Our studies show that MediCann medical marijuana users come from a variety of socio-economic backgrounds. Over 95% of patients used cannabis prior to using it medicinally. Most patients use marijuana for chronic pain, and particularly lower back pain. Anxiety, insomnia and migraine headaches are some of the most frequently treated illnesses utilizing medical marijuana.

MediCann has been working with patients since 2004, and now serves more than 25,000 patients per year. We are the largest provider of medical marijuana evaluations in the State of California, and will soon have a national clinic presence.

"I was diagnosed with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus at 17 and am now 55.  It’s been a long hard ride. Rather than use narcotics for pain management, I have chosen to use medicinal marijuana for several years now, mostly at night to aid in pain control and sleep. I would much rather use an all-natural substance as opposed to chemicals from a lab. The benefits to me are THERE ARE NO SIDE EFFECTS! I have 8 children, 3 with epilepsy (1 uses cannabis for seizure control), and a daughter with lupus, like myself.  Marijuana is just common sense; a natural herb that gives pain relief and aids in sleep MUST BE LEGAL for those who need it! Love you MediCann for all you do for the infirm."

"Six years ago at the age of forty-eight years old I had a heart attack . It was due to stress on my heart from prescription med’s, 'Opiates' to be exact. I thought my doctor’s knew what they were doing when prescribing me the many medications I was taking (Vicodin, Roxyodone, Soma, Valium, Norco, Fentanyl 100mcg). I have had severe back trauma and also suffer from degenerative disc disease as well as arthritis. Knowing that opiates were not the answer, I looked into the Medical Marijuana Program.  I thank God that I live in California and am able to smoke Medical Marijuana to relieve my pain and I also thank God that it works so effectively that I hope I never have to take another prescribed pain killer again."

MediCann serves a diverse patient population and is committed to working with individuals with a wide range of medical needs and health conditions. Many of our patients have not been able to obtain relief from their symptoms through traditional forms of medicine and are concerned about the side effects of prescribed medications to treat illness and injury. Others seek the broadest range of medical options possible and consider cannabis to be a therapy that compliments, augments, or replaces their existing care regimen.
