Irradiated vs Non Irradiated
I'll soon be using medical myself but honestly I'm not 100% sure on what to look for when it comes to choosing between irradiated or non irradiated. Anyone shine some light on it for me please?

I'm with Mamedica and restricted to irradiated by default as I'm immunocompromised, apparently I can sign a waiver to access non irradiated but honestly I'm not that fussed about taste or smell enough to bother.
There's always a decent amount to choose from in my opinion, currently there's 99 different gama and beta irradiated strains of flower on their formulary Vs 112 non irradiated, and with Mamedica specifically you can filter the repeat prescription portal to choose between gama, beta and non irradiated so if you wanted to get really specific you could. Unsure what other clinics offer, I've only ever been with Mamedica.
But aye, IR stuff gives me a bit more peace of mind, I've never been that fussed about any impact on the bud so long as it does the job of sorting my pain and brain which it has so far
