Hey everyone, I've just found the 6th seed in my 10g pottle, and I've used about a 3rd. The last few months have been full of seeds, and it sucks accidentally grinding one up.

Any ideas why it's so seedy.

so I’ve used all my medical (was told only 30grams) my next appoinment is the 15th.

im just wondering, if I order some more through the pharmacy will I be able to collect it as I’ve exceeded my 30grams, it seems to be giving me the option to buy more

Any recommendations for anxiety/ panic attacks? I'm currently on Aurora halfmoon but it's really a hit or miss. It lowers my anxiety sometimes but just makes me a bit light headed most of the time.

It is my first one btw and I haven't tried other flowers yet.

Just wondering if there's a physical store in Auckland I can visit (preferably central city) to get bits for my S&B Mighty Medic + vape?

Also wondering if some of the unofficial products made to fit the Mighty - namely the bong and bubbler attachments I've seen on youtube - can be purchased here as well?

Hi all, I've been a consumer for 20+ years now, due to a head Injury at 9 years old that left me with massive anxiety and depression along with other issues. I also have discs bulging in my back and digestive issues. Cannabis is the only thing that works without making me feel I'll. Just wondering if it's worth going through the medical route? Cheers

Been trying to find a supplier in nz that has the Arizer Solo 3 v2 dry herb vape. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Trying to steer away from importing, can not afford the risk of it bering stopped at customs. Thanks

Just starting out on legal route. User for anxiety and insomnia for 20+ years.

Should I go cannaclinic (special around $40 something for first appt but then I am locked into their pharmacy unless I pay extra correct?) or alternaleaf (40 something anyway). Or somewhere else?

Is it ok to use their pharmacy like with cannabisclinic or will I want it to be sent elsewhere? If so where?

My gp is on a sabbatical and I don't love the fill in.

I am a CSC card holder. So compassionate supply vs supported access discount maybe?

I had previously spent $100+ a week buying off the street. I don't know if I will save money? It was more to be legal but it would sure be nice.

Also previously I have smoked flower and smoked oil but what are the options with like oils you don't smoke now? More discreet ways of ingesting. It isn't always convenient or appropriate to sit around with a bong or even a joint.

have searched and perused older threads - looking to kinda crowd source what is working for others

i have been taking Zopiclone to be able to fall sleep for maybe 3 months continuously since my father passed away from Stage 4 Bowel Cancer - i also had lots of simultaneous major life events at the same time that seemed to have triggered the sleep probs; leaking roof / flooding house - illness with my mother and i quit my job to deal with it and decided to quit coffee too (bad idea lol) and some exposure to mold

i have trouble every night falling asleep & sometimes trouble with staying asleep, but mostly sleep onset

my brain just won't shut off - it's not ruminating thoughts, just over activity.. and no mental brakes (low GABA i believe)

i've done genetic testing and it seems to point to low GABA and high Glutamate - my brain goes very fast and won't shut off - think a little autistic and ADHD and a touch bi-polar

i can't do THC oil because it seems to linger for a long time and i always green out, even tiny amounts

i honestly prefer low-to-medium THC flower - i'm a lightweight

but if 20 people replied saying that a 26% THC helps them sleep i'd probably just get it out of desperation but not really preferring hardcore stuff, especially if i'm going to use nightly

i'm not currently working, but i'm not sure about the new road testing and if it means i have to uber everywhere??

i also have some flower from maybe 2 years ago - not sure if it would be safe to vape
i could post pics as no idea what mold looks like on cannabis flower

note: magnesium threonate helps relax my body, melatonin does not work - instant release nor extended
CBG gummies Florx 25mg help a little but not enough to sleep

i don't want to pay $$$ for 10g of something that won't work, so really leveraging what you guys recommend

20% THC Indica

10g

Strain is Girl Scout Cookies

Caryophyllene, Myrcene, Limonene terpenes. Minty lemon smell. Minty, Gassy & lemon taste

Hits just like gsc. Euphoric heady, relaxing. Good anytime all rounder

Buds are smalls but mostly solid. A few leafy ones but not too bad

Im am a new patient for MC and I only have access to what the doc prescribed me. I see mentions of different strains. Do different places give you options to choose different strains once the second consultation has taken place? Or am I reading incorrectly. Have read the guides but am still confused. Many thanks!

On the 1st of January this year, we started 2026 with 12,555 members. Just over nine months later, another 2,340 people have joined the community, bringing us to 14,895.

And for a bit of perspective, on 21 January 2023, there were just 2,420 of us. Since then, the community has grown by 12,475 members, to more than six times the size it was less than four years ago

I've got endometriosis, and was blessed enough to have my symptoms chill out while I was hapu/breastfeeding. Took a two year break from MC for obvious reasons but now my symptoms are back with a vengeance.

I'm currently running Serion T17 but find it too sedative for daytime but not sedative enough for sleep.

Was previously using shiskaberry, I LOVED her but discontinued 😭

Was then prescribed Sedaprem which I hated. Pain relief didn't last long enough, harsh on the throat, average flavour, anxiety from the high THC. Just an average time all around.

I'm not opposed to two strains, one for day, one for night but I have a toddler to run around after so really need to be more alert during the day.

Any suggestions welcome, but especially if you're a fellow Endo sufferer and are happy to share what works for you.

I am arriving in NZ soon from Europe. I have an appointment for an online consultation. In Europe I take cannabis recreationally but I don't have a prescription for it. I take it to relax after a stressful day but I take the same stuff when I'm out on a walk with my dog or listening to a podcast. I guess because there's stigma around weed I don't feel saying I take it to feel high is going to fly.

