other than that it's excellent and some strains are £5 per gram

It's a start in the right direction but mired in red tape and profiteering at the moment... IMO

Looks really interesting. Glad you mentioned it.

Aye, got assessed and diagnosed last year privately, but switched to the NHS and have been waiting four months with another six to go.

Might have to just pay for another assessment, seems easier.

I'm waiting to see a consultant, appointment is July. Already diagnosed privately but Dr won't prescribe without the sign off from consultant. Got a project that really needs finishing before.

Go to a different doctor. Some are arseholes like that;)

I'm in a village in the arse-end of nowhere. There is no other doctor.

And that one is 20-30mins drive away.

But thanks man ;)

edit: Hope it doesn't come off as sarky. Not intended. Am afflicted with the 'tism too.

Is there only one doctor in your surgery? That’s unfortunate. It is easy to buy from India but I think you might be after controlled drugs which much more tricky online without a big chance you will be getting ripped off. I order from this website https://www.reliablerxpharmacy.com/

But it’s not a controlled drug I am buying from them, just something the doctor won’t give me;)

Have hopefully sorted it now via new assessment. Thanks.

There were a few people with modafil and the like at the bottom of the main page

I have some armodafinil already thanks.

i think the other flaws of communism would eventually come to the fore anyway. Would be very interesting to see what A.I does with state capitalism however.

The original term ‘communism’ is surely people living together harmoniously in a commune? After all communes date back to the Stone Age where groups co existed.
It worked throughout history, invaders and tribal warfare repeatedly tried to derail what was an effective system of existence….

Marx & Engels write quite a fair bit about this "primitive" communism. Its part the Marxist/Communist argument against Capitalism.

Im sure we have all heard the phrase "oh but capitalism is human nature" but this couldn't be further from the truth. Capitalism has only existed 200 odd years for most of Human existence we have lived in more communistic communal ways.

when Darwin said survival of the fittest, this was not him saying the strongest wins, it is the species being able to adapt and the adaptive trait that shot Human kind straight to the top was cooperation not Capitalism.

surely there is no single element to human nature when it comes to economics. of course people share as well as trade, hoard and borrow to keep it all flowing.

capitalism and communism both arise naturally, it's not hard to see their equivalents among animal populations that fight over the same resources that they share in other circumstances.

more communistic communal ways 200 years ago - what do you mean because serfdom is what comes to mind.

I said capitalism has only 200 years not communes existed 200 years ago. But feudalism was still more communal than Capitalism. Peasants worked together on a plot of land that they paid for and were not dragged off to choking factories and confined to dense urban populations like the 1800s.

Before feudal rule however & things like the Enclosures in Europe, tribal community was the default for most human beings.

I recommend reading Marx and Engels early works or if you prefer a more modern take there are plenty of authors who have covered this section of history.

"what if those people were a.i. programmed to control the system" - we have this part, try working for uber.

"at 0 cost" - this is the communism part. possible with open source ;)

Until technology is liberated from the capitalist mode of production & the private patents that create AI, then no. A.i under a communist government or socialist state could be used for good and help toward automation. Look to china where sophisticated computing has been used in public spaces to better traffic flow, keep public transport running and deliver goods and services. But A.I alone wont create communism. For communism to be achieved Revolution must happen first and the dominant ruling classes replaced so the means of production for AI are utilised by workers and not elites.

Also nice to know LB has comrades ;) nothing to lose but our chains baby !

not quite sure a.i. is thinking "under"

It could.

Capital owners already exploit technology to reduce costs and lay off workers, ai is just another part of that.

AI and automation could be used to give people more time off, pay more for less work, improve work life balance etc, or it could be used in the way described above.

As with a lot of things, AI could be used to benefit people or it could be used to make billions of dollars, or anything in between.

Do you mean people living in or taking part/contributing to a commune?

I have to say that I do think Tate is just a bit of a cunt. His apparent attitude (assuming he's not just a shit character) to women and general obnoxious manner makes it hard for me to feel any sympathy for him (or that prick brother of his), even if he is being 'unfairly treated' and 'cancelled' by the media.

Ironic that these types are always the same.
They complain endlessly about being grievously ‘cancelled’ and yet they’re never off the fucking internet complaining about getting cancelled and things that they don’t agree with!
The mind truly boggles.
It’s also a packed field at the moment, the usual suspects lining their pockets by sowing hate, prejudice and bigotry.
Clowns to a man….

