CB1 Medical 1st consultation

Had my first consultation with the CB1 psychiatric doctor today so thought I’d share my experience. Overall seemed to go quite well but I was surprised that they selected specific strains for me rather than me having a look at the formulary and selecting myself. I know each clinic differs but I didn’t realise it was like that with CB1, cause people I know with Mamedica have full control over what they have, the dr just tells them the amount they can have p/m but no restrictions on strength or form that it comes in. The dr did say as it’s medicinal and not recreational that he has selected strains for my specific conditions and that after the initial prescription I will have a few more options so that if some are out of stock I have alternatives but that again he will pick them. Whilst I like that its tailored to what will benefit my specific condition needs, as someone who doesn’t always have a load of money, not having the freedom to take the price of each strain into account has worried me a little, especially as they’re cheap introduction price is what made me choose them. I found the dr to be quite pushy on me having oil with flower only as a top up and said they recommend moving to just oils over time. Never had THC oil before, only CBD so interested to see how it goes, but did find it odd him saying they recommend moving off flower. They also told me that the amount I currently consume is way more than they feel they can prescribe me, which again seems a bit odd when comparing to my mates experience with Mamedica matching the dosage he was using before becoming a patient. I’ve gotta wait til next week for their board review and then will find out if I’m accepted and will see how it goes from there I guess. Interested on others takes on my consultation and if anyone else has had a similar experience to me