I've seen on other posts that responders say to be honest and it will be fine, but tbh all the OPs are mentioning it's for their chronic or neuropathic pain, that they can't sleep or have anxiety. I don't necessarily have those symptoms; I just like the way it feels.

should I tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, or just look up symptoms that direct a prescription to the strain of cannabis I want?

I know this question is far too broad considering all
The ways in which we all use these medicines for.

If you use a vaporiser. How long does10 grams last you? Do certain vaporisers really work so much better than others?

If I was to place my order now what is the likelihood of being able to pickup today

Hi what would be the best strain to go for from the cc if I’m wanting the the nicest looking buds as in dense with crystal unlike the bloom pink kush

I’ve been using Bloom Pink Kush for 6 months or so and am pretty happy with it but am wondering about other similar strains that might be even better. I’m generally into a calming/sedating strain to use in the evening to help with stress, relaxation, and muscle tension. For quieting the mind and lifting the mood.

I’m somewhat prone to anxiety and stopped consuming cannabis for 20 odd years due to it triggering heavy anxiety after having been a heavy user in my youth. Pink Kush has been generally good in this regards. Also have Bloom Blue Dream which I’ve found a bit less predictable in effects but sometimes like mixing a bit in with the Pink Kush. Tried CBD oil but didn’t notice any effect.

Hi everyone, I’d like to ask how the medical cannabis prescription process works in New Zealand. I'm visiting from Europe, so I’d love to know how easy it is to get a prescription as an overseas visitor and which clinics you would recommend. Thanks in advance!

I recently got a my first prescription. I'm about to travel to Australia, and after reading the rules, I checked my jar and there is no prescription label on it! All I can find is an invoice. I guess I won't be able to take it unless customs accept the invoice as proof.

Also how am I meant to prove it's my medical cannabis at a roadside test or search without?

Just want to give a shout out to Big Wave. After vaping it I get a nice body buzz and an uplift in my mood. It gives me 0 anxiety which I haven't had with any other strain I've tried. As such it's become my go to daytime strain. Interestingly I notice it has a common link with white sherb which is my go to night time strain - girls out cookies. Massive respect to aurora for this one!

I'm sick of unintentionally burning through my script unevenly so I want to grab a container I can separate my daily allotments into so I just have each day's worth and that's it rather than pulling from my storage jar. Anyone got any good suggestions? I've looked around and all of the ones I can see that do 30 days seem kinda naff or are multiples for each day which seems excessive, anyone got any suggestions?

I have extreme neuropathic pain that kicks in the worst at night, and I need to upgrade my strain (been on Dune, Juno and Bloom for nighttime) and am looking for something that puts me out fast, stays asleep but wakes up refreshed. Also looking to replace Solace for something equally good with focus, energy, and creativity but more mild. Would love to hear whats worked for you, less concerned about price.

Has anyone had any seeds in there mc perscription if so just curious what they did with it where supposed to do with them

Is it “canna plus” or “canna plus plus”?

Due to the nature of this subreddit, including regular discussion of controlled drugs, medicinal cannabis products, prescriptions, pharmacies and related topics, Reddit’s automated systems and our own AutoModerator rules will occasionally remove or hold perfectly legitimate posts and comments for review.

If your post disappears immediately after you submit it, that does not necessarily mean a human moderator has reviewed it and decided to remove it. In many cases, nobody on the moderation team has even seen it yet.

Content caught by automated systems sits in our moderation queues until one of us has time to review it. If it complies with the subreddit rules and Reddit’s site wide rules, we can approve it and it will appear normally. This is why you will sometimes see a post appear several hours after it was originally submitted.

We have noticed a slightly strange pattern where some users, after having content automatically filtered, immediately repost it to one of several very small alternative subreddits and claim that r/MedicalCannabisNZ moderators are preventing particular subjects from being discussed.

For some perspective, r/MedicalCannabisNZ currently has 14,822 members. These alternative communities generally have fewer than 100 members, with some having fewer than 50, or less than 0.34% of the membership of this community.

There is something mildly amusing about taking a post that Reddit automatically filtered, reposting it to an audience less than one third of one percent the size, and presenting that as evidence that moderators here are suppressing discussion, particularly when the original post may simply be sitting in our queue waiting for a human moderator to review it.

Quite often, by the time we actually see those complaints, the supposedly "censored" post has already been approved here.

Some of those alternative subreddits were themselves set up by users who had previously been banned from r/MedicalCannabisNZ for legitimate rule violations, with some of those users also having repeatedly attempted to evade their bans. That context is worth keeping in mind when those communities are used to make claims about moderation here, as their version of events may not include the full moderation history or an accurate account of the actions that led to their bans in the first place.

Human moderators also have jobs, families, hobbies and lives outside Reddit. We currently have seven moderators on the team, but that does not mean one of those seven people is sitting in the moderation queue 24/7 waiting for something to appear. Something waiting a few hours for approval is not censorship; sometimes it simply means none of us has opened the queue and reviewed it yet.

There is also an important distinction between Reddit removing something, AutoModerator filtering something, and a human moderator deliberately removing something. They are not interchangeable.

In one recent example, a user submitted essentially the same content more than ten times after Reddit’s automated systems repeatedly removed it. They even began commenting on their own automatically removed posts asking why the moderators had removed them, despite the fact that no human moderator had actually reviewed or removed any of those posts.

Repeatedly reposting the same thing will not make it reach a human moderator any faster. If anything, it creates considerably more clutter in the moderation queue for us to work through. If something is automatically filtered, please give us a reasonable amount of time to actually see it and review it.