Is this the rapist "tik-tok star" that I'd never heard of until now?

Internet celebrity worship has become the new far-right religion and it's getting dangerous. "Cancel" every single one of them, or just call it what is and say he got arrested for an international crime. Just because they dismiss reality to push agendas doesn't mean their crimes aren't real.

Tim Berners-Lee (sp?) has famously said that if he had known what the internet would become he would never have invented it. That quote was some time ago…🙉🙈🙊

Words of wisdom from polly here

The Internet is both the most marvelous thing with things like wikipedia (and littlebiggy :-) ) helping mankind advance but I am very critical in the way in which social media has brought us targetd advertising, fake news and the rise of populism.

I work in IT but have never used social media myself. As a rule of thumb I always valued my privacy ever since I started getting on the web in the 90s. Having administered many web sites over the years I know all too well was one can make out of web server logs.

Apart from that the only thing that I can say is that I do recycle my pizza boxes ;-)

Cheers

Social media has so much bad shit to answer for. Used it for my Djing & event promotion but came off it when stopped djing. Found it was like being back at high school, everyone forming cliques, a platform for narcissistic idiots and so on and so forth. Yes the Internet is great but by fuck it scares me at times 😲😲

I've avoided this "clown" (that's how he describes everyone) until few days ago when I watched interview with him.
To summarise 2h ish of bs delivered in shouting manner:
-he wants to rule the world because life is competition and he can completely destroy every clown
-we are (everyone with less money) losers of own making due to laziness or arrogance. You know we are too lazy to sign up to his get rich scam or too arrogant to learn from him how to earn £1m per month (amount required to live good life according to him).. ie again sign up to his get rich scam

Not even going into his attitude toward "females", it's pretty obvious.

It is absolutely amazing there are actually people buying into this and similiar shit. Human race is defo heading towards " Idiocracy" (dystopia movie)

It could be argued that making a shit load of money, having sex with beautiful women, being a world champion kickboxer and a top flight chess player, whilst driving a Bugatti...are (however shallow) not the worst things to aspire to.

But I do agree with both yourself, and Joe Rogan; the misogynist nonsense wasn't just unnecessary, but patently counter productive to his success. Just no need.

You can be firm, and assertive, some women like that, some men do too....but there's no need to be a complete piece of shit along with it.

This guy's definitely not met my wife! Who as a registrar pediatrician often runs an entire ward of an NHS hospital overnight... for 13 hours, on her own.

Thats real "top G" stuff.

She'd make mince meat of him. 😂🍖

Still, I can think of popular figures in the world that get far less scrutiny than Tate, but I won't go there....(meh, what the hell....fuck you Phillip Schofield).

Cheers BB 😊👍🍻

Yeah! Schofield, you massive C**T! Also, hats off and big thanks to your missus, mate. Much respect to the real Top G.

Top G....P 🤣

"Is the Matrix really trying to take him down ?"

I have to say that I think he's the poster boy for the toxic version of capitalism and individualism we are currently experiencing...but...having seen people I really admire being absolutely destroyed and wholly misrepresented by the press and establishment I certainly have to pause for thought when considering his predicament. As a side note I did think the Greta Thunberg 'small dick energy' tweet was a killer burn.

That was a cracker- a teenage girl completely took him down with a single line- he tried to come back but he had nothing…brilliant!🤩😂

Why is the left so interested in attacking masculinity ?

Why is there no further talk about Epstein and the real human traffic?

Why has Bill Clinton not been brought in as a nonce yet he visited Epsteins island on more than 5 occasions??

You may not like Tates opinions but he encourages otherwise low esteem lacking young men to go to the gym and take pride in themselves which I don' t see no talk of on here mention just your usual bullshit.

Some of you are too scared of the real truth.

