Medical Marijuana – Cannabis used for treating health conditions under a doctor’s recommendation. Contains THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and/or CBD (cannabidiol) for therapeutic effects.
- Common Medical Uses:
• Chronic pain (arthritis, nerve pain, migraines)
• Nausea and vomiting (especially from
chemotherapy)
• Epilepsy (CBD helps reduce seizures)
• Multiple sclerosis (reduces muscle spasms)
• PTSD & anxiety (promotes relaxation)
• Insomnia (helps with sleep disorders)
- Forms of Medical Marijuana:
• Oils & tinctures (taken under the tongue)
• Edibles (gummies, capsules)
• Topicals (creams for localized pain)
• Vaping or smoking (quick effects, NOT recommended)
Legality varies by location, and a doctor’s prescription is often required. Some strains are low in THC (to avoid a strong high) and high in CBD for therapeutic benefits.
