WHAT IS MARIJUANA? We may know it by many names like marijuana, weed, hemp, hashish, ganja, etc. but scientifically it is widely known as “CANNABIS”. it is a psychoactive drug extracted from the dried stem, leaves, and flowers of “Cannabis sativa” or “Cannabis indica” (scientific names of plants) and has physiological effects as it mainly targets the cannabinoid receptors present in our CNS(central nervous system) along with various other organs is especially popular among people for recreation which causes relaxation along with euphoria also known as the feeling of getting “stoned” or “high”;hence people mis-utilize this and for this reason it is termed as illicit drug and is banned from use in many countries . Apart from that, the importance of cannabis in the medicinal field is far more important and it serves as a helping hand to patients suffering from various life-threatening diseases. MARIJUANA DOCTORS The physicians, who specialize in the field of medical marijuana and are willing, certified (qualified) to recommend medicinal marijuana to the patients in need are the marijuana doctors. They are just the same as the other doctors you see but have a vast knowledge about medicinal marijuana, like their requirements and the side effects. The marijuana doctors have all the privileges and rights to practice in your country. These doctors are well aware of the requirement of cannabinoids according to their patient’s health conditions and recommend them a number of ways to intake medicinal marijuana keeping the concentration (dosage) in mind. MARIJUANA AS A MEDICINE  Medicinal marijuana, as the name indicates cannabis(marijuana) and its components(cannabinoids) are used in the field of medicine and are prescribed by marijuana doctors mainly for cancer patients as it helps to reduce the feeling of nausea when a cancer patient is an ongoing chemotherapy , it is also used in case of HIV/AIDS patients in order to improve their appetite , it is helpful to treat epilepsy in children, but it is mainly prescribed by doctors in case to relieve chronic pain (consistent feeling of pain) and spasms in muscles. We can say that medicinal marijuana is the green miracle for the patients; but “what makes the medicinal marijuana so different from the simple marijuana we know?”. If we dig deeper into this matter we need the help of science. Cannabis plants produce around 80 – 100 cannabinoids and among these, there are two main components used by patients for therapeutic benefits which are delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol(THC) and cannabidiol(CBD). THC affects or reacts with our body’s endocannabinoid system (the communication system in our body that consists of neurotransmitters and neurological pathways) making it is one responsible for the euphoria(high) or sleepiness people experience as THC has high psychoactive effects on our central nervous system as it acts on the sites of neuro-transmitters thus altering the conduction of nerve impulses throughout the body resulting in abnormal functioning of brain(affects memory centers) . But it has great medicinal value as it has antioxidant properties, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic properties. On the other hand, CBD (cannabidiol) doesn’t contribute to inducing the feeling of euphoria or any effect on our brain receptors but is used to treat schizophrenia, epilepsy, inflammatory diseases, psychotic disorders, tumors, etc. The marijuana we know has all the cannabinoids as secreted by the cannabis plants along with some harmful impurities like terpenes which have a role in deteriorating our health as it doesn’t go through any extraction procedure so none of the other harmful cannabinoids present in the plant gets filtered out along with the pesticides and insecticides. But the medicinal cannabis or “Pharmaceutical cannabis” products are prepared in labs ensuring the removal of the unwanted cannabinoids along with other present impurities and microbes which can have adverse effects. So that leaves the medicinal marijuana with the main two cannabinoids only contains CBD or THC or both, and they are approved for medicinal purposes by organizations like Therapeutic Goods Administration {TGA} and FDA. METHODS FOR INTAKE  There is plenty of medicinal marijuana available in the market and more than that are the number of ways to take it but surely not without the proper prescription by a certified marijuana doctors.

1. Capsules and pills 

Pills are a safer way for the intake of marijuana for those who suffer from respiratory disorders like asthma or other lung problem. These capsules are also known as canna caps. Benefits of capsules are it can provide the patient with a particular dosage (required amount of cannabinoids according to the requirements) as canna caps have a designated composition of the amount of THC or CBD present per capsule. This is also the most recommended method of intake by the marijuana doctors.

