Frequently Asked Questions
Qualification criteria vary by state, but typically include specific diagnosed conditions such as chronic pain, cancer, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, PTSD, and certain neurological disorders. During your consultation, we will conduct a thorough evaluation of your medical history and current condition to determine if medical cannabis might be appropriate for your situation and if you meet the legal requirements in our state.
Medical cannabis comes in various forms including oils, tinctures, capsules, flower for vaporization, topical preparations, and edibles. Each delivery method has different onset times, durations of effect, and potential benefits. Products also vary in their cannabinoid profiles (the ratio of THC, CBD, and other cannabinoids). We will help you identify which forms and profiles may be most appropriate for your specific condition.
Not necessarily. Many medical cannabis formulations are designed to minimize psychoactive effects while maximizing therapeutic benefits. Products with higher CBD-to-THC ratios typically produce minimal or no intoxicating effects. We focus on finding the right balance to address your symptoms while minimizing unwanted side effects. Our goal is to improve your functionality, not impair it.
We implement a structured monitoring protocol with regular follow-up appointments to assess your response to treatment, manage any side effects, and make necessary adjustments. We track specific outcomes related to your condition, such as pain levels, sleep quality, or other relevant metrics. We also provide education on responsible use and work collaboratively with your other healthcare providers to ensure coordinated care.
Cannabis can interact with several medications, including blood thinners, antidepressants, antipsychotics, and certain pain medications. We conduct a comprehensive review of your current medications before recommending medical cannabis and adjust dosages as needed to minimize interaction risks. It is essential to disclose all medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements, to ensure safe treatment.
