I hope you are going to appeal, mate. That is bang out of order. No wonder you cannot sleep. If the Government did that to either myself or my wife, I'd never sleep due to worry.

I've started the appeal process but due to legalities being mentioned they're stonewalling the process, I've now been told it'll likely take a minimum of 9months!

The worst of it is when I attended a health assessment and she fabricated the entire report, she said I have full range of movement in my neck, spine and left shoulder when the tumor has forced my spine, shoulder blade and neck out of place resulting in movement restrictions making what she said impossible without dislocating the joints.. I proved to them it was a fabricated report and guess what, they opened my complaint and closed it in 2minutes saying they agree with what she said!

You really wouldn't think I was 22, would you! Haha!

I only smoke for sleep. Had sleep issues for years. I tend to stick with indica dominant plants for this as they seem to have more of a knock out effect than sativa dom strains, the latter can often have the opposite effect keeping me awake and thinking about things. There are so many strains out there thats its hard to recommend one in particular. A nice afgani or northern lights strain is a good starting point as they are easy to grow indica plants that tend to produce quite well.

I was thinking about going with heavy indica strains seeing as they have more of the 'couch lock' factor and less of the 'it's 3AM, perfect time for politics' factor!

I've looked into NL strains and I'm quite impressed at THC content, yield and general smoke reviews if I'm honest! Certainly a starting point and I think I may very well have to do an indica only grow at some point with different strains to give them a try and see what does it for me!

9 Pound Hammer is an 80% indica strain that crosses Gooberry, Hells OG, and Jack the Ripper. These dense buds are coated in resin, offering sweet grape and lime flavors. True to its indica dominance, effects are heavy and long-lasting, useful for pain and stress relief. Best grown indoors, 9 Pound Hammer will deliver a heavy yield, flowering between 50 and 60 days.

I'm in the UK so I don't think people would be very comfortable with clones, considering cultivation is well.. Frowned upon, to understate it!

I'll have a look into those as well, thank you!

Really nice to actually see how active the forums are and how helpful everyone is!

I've contacted them asking if they'll be distributing them again soon and if so could they notify me ASAP - I've also signed up for notifications on about 15 websites as well haha!
