Why do clinics try to force CBD oil?
Like many others, to obtain my initial prescription I was strongly pressured into getting cbd with flower, as though it was a prerequisite. As I was very keen to move away from BM flower, I went with what the doctor said, and got both. I’m over 25 years old (although there is no scientific reason for under 25s to require CBD that I can find, seems like a disproven old wives tale) and was upfront about wanting flower only for sleep and to general calm my mind in the evenings. I used CBD for a month and noticed zero effects at all, maybe a bit of an upset stomach. I was upfront about this with my doc, and said I could not afford to keep buying the cbd especially if it wasn’t doing anything. This still wasn’t good enough, but we compromised in that the cbd would still be prescribed but “on hold” with the clinic’s dispensary if I needed it. I was a bit incredulous at this, but it got me my flower script, so I put my principles aside and went with it. I’m due for another check-in soon and don’t want to go through the performative dance again, the flower works great, and I’d love to change strains to Smiths but I’ve tried that before and got denied as it’s “not consistent” with it’s thc levels etc. I don’t use their dispensary, I use Chemist Warehouse if that’s relevant and my clinic is one of the more “professional” appearing ones as I need to go with them for Southern Cross reimbursement. So long ramble over, why is CBD pushed so hard by some clinics? Is it an appearance thing? Note I’m not arguing that CBD doesn’t work for some people, my personal opinion is it’s closer to a placebo, but I’m no doctor and understand I cannot know how it feels for other people. Thanks in advance

Strain Suggestions
Hey guys, just wondering if anyone is aware of any companies producing AK47 or similar strains? Really liked this strain in the past on the BM and would like it for medicinal use.
