I am very much involved with the 420 world, professionally and through supporting activism.
Like many of us, over the years, our health suffers. I’ve chipped a bone in my ankle in 2010, having keyhole surgery some years later to reduce the ongoing discomfort. Then towards the end of 2017, I needed to have 25cm of my colon removed and I caught Lyme’s disease! And having tried BIG Pharma solutions for long enough, I decided, enough was enough, and to seek medical cannabis. I had been medicating with cannabis already for many a year, but as we all know, this is hazardous. So, as soon as I learned about a favourable Dr. that was accessible, I immediately made an appointment. Fortunately, Germany, where I live as an expat, has made great strides in the field of medicinal cannabis. To learn more, about what’s accessible in Deutschland, see this PDF (in German) from: www.cannabis-med.org
At my first appointment and to my surprise I was given a prescription for Ethanol.Dronabinol (Cannabis Oil) immediately. I was not in any doubt I was in need of this and delighted the Dr. agreed.
But, as I was soon to find out, getting a prescription is not the end of the battle. As, currently it is not standard for ones medical insurance, here, to pay for cannabis medicine.
For my first prescription, of:
I was quoted €800-€820 locally and €610 incl. P&P from an online chemist! Sadly far to expensive for me!
The Avie Walburga Apotheke (chemist) has the best prices I could find and currently offers:
Pedanios 18/1 – 10g
Penelope – 10g
Pedanios 22/1 – 10g
Orange No. 1 – 10g
Bedrocan – 5g
Red No. 2 – 10g
So at my next Dr. appointment I returned the prescription explaining the price meant it was out of reach, so I asked for a smaller amount and some cannabis buds, to try.
Because I don’t smoke, clearly I prefer to not have too, to take a medicine. But I wanted some to try some dried plant to see if I could vape it in my Aromed vaporiser.
So I came away with two new prescriptions:
Ethanol.Dronabinol Lsg. 50mg/ml 10ml €362,56 (so €360 for 10ml and €800 for 100ml ! – Sorry I will not pay this)
Ka Ching €164,64
The Bedrocan Cannabis flos 5g, 25x Pulverkapseln a 0,2g (THC-Gehalt: ca. 22%, CBD-Gehalt: < 1%) was €164,64 so I could afford!
Collecting my first Cannabis from the local chemist
The genetics of “Bedrocan” comes from the Sensi Seedsstrain “Jack Herer”. According to Sensi Seeds, Jack Herer is a gene stabilized F2 ((Northern Lights # 5 / Skunk # 1) / C1) x Haze Breeding. The Indica and Sativa share is 50%, according to Sensi Seeds.
This Bedrocan weed, it’s actually not bad, feeling wise… feels really pleasant, while not overpowering… the taste though! is like home-grown from the 80s due to the terpenes being killed-off by gamma radiation! which is typical of BIG Pharma – the last thing they want is for medicine to taste nice! But as a painkiller, mood enhancer, appetite stimulant and overall health supplement its very effective.