2. Edibles

Some peoples also like to take marijuana infused in their foods like snacks, candies, chocolates which contain the least amount of THC and comparatively more CBD thus making it suitable for patients who depend on the edibles for their pain relief. But it this way of ingestion takes around two to three hours for the onset of the effect of marijuana. Hence it’s not the best method for people seeking instant pain relief.      3.Cannabis sprays  Canna sprays are alcohol-based or oil-based sprays and are meant to be taken sublingually (under our tongue). Like he edibles and capsules, the canna sprays also have a definite proportion of THC to that of CBD and can be used by patients as per their requirements but unlike the edibles, these sprays provide fast action as the can be easily absorbed by the buccal cavity into the bloodstream. These sprays are also convenient for people with asthma and respiratory conditions 4.Beverages People like to drink their tea with some marijuana and some prefer coffee (canna coffee), lattes, sodas, cocktails, etc. people can easily brew a cup of medicinal marijuana tea with only CBD in it, and will get the medicinal benefits from it without the danger of being high. This type of composition (CBD tea or coffee) is available in the cannabis stores. People also like to make their cannabis drinks by mixing the decarbed CBD concentrate on their preferable drinks.

5. Creams

There are many lotions and crèmes available in the market and along with  them the canna creams that also made its place on the shelf. As we know CBD and THC are potent antioxidants anti-inflammatory substances and pain relievers so they are widely used by athletes for rapid pain relief caused by muscle spasms or joint pains but these lotions are for external application only and don’t cause euphoria on application. Canna lotions can also be used to treat rashes and inflammations.

6. Skin Patches

These are developed with the same concept as that of nicotine patches      and are simply placed on the skin are developed for purely medicinal purposes only as they don’t have any psychoactive effects. These patches transmit CBD into the bloodstream of the patient through the epidermal cells of the skin and provide discreet and consistent pain relief. But in this, the action of the cannabinoids is slower than the results achieved by sprays.

7. Vapes

The most popular method of consumption of marijuana as it is convenient and with low health risks as in this case, the cannabis is heated to a high temperature(not burnt) by the battery present in the vape pens which significantly reduces the risks of inhaling the toxins and burnt carbon particles. These vapes can also regulate the temperature to which the marijuana is being subjected to, thus you can regulate the amount of smoke emitted.

8. Smoking cannabis

The most primitive method of intake of marijuana since ancient times and also the quickest of all the others for the onset of action of marijuana as the smoke is directly absorbed into the bloodstream through diffusion in the alveoli of the lungs, thus reaching the brain within minutes. You might be thinking that this might be the best method of taking marijuana, but it is the most harmful one. WHY SMOKING MARIJUANA IS BAD? Majority of the people like to smoke marijuana. And the market has seen to it that people get what they want by providing bongs, bowls, bubblers, joints, blunts, etc. But how is smoking marijuana bad while it can be an instant relief to those in chronic pain? The reason is when we smoke marijuana along with the cannabinoids our body is exposed to more than 60 carcinogens(the chemical substances which are responsible for causing cancer ) and in the process of smoking the marijuana is burnt which leads to release of unburnt carbon particles which on inhalation causes serious health issues(lung cancer). Smoking marijuana will have the same adverse effects on our lungs as that of smoking tobacco. And most importantly, in smoking, we cannot regulate the amount of cannabinoids uptake according to the requirement of our body making them unfit for the patients. So almost every marijuana doctors are well aware of the concentration of the cannabinoids present in the medicinal marijuana they prescribe according to the condition and requirement of the patient and smoking doesn’t ensure the quantity of the cannabinoids reaching the patient’s body. IS VAPING MARIJUANA (CBD OILS) GOOD? Vapes are currently the most popular method for the consumption of medical marijuana in Florida due to its reduced health risks as compared to smoking. Both vaping and smoking involve the intake of marijuana through smokes which is the fastest way for marijuana to show its effects, but vaping is even a considerable method for the intake of dose as prescribed by your marijuana doctors rather than taking an uncontrollable amount of toxins as in smoking. As in vapes, marijuana is not subjected to any flame but it is rather heated by the battery of the vape pens and the amount of smoke can be easily controlled, making it easy for people who like to intake marijuana by smoking and within a limit. And most importantly in smoking vapes there is least chance for the uptake of the carcinogens and carbon particles that we encounter in normal smoking, as in vapes there are cartridges which contain the purified CBD oils, which can be solely used for medicinal properties without having the psychoactive effects (euphoria) .but same as the two sides of coins vaping has its own merits and demerits. MERITS OF VAPING