The truth is the truth, the fact is he speaks a lot of truths that people really need to hear, especially about corruption!

i don't like the guy, i also don't really dislike him either but the the last thing i'll be doing is jumping on the hate bandwagon that the moron mainstream wants you all to jump on, are we really trying to cancel free speech? and people want to be on board with that?

let's be real, if Andrew Tate, met Andrew Tate, he would probably hate him lol

i vehemently disagree with some of his takes, and as i've already stated i genuinely don't like him, but he's still more valuable to society than 99% of politicians, AND, even if the bullshit sounding allegations of rape and domestic violence are true, he's STILL less of a cretinous deviant than 99% of politicians

I think what i'm trying to say is, direct your hatred towards the people that really, really deserve it

I think this guy pisses some people off because he speaks with an attitude & comes across as aggressive but in my eyes that’s just his character coming out as he’s fighting for all of us to make the world better & to protect our freedoms & free speech . To make people aware of the parasites who want to take this stuff away & a whole lot more .
The left are scared of him as he has a massive following of the youngsters who look up to him in uk & states . These are the future people who must know what’s going on in the world to preserve the good life for future generations many of us have hopefully enjoyed .
He tells the truth & the only thing he’s guilty of is trying to wake up the masses
To the left that’s a bad crime as there rotten to the core

Nowadays people get triggered by 'personas'. They consume tabloid media and are quick to give their opinions and judgements. These personas rarely match the real people. Those who have actually met the Tate brothers have stated they are incredibly gracious and polite. However, much of the guff has been debunked, and the current allegations are yet to be proven. "Top G" is Tate's buzz word. His social media was designed to annoy and inflame... Because conflict sells... And we all have something to say about someone who was unknown a year ago. The marketing worked... And Greta's tweet roast fizzled out of an old meme, while us boomers rolled our eyes with happiness and licked the windows with glee. Welcome to 2023. Innocent until proven guilty. I await the results of the case.

When I said 'tabloid'... I meant lurid and sensational.

I agree that he does say some things that make sense. I also agree It doesn't mean he isn't guilty,but it also doesn't prove that he is. I'm applying balance until he's convicted. Misogynistic rapist is quite a label... 'Misogynistic' is subjective and descriptive, that's your prerogative to think. However, 'rapist' is not at all subjective. It's a factual word. Not every misogynist is a rapist, but every rapist is a misogynist.

We need to make sure what we are accusing him of, what he's been arrested for, and why we all suddenly care about him.

I'm not a supporter. It's an interesting scenario to say the least.

Hope you have a good weekend, Ladyinred.

Still in jail... not looking good for him and his brother

Welcome to LB

It looks apparently like you may have had your first review troll based on the other scores

Good luck with it all

Don’t sweat it.

It’s a shame that those kind of reviews affect ratings but I expect most biggaz take a balanced view and ignore the ones that are obviously placed by a troll.

1 day to arrive certainly isn’t rubbish service and no details about why they think the bud is rubbish sets the alarm bells ringing.

Maybe cover your ass by having a history of minimum buys. I know it must be tough to balance getting plenty of sales and building a rep.

Good luck!

I think any Bigga can see through that daft troll comment. It’s the reason why some noob vendors often only sell to Biggas with a previous record of buys.

Don’t let ‘em grind you down 😉

Looks amazing not smoked it 1/10

Jk, welcome to troll / angry posters.

Legit looks lovely bud mate

Thank you for the reassurance guys, sounds like its a rite of passage!

Enjoying the blackberry kush mate, will write up tomorrow as that gummy you chucked in fucked me up a bit 🤜

Just an idiot...as others have mentioned we tend to ignore them!

buyers don't really take any notice its obviously a tactic to get your ratings down

Plenty of that on here mate..real ones will see through the waffle if the majority are high ratings

Sorry to hear LB scumbag vendors have got to you.
Happens to all new vendors. Fortunately most biggas are aware and tend to ignore the outlier reviews.

Knobhead can't even do a fake review correctly. Benefit of the doubt though, maybe when they edited it they deleted some words:

"IF YOU WANT Rubbish service and product. shop elsewhere to avoid disappointment!"

Don't stress about it too much. :)

Donkey butter is lovely, got edible to try too.
Very happy 10/10

As long as it’s a drop of 1/10 in a bucket of 10/10, no one cares;)

I feel like i've had the same trolls. I was tempted to list the usernames in case they are the same usernames trolling newbies.
Would this be good etiquette?

Think we just have to roll with it my friend, that sounds a bit too close to doxxing. Judging by the orders that have come through just today alone I don't think people are taking it to heart. Over time the weed, shrooms, etc. will speak for themselves

That would be the end of you mate to be fair, that’s not how it’s done here

All sounds good
Says on the Leb that it’s made with a delicate mix of live resin ..any more info on this or any bigga know exactly what this is ?

