Medical Cannabis Q & A

What is medical marijuana?

Marijuana is an herbal medicine that comes from the dried flowering buds of the cannabis plant. The two main types of cannabis plants are Sativa and India, each with their own unique medicinal effects. Indica strains generally promote a deep sense of relaxation, while Sativa strains tend to be more energizing.

You can consume medical marijuana in a variety of ways, including:

Smoking herb or concentrates
Vaping herb or concentrates
Eating cannabis-infused foods
Drinking cannabis tea or other infused beverages

How does medical marijuana work?

The cannabis plant possesses over 100 different cannabinoids, each with its own effect on your body. You’ve probably heard of the two major cannabinoids, cannabidiol (CBD) and Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).

THC is what make you feel, “high,” or “stoned,” when you use cannabis, while CBD provides therapeutic benefits without the psychoactive effects.

Cannabinoids bind to particular receptors in your brain and nervous system that ease suffering by interrupting pain impulses. Your body has cannabinoid receptors in the following locations:

Brain
Lungs
Liver
Kidneys
Immune system