1. It is undoubtedly the fastest way for the onset of effects of marijuana in the patients requiring immediate pain relief within 5-7 minutes.
2. The amount of CBD intake can be very effectively altered as prescribed by marijuana doctors or specialists.
3. We can choose the best CBD oils available for the vapes. The CBD oils are most beneficial in cases where CBD is extracted using carbon-dioxide or ethanol as solvents as these are the cleanest methods for the manufacture of vape cartridges and doesn’t contain any other chemicals as impurities.

DEMERITS OF VAPING

1. Vaping is pretty new to the market and is not approved by the scientists as there are no long term studies about its adverse effects. But as of the recent case studies in the USA, there are 26 deaths related to heavy vaping.
2. It is not recommended for the persons who suffer from lung issues like asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchitis, emphysema, cystic fibrosis, etc. as vaping can increase those issues. Currently, there are more than 1400 cases of lung-related issues due to vaping in the USA alone.
3. For patients who are using marijuana almost daily and for the long term are restrained from using vapes for it may lead to any of the above-mentioned lung diseases.
4. In some cases when the vape pens heat the CBD oil cartridges which can degrade chemicals which can result in toxin formation and will be inhaled along with the CBD vapors.
5. Some people show allergic symptoms so certain kind of chemicals like propylene glycols and polyethylene glycols which are used in the CBD oil cartridges.
6. Studies show that the heating coils in the vape pens are subjected to release heavy metal sediments which are combined along with the CBD vapors and end up inside the human body.
7. We cannot be sure of the CBD oils cartridges as they might be with some additives or with unwanted substances like being diluted with medium-chain triglycerides (MCT)

The answer to the question is “NO, VAPING IS NOT GOOD” and is strongly avoided in medical cases where the marijuana doctors strongly restrain patients from vaping, as in their case they constantly require a dosage of marijuana and vaping might lead to severe health issues. the recommended method for the intake of medicinal marijuana is capsules, pills, patches, sprays which require some time for onset of action but have the least side effects as they can be provided in a controlled amount.  ADVERSE EFFECTS OF MARIJUANA Medicinal marijuana can ultimately be the herbal miracle for the patients who are in immediate need of pain relief but that can be achieved by the intake of a particular dosage as prescribed by marijuana doctors. Even the uncontrolled uptake of purified CBD or THC oils can also have serious effects on our body like dizziness, loss of static and dynamic balance, impairment of nervous system, acute memory loss, suppression of immune system, testicular cancer, mutation or changes in the human genome, decrease in brain functioning, etc. BOTTOM LINE  It all comes down to the user taking control of the medicine and if the user is successful to walk the proper way of medication as guided by the experts(marijuana doctors) then marijuana can be god’s gift to mankind.

Medical marijuana users claim the drug helps relieve pain and suppress nausea — the two main reasons it’s often used to relieve the side effects of chemotherapy.

Researchers at Harvard Medical School suggested that that some of the drug’s benefits may actually be from reduced anxiety, which would improve the smoker’s mood and act as a sedative in low doses. Beware, though, higher doses can increase anxiety and make you paranoid. 

A study, published in the journal Molecular Pharmaceutics, found that THC, the active chemical in marijuana, slows the formation of amyloid plaques by blocking the enzyme in the brain that makes them. These plaques seem to be what kill brain cells and potentially cause Alzheimer’s.

A synthetic mixture of CBD and THC seem to preserve memory in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease. Another study suggested that in population-based studies, a THC-based prescription drug called dronabinol was able to reduce behavioral disturbances in dementia patients.

