Alabama’s medical cannabis program restricts certification for medical ma*****na to patients with one or more of 16 qualifying medical conditions. To obtain certification, a doctor must evaluate the patient and verify that the patient has a qualifying condition.

More and more studies are being published that demonstrate medical ma*****na is effective in reducing the use of chronic opioid use for pain. In light of the opioid addiction and overdose epidemic, these research results are going to be practice-changing in Alabama once medical ma*****na is available.

For those interested, the most recent one that I saw last week is “Medical Cannabis Used as an Alternative Treatment for Chronic Pain Demonstrates Reduction in Chronic Opioid Use – A Prospective Study” by Benedict et al, published in the Pain Physician Journal.

Each cannabis strain makes you feel a little bit different—for instance, one might be relaxing, and another, a bit more energizing. It's not just the CBD:THC that is responsible for this. There are over 100 terpenes that we know of in the cannabis plant. These have an important influence on your body's response, as well.

CBD, cannabis and ma*****na: What’s the difference? CBD derived from h**p is already available over-the-counter. Medical cannabis will be heavily regulated.

Happy Valentine's Day! Amidst all this, let's love one another.

Cannabis isn’t ‘the Devil’s lettuce.’ Nor does it dumb you down or make you want to eat the entire contents of your fridge. Given the legalization of medical ma*****na in Alabama, we hope that the ‘stoner stereotype’ will subside. https://greenlightalabama.com

Anxiety is defined as the body’s response to stress, fear, or worry about what’s to come. Sometimes the body's response gets out of hand. There is evidence that ma*****na can help with the symptoms of anxiety. https://greenlightalabama.com

Taking care of your body and your mind isn't always easy or quick. This is true of getting started on medical cannabis. It requires some experimentation...some trial and error...some patience.
