What is Medical Marijuana?
Benefits: Medical Marijuana (MMJ) is a natural alternative for pain relief with little to no side effects. It helps modulate inflammation therefore reducing overall pain. Many patients report that as a result of reducing their pain they can sleep better, are able to relax, and have overall less stress. MMJ is a great alternative for patients with debilitating medical conditions, patients that have suffered various unwanted side effects from medications, and patients seeking an alternative to opioid use. There are many forms to medicate using cannabis: capsules, tinctures, oils, creams, various edible forms, and much more.
