Gaps between orders

Im 3 months into MJ and am switching supplier each month at the moment to keep costs down. I like to order in advance so I have one pen in use and one unopened incase of any shortages etc

However I haven't managed to get round to ordering for 5 weeks. Last order was may 6. I know you have to provide proof of your prescription box to the new supplier otherwise they put you on a lower dose.

Will the fact it's been 5 weeks be ok?

It will be absolutely fine, 5 weeks is not an issue at all.

I had a six week gap and it was fine with Numan but the one beginning with C (Curely?) wouldn't accept me because it has been that long.

I’ve ordered via Pillsorted, IQ doctor, The Slimming Clinic, and have had about 6 weeks between orders as I’m stretching out the doses. Never had a problem. Each supplier asks for a photo of the previous prescription label with name, address and issue date.

I’ve found 6 weeks appears to be about the limit for many pharmacies.

5 weeks is fine. You can show your "stockpile" to the pharmacy too and they'll add a note on your file to say you don't need to order for a while.

Simple online pharmacy price match everyone's discount code if you want to stay with one pharmacy long term. They told me that working through my 2 pen stockpile was fine and they put a note on my file.

Medexpress are 8 weeks if you’re moving up or 12 weeks for the same dose.

I use weprescribe. They price matched so I didn't have to change pharmacy
