I was contacted this morning by Patient Info who are advertising a £39.99 consultation from Releaf (down from £99.99) who will provide you with an assessment for whether you should use medicinal cannabis.
Patient Access is the service that many of us use to keep in contact with the NHS, order drugs and get appointments. The mail from the “Patient” that I got promised some intriguing help that I assumed was from the NHS.
Why this should be advertised by what I considered the NHS “patient access”puzzled me , why it should be advertised at £39.99 when you can get it till the end of August directly from Releaf at £9.99 is even more strange, this is from Releaf’s website.
Patient suggests that taking dope, the medicinal way, can ease a lot of troubles
It’s got all the diagrams you need to be credible
So for paying for your full assessment using the Patient info code, you will pay an awful lot more for what appears the same thing. But its got to be worth £60 – and anyway – booking through Patient gives you NHS protection – doesn’t it?
So let’s just check who is this ?
Is “Patient” , the same organisation as “Patient Access” which has the same logo and offers us patientaccess.com ?
My conclusion is that though Patient Info uses the same logo and most of the same name, it is a scam that preys upon just about everyone for we all suffer from the list of ailments that cannabis can ease.
That is if you believe a word a scammer says.
Whether Releaf is any more reputable is another matter. I’ll be sending my findings to Releaf and the NHS to see if there is any connection. In the mean time , I won’t be taking medicinal cannabis and I’ll be very careful about the Patient service that I use.