Marijuana may ease painful symptoms of multiple sclerosis, a study published in the Medical Association Journal in May suggests.

A researcher studied multiple sclerosis patients with painful contractions in their muscles. These patients didn’t respond to other treatments, but after smoking marijuana for a few days they reported that they were in less pain.

The THC in the pot binds to receptors in the nerves and muscles to relieve pain. Other studies suggest that the chemical also helps control the muscle spasms.

Other types of muscle spasms respond to marijuana as well. Gupta also found a teenager who was using medical marijuana to treat diaphragm spasms that were untreatable by other, prescribed and very strong, medications.

His condition is called myoclonus diaphragmatic flutter (also known as Leeuwenhoek’s Disease) and causes non stop spasming in the abdominal muscles which are not only painful, but interfere with breathing and speaking.

Smoking marijuana was able to calm the attacks almost immediately, at least it seemed to in this patient.

Treatment for hepatitis C infection is harsh — negative side effects include fatigue, nausea, muscle aches, loss of appetite, and depression — and lasts for months. Many people aren’t able to finish their treatment course because of the side effects.

But, pot to the rescue: A 2006 study in the European Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology found that 86% of patients using marijuana successfully completed their Hep C therapy, while only 29% of non-smokers completed their treatment, possibly because the marijuana helps lessens the treatments side effects.

Marijuana also seems to improve the treatment’s effectiveness: 54% of hep C patients smoking marijuana got their viral levels low and kept them low, in comparison to only 8% of nonsmokers.

Patients with inflammatory bowel diseases like Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis could benefit from marijuana use, studies suggest. 

University of Nottingham researchers found in 2010 that chemicals in marijuana, including THC and cannabidiol, interact with cells in the body that play an important role in gut function and immune responses. The study was published in the Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics.

THC-like compounds made by the body increase the permeability of the intestines, allowing bacteria in. The plant-derived cannabinoids in marijuana block these body-cannabinoids, preventing this permeability and making the intestinal cells bond together tighter.

One study in Israel showed that smoking a joint significantly reduced Crohn’s disease symptoms in 10 out of 11 patients compared to a placebo and without side effects. 

That’s a small study, but other research has shown similar effects. Even more research finds that people with Crohn’s and other inflammatory bowel disorders use cannabis to help deal with their symptoms, even if there are questions about how much marijuana can or can’t help.

Marijuana alleviates pain, reduces inflammation, and promotes sleep, which may help relieve pain and discomfort for people with rheumatoid arthritis, researchers announced in 2011.



Medical marijuana is also being used to treat the autoimmune disease Systemic Lupus Ertyhematosus, which is when the body starts attacking itself for some unknown reason.

Researchers from rheumatology units at several hospitals gave their patients Sativex, a cannabinoid-based pain-relieving medicine. After a two-week period, people on Sativex had a significant reduction in pain and improved sleep quality compared to placebo users.

In excess of 300,000 Florida occupants have equipped for a restorative marijuana card since the state legitimized its utilization for certain wellbeing conditions. Getting therapeutic marijuana is a genuinely streamlined procedure, yet it can even now be befuddling. That is the reason we made a simple to pursue bit by bit manage on how to get your medicinal marijuana card in Florida. Getting a therapeutic marijuana card in Florida can take half a month and run you $200 to $300 before your ID card lands via the post office. The uplifting news is, when you’ve acquired your primary care physician’s referral and your medicinal marijuana-use registry card application.

Step 1: Get your medicinal records and make a meeting with a specialist

The initial phase in getting a Florida medical marijuana card is to get your medical records and get a marked doctor’s statement from a specialist. The Florida doctor must be enlisted in the state’s Medical Marijuana Use Registry.

Additionally please note that so as to get a medicinal cannabis card in Florida, you MUST be an inhabitant of the state. You should give evidence of residency, for instance, a Florida I.D, visa, or another type of photograph recognizable proof.

