Being sick really sucks. If you or someone close to you is dealing with a medical issue, it’s hard to focus on anything else. When the only option presented is prescription drugs, you have a certain expectation that they will work.

Unfortunately, they often don’t or the side effects are worse than the original diagnosis. When that happens, what do you do? There is only one option, take matters into your own hands and try alternative therapies—such as medical cannabis.

For good reason, medical cannabis has been aptly described as a pharmacy in a plant. Depending on the strain, method of ingestion and the individual needs of your endocannabinoid system, medicinal cannabis can treat many conditions and their symptoms. 

The toughest time for a medical cannabis user is the beginning, because finding what works takes trial and error. For those with little experience or tolerance, this can be an uncomfortable.

With the current state of our cannabis laws, legal cannabis storefronts cannot provide any medical guidance and medically licensed producers are extremely hard to access. If long standing dispensaries and medical compassion clubs remain open, they defy the law and face enforcement. Without backing from the College of Physicians and Surgeons, doctors face legal liability for giving advice on cannabis; furthermore, most know nothing about it.
