Medical Marijuana Treatments
Medical
cannabis dispensary is a treatment for many conditions. It is available in a
variety of forms, including tinctures, oral sprays, vapes and edibles.
The
active chemicals in cannabis are called cannabinoids. They are similar to
chemicals your body makes and help control appetite, movement, memory and pain.
Some
of these compounds, such as cannabidiol (CBD), are not intoxicating and can be
used for other purposes, including treating seizures. Epidiolex, a drug made
with CBD, is approved by the FDA for people with rare forms of epilepsy.
Medical
marijuana can also be used to treat chronic pain and reduce the need for
opioids, which are often addictive and have serious side effects. In fact,
studies show that patients who use medical marijuana experience fewer side
effects and have more stable pain levels than those using opioids.
