How does medical cannabis compare to high-street CBD products?
Held to the highest pharmaceutical standards, medical cannabis ensures purity, potency, and consistency.
Over-the-counter CBD products – like oils and drinks sold in wellness stores, do not undergo the same rigorous testing and may contain inconsistent CBD levels.In addition, THC, the compound responsible for many of cannabis’s therapeutic effects, is only legally available with a prescription.
Is medical cannabis addictive? Can it cause withdrawal symptoms?
Medical cannabis carries a lower risk of addiction compared to recreational cannabis and certain prescription medications like opioids. While high-THC products can pose a hazard if misused, our specialists carefully manage dosing and monitor patients regularly to ensure safe and effective use.
Does medical cannabis make you feel high?
The goal of medical cannabis treatment is to manage symptoms, not create a high. Our clinicians work closely with patients to determine the correct dosage and cannabinoid ratio to maximize benefits while minimizing psychoactive effects.
What conditions can medical cannabis help with?
Medical cannabis may be prescribed for a range of physical and mental health conditions when other treatments haven’t worked. Research supports its potential benefits for conditions such as chronic pain, anxiety, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, and PTSD.

What is the endocannabinoid system?
The endocannabinoid system ( on short ECS) is a complex network of receptors and neurotransmitters that we all have in our body. This system helps maintain balance in the body. It regulates pain, mood, memory, appetite, and immune response. Medical cannabis works by supporting this system to restore balance and improve overall well-being.
How does medical cannabis affect your body?
Medical cannabis interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS), which regulates mood, pain, sleep, and inflammation. Cannabinoids like THC and CBD help modulate this system, potentially reducing symptoms while improving the quality of life for patients with certain medical conditions. Find out more about the medical conditions we cover here.
What’s the difference between indica and sativa?
Indica and sativa are two of the main species of the cannabis plant. Indica strains were traditionally known for their relaxing effects.
Sativa strains are associated with increased energy and daytime use. However, in medical cannabis, the focus is on the specific combination of cannabinoids and terpenes rather than the plant species. Our specialists tailor treatment based on the most effective formulation for your condition.
What’s the difference between CBD and THC?
CBD (cannabidiol) and THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) are the most well-known cannabinoids in the plant.
CBD interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system and other pathways like serotonin, offering potential benefits without causing a “high.”
THC, on the other hand, binds directly to cannabinoid receptors and is responsible for the psychoactive effects associated with cannabis.
Medical cannabis treatments may contain a balance of THC and CBD, customized to suit each patient’s unique health needs.
What’s the difference between medical cannabis and medical marijuana?
Medical cannabis and medical marijuana refer to the same thing. Doctor-prescribed cannabis-based treatments designed to help manage specific health conditions.While terms like “medical weed” or “medical pot” are sometimes used informally, they’re less precise and often associated with recreational use. Our focus is on safe, legal, and effective medical cannabis treatments for individual patient needs.