Step 2: Go to your consultation 

You and your doctor will talk about your therapeutic history and treatment choices, including dose. Some basic passing ailments incorporate malignant growth, seizures, and posttraumatic stress. Check here for a rundown of some other passing conditions. Your primary care physician will at that point compose your suggestion, enter your name and data into the Florida Marijuana Use Library, and furnish you with your patient ID number, which you’ll use to apply for your necessary ID card. Make certain to give your email address to get significant updates.

Costs change, however discussions normally cost around $150 per visit. Specialists can arrange close to three 70-day supplies per composed suggestion. Suggestion restorations require a conference each time. Protection doesn’t cover interviews, nor would you be able to pay with charge cards.

Step 3: Complete and present your application on the web

When your primary care physician has affirmed you for therapeutic marijuana use and you are in the library, you would then be able to present a finished application to the Workplace of Restorative Marijuana Use (or you can have the doctor’s office submit it for your sake).

Presenting the application is by a long shot the longest piece of the procedure – in some instances, it can take as much as three weeks for the DOH to survey your application and issue you your MMJ card, regardless of whether the entirety of your administrative work is all together.

You needn’t bother with the physical card to start shopping. Once your ID card application has been affirmed, you’ll get a transitory recognizable proof through email to use to dispatch your request until your card shows up.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here are two or three different things you should know:

• To keep up a functioning restorative marijuana-use reg distinguishing proof card, patients or guardians must present a recharging application, alongside the application charge and any necessary going with records, to the Division of Well-being 45 days before the card’s lapse date. Cards lapse one year after endorsement.
• Patients we met said their first suggestion required just one specialist’s visit enduring around one and a half hours. Some detailed getting their brief ID by email when eight days after their first discussion. Others said it took a month all the way.
• To keep up a functioning proof card, a patient (or their legitimate delegate) must annually submit a restoration application, alongside the application expense and any necessary going with reports to the office forty-five (45) days preceding the card termination date.

Where Can I Go To Get A Medical Marijuana Card in Florida?

Had the Amendment 2 not come into effect in Florida way back in January 2017, we wouldn’t be having this discussion. The amendment made it possible for patients suffering from debilitating, i.e. physically draining, medical conditions to buy medical weed—yes, legally. Although the law was passed back two years ago in the state of Florida, it has taken until now to take full swing.

Today, many dispensaries are now popping up in the state. The reason for this delay is because marijuana growers endure a strenuous process before opening up legal medical dispensaries. Now, Floridians have greater access to dozens of stores that are run by ‘marijuana doctors’. This bags the question: “how can I get a medical marijuana card?” Don’t look too far, because we’ve got the answers.

Getting a Medical Marijuana Card in Florida

If you followed the development of the Amendment 2 back in 2017, you’ll realize that the application process for medical marijuana card hasn’t changed. The most paramount requisite is to be a valid resident of the state. As such, this fact must be proven with a verification of residency. If you have this in check, then you can get started on the process. It goes thus:

Step 1: Take Your Sorted Medical Records to a Marijuana Doctor

Get used to it, marijuana doctors are actually a thing. They are basically the key to your medical marijuana card dreams. First, you’ll need to have your medical records sorted and, of course, signed by a physician who is registered under Florida’s Medical Marijuana Use Registry—the internet has a long list of such doctors. Keep in mind that you can’t get anything done if you don’t have a proof of residency, such as an ID, passport and other such identifications.

Step 2: Have a Marijuana Doctor Register You in the System

After getting your medical records signed by a qualified Florida physician and have handed over the papers to your Medical Marijuana Doctor, you have to wait for your information to be entered into the system. In this case, your name and other personal info are inserted into the Florida Marijuana Use Registry, also called the Compassionate Care Registry. This registry is operated by the Department of Health.

You cannot apply for a Florida medical marijuana card if your details aren’t officially in the registry. There are two ways you can get this done: via your doctor as aforementioned or by an ordering physician with the registry.