Im thinking its mixed with bho,but id like to see some pix and reviews before i make a purchase

Any pictures of the actual products would be amazing! Thank you DIUK!

Sounds magic 👍
Looking forward to sampling this 😋

Cant wait for you to try Kiltman ;)

peace

Coming today ;)

I can confirm that these are two amazing hashes! Hats off to DIUK for sourcing these.

Had an amazing weekend smoking these two and some of the White Tahoe Cookies, and been at them every evening since. I'd say the strongest I've had on LB so far. I'm still a bit dazed sitting now at half past four in the office!

Happy 120 I feel lives up to it's name and has made me very happy ever since :) Probably the stronger of the two. From the first puff you know it's a good 'un and the fun starts. Clean and complex flavour. Quality stuff, giggles, having to steady myself. Sit down with a smile, a deep sigh and let your mind run.

Coastal Cream w resin i think pips it into first place. This is something special, and I couldn't source something like this where I live in a million years. The flavour is sublime. The stoning is sublime, i just love it! I assume the flavour is enhanced by the addition of the resin, but i think the chef already had an amazing start product with his Leb Gold. Shared some with a few long term toker friends and had nothing but WOWs and rave reviews coming back.

Both are thoroughly recommended for the stash.

Thank you DIUK again, I'm very grateful to you for all you are doing, and currently saving up for some more, so please don't sell out! ;)

Hey Tom we are over the moon you had a blast at the weekend and thank you for taking the time out to share your opinion on this ;)
We knew these would go down a storm but your opinions matter more ..

Ps plenty of stock across the hash range

D I

Could they be better than the double zero from a couple of years back ? I had to get some of the Leb, looking forward to trying.

I know this is a bad reason but I had to grab an 8th to try just because its called happy hash haha :) Looks nice and crumbly too, looking forward to tying it out thank you DI!

Price for a half on the happy hash might be wrong tho? two Q's are cheaper.

Hey zz sorry for putting you in that predicament lol.
Yes we will have to get some kind of pic n mix for the hashes back up

Much love

d i

Aw no gutted 😞 you should be able no get it back if you message transaxe but not sure never heard of this situation before. Have you tried contacting the vendor?

DM transaxe support with the wallet you sent the money to, the amount, and the wallet you would like it returned to.

If it's been sent to a transaxe wallet I'm confident they'll be able to return it for you

Hello mate, I buy normal gummies, melt them, add either RSO or homemade oil, stir well whilst in a hot waterbath, concertina cardboard with oiled kitchen foil inside, pour in and chill for 10 minutes in the fridge!

For me it needs to have cbd in the mix, less i'm just messing around then i'll just inject my fav sweets with rso.
I've had The PumpJack Wellness oil bookmarked for a while now, gonna pull the bullet soon tho, and send myself into thc /cbd wellness heaven.
End of the day tho, edibles must have cbd for that special 'wellness' feeling it adds, a feeling like your body's saying 'thanks for the healing sauce my guy!'
I've many food allergies, so i gotta be careful, all these edibles with the three hundred odd ingredients; Petrochemicals, preservatives, flavourings, sweeteners, can fuck right off tho.
That is all.💫💥❤️

Chocolates are much easier if you're just after a easy way to dose mate.

I just mix ground up decarbed bud straight in together with cooking chocolate, in a pyrex glass bowl sat in a pan of hot water.

You can get Silicone moulds off eBay/Amazon dirt cheap in the shape of little weed leaves or even the shape of a chocolate bar to pour the mix in to set.

Ignore all the confusing bollocks you'll see about 'temping' the chocolate when melting and resetting it. It's not really necessary, just makes it look a bit nicer when it's set.

I put about 4g of decarb in with a 100g bar of cooking choc and I estimate it at around 500mg THC a bar give or take. You can make cannabutter first but you don't really have to, the choc masks the decarbed bud taste pretty well, plus vegetables.

Yeah I used D9 in my edibles too fkn lazy to make butter lol ✌️appreciate your feedback bud ✌️

Not that easy to get right but plenty good vids on YouTube bud

yeah ive viewed loads... its weird as i thought itll b easier to buy a ready mix kit but i cant find anything uk all seems to be US\china based

I know a guy who was making batches of them over lock down my friend. I will ask him and let you know ok 🙌🏼

Appreciated my friend..

