I live in Scotland and am with cantourage, fantastic medical cannabis, fantastic customer service and Dr, fantastic all round. I've had no issues so far with police or the general public, all NHS staff have been supportive....so all good in my opinion.

I'm in Edinburgh and started with Sapphire in March.
I chose sapphire because the appointments are cheaper (£50)
The staff have always been amazingly helpful and friendly.
I got my medical records from my GP directly and sent them to sapphire because I read some GPs can be awkward about it.
The actual cannabis I get is pretty weak compared to what you'd get from a dealer. But it does the job and its £5 a gram. I think you can get stronger but I can't afford that haha.
I'm also on thc oil (£80 per bottle) which is really handy for being able to take before work and not smell of smoke etc.
The only criticism I have is that when you request more the time it takes for your prescription to reach the suppliers can be a few days or a couple of weeks so it can be hard to judge when to order more.

I’m with Sapphire since last August and I live in Scotland also, has been an easy process to get through from beginning to now, especially with the meet being held over Zoom.

I'm just going through the process wtih my GP atm, but I've had numerous conversations with NHS staff and no one is anywhere close to bothered that I'm interested in MC, and from previous dealing with Police Scotland (Central West) that have been less than legal, they have been very lenient at pro-cannabis gatherings where there has been a lot of weed being openly smoked.
Here is [Police Scotland's guidance](https://www.scotland.police.uk/access-to-information/freedom-of-information/disclosure-log/2022/march/22-0708-policy-sop-drugs-medical-cannabis-cbpm/) on it - seems to be as long as you have your script and/or a suitably labelled tub then it'd be okay.

I live in Scotland and have a prescription from TMCC.
it sucks that you have to pay for a repeat prescription at £30 per time
and £49 for a video consultation after 2 repeats.
however, you can get medication for £150 for 30g which isnt to bad.
the strains are getting better and should have more "none irradiated bud soon"
the police are not trained .

The reason nhs staff show no real intrest is because they cant prescribe it.
