Letting sapphire clinics know about current use?

Hi guys
I’m totally eligible for medical cannabis for chronic pain. I’m going through the steps with Sapphire clinic for an appointment and one of the questions is if I’m a current cannabis user.
I want to tell the truth but worried about if this will affect getting the prescription. I’m at my wit’s end, totally broken and mangled spine, needing relief and scared of ticking the wrong box!

Any tips?

Be honest with them.
Tell them if you currently use cannabis, it’s going to help your application.

Don’t worry about it. Be honest. It will work in your favour.

If your not honest then they’ll start you ‘slow & low’, then due to tolerance levels you’ll not be getting the correct medication.

They just need to know so they know your experience with cannabis and whether it's effective for you, I was honest with them and it didn't effect my standing with them

Tell them, it helps them understand your experience with cannabis and gives them the option to prescibe you stronger medicine

Be honest or you'll be given CBD.
I told my Dr I did concentrates, hash,oil, vapes over 40g a month etc.. because of this I was given what I wanted.

Be honest I was because I regularly use two different strains one for pain during the day and one just before bed so I can sleep. I have MS and want to be able to function in the day and not have a couch potato life.
I wasn't given low dose prescriptions to build tolerance.

Just be honest and tell them, I'm with sapphire at the moment and I told them from the get go how much I smoked and my daily use and it didn't go against me in any way. They prescribed me slightly more than I was using before when using the BM to my surprise.