Step 3: Complete Your Application Online

Once your marijuana doctor has certified and endorsed your medical marijuana use, and your details have been added to the registry, you can then move onto the application phase. This is majorly done online and is, in fact, the longest part of the entire process. You first have to complete and submit your application to the Office of Medical Marijuana Use. Afterwards, you’ll have to wait a couple weeks for the Department of Health to review your application and then issue you your medical marijuana card. Ensure all you paperwork are filed properly to avoid complications.

Medical Conditions that Qualify for Marijuana Use

Not just any patient in Florida can apply for medical marijuana use. The following debilitating medical conditions are the only ailments recognized by the Florida Medical Marijuana Legalization Initiative (Amendment 2).

Cost of an MMJ Card includes fees of qualified physician and $75 registration fee for application.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT MEDICAL MARIJUANA IN FLORIDA

Medical marijuana is a concept that only came to existence in 2017 after a law was passed, allowing patients to use medical weed as part of their medication. However, the people who end up getting into the business of growing the plant have to have consented legal rights from the government as a way of curbing overusing of the drug.

You need to know that what makes the marijuana we are talking about here medical, is the controlled amounts of a component called THC that makes up the marijuana. With this, there are usually tried out experiments that qualify it to be used as a cure for these diseases. It is, therefore, proven theory and not just something that an idol person woke up thinking.

Who is qualified to prescribe the drug?

 You will need to understand that when it comes to medical marijuana, not just any doctor is certified to give you this go ahead. Professionally speaking, the doctor has to have gone through one year of post-graduate medical residency and a two-hour course that is state-mandated for anyone who wants to be in a position to have their patients use it.

It will, therefore, be quite easy to get quite a good number of doctors who can prescribe for you.  This is because there are over 2,300 doctors just in Florida at the moment who have rights like these and can offer you the services that you need.

Some other vital issue to know is that as a doctor, they will have to go through the test where they have to get at least 80 % pass of the test after every two years to validate their ability to continue prescribing this drug to their patients. Do not accept a prescription from a doctor who does not have the above qualifications.

 What diseases can be cured by medical marijuana?

As a user or potential user, you should be aware that there are legal rights that cover people who use medical marijuana, but it can only go so far. According to Amendment 2 of the legalization initiative, certain diseases certify you to use this drug. It is, therefore, not very easy for anyone to just get a card. You have to be medically unwell for you to get it.You should know them so that you don’t get duped or embarrassed.

What are some of the requirements before you take medical marijuana?

 If you are trying out the whole medical marijuana for the first time, then you should be keen on what the requirements are for you. These rules have very strict jurisdiction in this state. You should then be careful about them.

• You should have a medical diagnosis to certify you are using the drug from a doctor who has been verified to offer this type of prescription.
• You must be legally living in Florida and not intending to leave the state any time soon.
• In case you are below 18 years, you will need certification from two different physicians and a legal guardian or parent who will be involved in the registration process.
• Your treatment charts should show that you have tried other forms of treatment which have not worked before therefore opting for medical marijuana.
• You should and must be registered with the Compassionate Use Registry to get an MMJ card.
• There should be a report indicating whether the effects of the drug will not be deadly to you, the patient, who is using these drugs. It, therefore, helps to regulate the amounts of THC that you will be given to use.
• You should have a viable medical health plan that will help prove to the doctors that you want and need marijuana to get better health.
• There is a required medical marijuana education session you need to go through, which exposes you to the facts about this drug. It also prepares your mind for the possible side effects.
• You should not be taking any other drug that would interfere with the marijuana in your body, especially if you are using cannabis as a pain reliever.
• You may be needed to sign a detailed consent form that is part of the requirements.

 Can insurance cover the bills?

 The sad part about medical marijuana is that no medical cover in the world is certified to allow this one. A similar case in Florida. This includes even Medicare or Medicaid. You should always be prepared to deal with cash every time you are buying new meds, or you are renewing your card.

 MMJ card

For a user, you will, however, have to have a Florida Marijuana License (MMJ card) or the Compassionate Use Registry Card that will help you defend yourself in a court of law in case an issue is raised.