Of course it is mentally addictive, Also when you stop you will get night sweats and have nightmares but it is very tame compared to other drugs and I find it easy to stop for long phases. It's easier to stop than say nicotine or caffeine which I found much more difficult to quit and would not take again but weed is small potatoes in comparison lol

I don’t know but shopping on here seriously is! 🫣🤩

About to start a t-break, yes it is addictive. Physical symptoms last up to 3 days, main impact for me is sleep or lack thereof. Psychological addiction is the worse part and many people have a problem overcoming it. My friend was at drug rehab (for opiates) and he told me there were quite a few people with weed addiction there.

Yes it absolutely is, mentally and physically, to what degree is down to personal biochemistry and how much you use. Don’t listen to others to tell you if you are addicted or not. Listen to your symptoms;)

Yes

i dont think its physically addictive, even though i medicate with it and my life is crap without it.

Unfortunately it's difficult view point, cannabis can very addictive.you can rely on it, it can make you feel "normal" or set a base line, but ultimately it's beneficial if you can view it as a medicine or suppliment.

The problem is this varys from person to person.

I currently taking fluoxetine daily, but I feel cannabis helps me more than phama, does that mean cannabis is more addictive?

yeh, its difficult to frame what addiction is, i need to medicate with it, does that make me addicted? kinda, i need it, im well rough without it and vomit quite easily, i think my sister might be medicating some deep seated psychological problems but she is using addiction to explain things.

i just feel its a really negative way to see yourself and cannabis.

The addiction side of cannabis has always been downplayed and the merits/positives lauded. But yes there "can" be mild/moderate addiction (unique to each individual) but give the naysayers an inch and they will turn that into a mile long "well I don't want my child addicted, homeless and a raping thief, keep that weed BANNED..." without putting the addiction into some sort of context.

It doesn't have to be negative, you can be "addicted" to anything. Surely if you really, really like something you are addicted to it? Sport, reading, rock climbing, waterslides, etc. etc. but with most of these if you died during one of them (maybe not reading!) people would comment: "died doing what they love" and not "their addiction was their undoing."

I prefer to think of it like this: I'm addicted to cannabis but not dependant on it. I think? You have posted a good question, which only seems to raise more questions in my mind. I think I need a toot... Not that I'm addicted! :)

Yup and you’ll get cold sweats, shivers and all sorts when giving up if a heavy smoker

From my experience and a couple of mates + support groups

how much is heavy use? used to drop a gram in a spliff but now do that over a whole day.

Ummm 10-20 joints a day at peak mate.

G a joint is up there, over a day shouldnt be too bad.

It don’t get everyone, some get worse than others, some symptoms not others.

If you fully quit though the thc leaving your body can be gnarly as the sleep and dream cycle is restored to “normal”

20 years heavy smoke before I first had a lengthy 6 month t break.

Fucked me up worse than coming off some of the highest doses of morphine given to someone my age in Europe or some shit

Pray none of you go through that if you do break, as not wishing that on anyone 😭

once you *need* it, for energy, for focus or sanity - you are addicted. its just easier than most drugs to stop becaused the physical need dissipates relatively fast.

i think its not addictive but however ppl do become dependant on it to function normaly.

i myself think im not addicted.. as a recovering alcoholic alot of ppl will say im cross addicting but i say pish lol.. weed has managed to calm me down and stop me being violent it decreases my stress and anxiety enough for me to be 'normal' and function in this life..

i feel as if i had found weed sooner that my life would be so much different to what it is today..

and it also follows what rick simpson says about giving ppl 1g of concentrates every day will not only build their immunity to the concentrates but also to other things that are killing our bodies..✌

without a shadow of a doubt

however where something like heroin will inevitably cause addiction in those who partake regularly I do not think the same is for weed.

I smoke/vape/eat daily and heavily. However when I fly to Dubai to see one of my childhood friends I will be out there for 2 weeks at a time and besides a bit of insomnia the lack of THC does not affect me at all. If anything I am lot more outgoing and energetic. On the other hand another one of my childhood friends becomes short tempered and his appetite becomes non existent if he doesn't blaze.

I think it affects people differently according to their individual body chemistry. So in short, yes it is addictive but not for everyone.
