What is Medical Cannabis?
Medical cannabis refers to the use of cannabis plants or their chemical compounds, like THC and CBD, to treat various medical conditions. It is prescribed by licensed physicians and available through regulated dispensaries.
Medical cannabis offers a natural, effective alternative to traditional pharmaceuticals for managing chronic pain, anxiety, nausea, and other symptoms. It can improve quality of life, reduce dependency on opioids, and provide relief with fewer side effects, making it a valuable option for patients seeking holistic care.