You should, however, be aware that there are changes that need to be paid regarding this card. Part of the process is also determined by how you pay them. The doctors, in most cases, will charge you consultation fee depending on your location and your doctor. There is also a basic $75 registration fee that has to be paid before the whole process can start.

Now, there are necessary steps that you will need to follow to get that card.

1. You need to be a legal resident of Florida
2. Have your medicals records and make an appointment with a certified medical marijuana doctor.
3. Get registered into the Florida Marijuana Use Registry, which will then make it possible for you to get the card.
4. Complete the application process online, which could even take you three weeks or more. It is detailed, therefore, a long process. You should be aware that your passport-type colored pictures will be needed. Be careful and ensure the accurate details are registered about you. A simple mistake could cost you your card.
5. You will then receive a confirmation from the DOH after they have reviewed your application.
6. You can then pick up your MMJ card and be in a position to enjoy the medical benefits of marijuana.

This card, however, is only functional for seven months, of which if you need to review it, you will have to go through the whole process again to have it registered all over again. Another thing you should keep in mind is that the renewal process has to be done 45 days before it expires. Otherwise, the law will not grant you a natural renewal of the card.

 Where can I get medical marijuana itself legally?

 This is one thing you should keep at the back of your mind every time you are going to refill your prescriptions. Not all venders are legal. Therefore, the drugs may not be up to the standards that you are looking for or rather need.

Within Florida, there are only 80 operating MMTC (medical marijuana treatment centers) that assures you of certified and standardized medical marijuana. Buying from any of these centers with the card should not be a problem, and you won’t have to keep looking over your shoulder.

You should also be aware that you can only use and get these drugs within Florida. Trying to access them outside or moving to other states with the drugs could cause you to face some legal charges even if the country you are going to also has legal rights over medical marijuana.

Some dispensaries even offer deliveries of medical marijuana. You will, however, need to be keen on knowing the type of cannabis you are using, the amount, the price, and the time it will be arriving.

 Essential hints for you to get your card faster.

 Ever tried getting something so much, but you kept hitting one issue after another. You get delayed because you did not know beforehand some of the tips that you need to follow to have a more natural process. The following things will give you a real head start.

1. Before visiting your doctor for the appointment, ask what is expected for you to do and what not to do. It will help you not to have to go to the meeting a second time.
2. Ensure all the details that the doctor uses in the registration is done well. A simple mistake will cause you to be denied and whole other long process for you trying to qualify yourself again.
3. Do it online. Unlike the manual process that will take you over 30 days to have your card, the online process will only take you ten days, and the card is in your hand. At times it could even be less than that.
4. You can use the email receipt that you will get after your card has been approved. This receipt helps you to purchase your medical marijuana just the same way your card will.

 Some of the warnings that come with taking medical marijuana

Just like any of the drugs in the market today, there are always risks and signs that people have to abide by if they don’t want to be affected by some of the adverse effects. When it comes to medical marijuana, the case is not different.

• Whenever you are starting the medication, you should begin low and start slow. This is basically to just allow your body to adjust to the drug and allow the full effect to start taking place.
• While starting the new medication, do it in the evenings or better yet during the weekend. There are cases in which the body of the user’s, kind of retaliates the first hours or days when you start using it. Therefore, to be safe and ensure you don’t miss class or work, try and fit it into your schedule well enough.
• The full effects of some of these drugs may even take months. It is, therefore, essential that you keep to your prescription. Any changes or decline in using it may lead to your body crashing down, causing a more disastrous effect than what was there before.
• Marijuana typically has a psychoactive nature that messes with the natural functioning of your mind and even body. Therefore, if you need to user your body that much, especially in case you are having a test or an exam, you should stay away from this drug. The amount of the drug will also profoundly affect your functioning. You need to be very careful.

 Myths that have come with the MMJ card.

 It is funny how people will never agree on one thing. No matter how much more good it is doing than bad. There is always a group of humans who will still want to find issues in the circumstances. Such people were able also to ruin the good that the medical marijuana card and everything about it brought to the people. Contact Us 8002506737.
