How Does Medical Marijuana Work?
Medical marijuana contains active compounds such as THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (Cannabidiol), which interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system to help regulate pain, mood, and other physiological functions. Unlike conventional pain medications, medical marijuana offers a safer alternative with fewer risks of overdose and addiction.
What Conditions Can Medical Marijuana Help Treat?
In Florida, medical marijuana is approved for a variety of conditions, including:
- Cancer
- Epilepsy
- Glaucoma
- HIV/AIDS
- PTSD
- ALS
- Crohn’s Disease
- Multiple Sclerosis
- Chronic non-malignant pain
- Terminal conditions diagnosed by another physician
Our team will help determine if you qualify for medical marijuana treatment and guide you through the certification process.
What Are the Benefits of Medical Marijuana?
Medical marijuana offers several advantages over traditional medications:
- Safer Pain Management: Unlike opioids, medical marijuana does not affect the respiratory centers of the brain, reducing the risk of overdose.
- Rapid Relief: In vape form, medical marijuana can be absorbed by the lungs within two minutes, providing quicker relief for pain, anxiety, and seizures.
- Reduced Inflammation: CBD, a component of medical marijuana, helps reduce inflammation, offering additional benefits beyond pain relief.
- Lower Addiction Risk: Medical marijuana is less addictive than alcohol and tobacco, making it a safer long-term treatment option.

While medical marijuana is effective for many conditions, it can cause side effects such as:
- Short-term memory loss
- Drowsiness
- Dizziness
- Dry mouth
- Euphoria
- Anxiety

It’s important to avoid driving or operating machinery while under the influence of medical marijuana.
