    I'm a southampton resident and was a Sapphire patient. However, they are so expensive and it is actually cheaper (and better quality) to source on the black market, than purchase through them.
    It is a sad shame that once again a very useful medication for chronic pain suffered is abused by those wishing to 'get rich' rather than actually help chronically ill people. I guess of you have the funds and are nervous about buying illicit it is a great scheme but as will all these things it always comes down to money. And those who are unable to work due to chronic illness - like myself just cannot afford the luxury of doing so legally.

      If you can get it for less than £5 a gram on the street its crap home grown, There is so much red tape at the moment with supply and customs, but it is improving, I am currently receiving EMT1 and 3 and both are miles better than the local street weed for helping with my pains. Yes there is better about on the street, but its also £50-60 a 3.5g. I'd rather be getting my medication from Sapphire then underweight sprayed stardawg from some random. People are too used to seeing Instagram designer weed and think all should be the same.

      You do not need your doctors permission to apply. As long as you have a condition which can be treated with Medical Cannabis and have tried at least 2 traditional medicines which have not sucessfully treated your condition. You can Request a copy of your Summary of Care or Encounter Report from your GP practice admin staff and that will allow you to obtain a consultation with one of the consultants in the medical cannabis clinics such as Saphire or MyAccessClinics. you just need to contact one of the clinics directly and they will check your eligibility and request you to send on your GP notes. Good luck!
