Medical Cannabis Information

Our team of health care experts want to ensure that you have access to leading research and reliable information about medical cannabis and specific medical conditions and populations. In this growing field, we will be there to ensure and establish helpful guidelines for patients on specific cannabis strains, mode of use, and dosages. And we will work to obtain knowledge on how cannabis effects health. 

Cannabis and Chronic Pain

There are 100-million Americans, or roughly 1 in every 30 people, suffering from chronic pain.

​When patients cannot achieve adequate pain relief from traditional pharmaceutical drugs – or when unpleasant side effects limit their usefulness – they often seek out alternative treatments.

Medical cannabis is one such alternative treatment that has been used to treat chronic pain and other medical conditions for at least 5000 years. Find out more here.

Medical Cannabis 101

There are over 100 unique molecules in the cannabis plant know as cannabinoids. Examples of cannabinoids include psychoactive THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, as well as non-psychoactive cannabinoids such as CBD, or cannabidiol. 

These plant cannabinoids bind to natural receptors located throughout our bodies known as “endocannabinoid receptors.” 

​When plant cannabinoids bind to the body’s natural endocannabinoid receptors they exert a variety of positive medical benefits, including the relief of pain, inflammation, muscle spasm, insomnia, and anxiety/depression. For more information click here.
