Benefits of Medical Marijuana

Cannabis has been shown to offer therapeutic benefits for a range of conditions, making it a valuable option for those seeking relief. For individuals with PTSD, cannabis can help reduce anxiety and intrusive thoughts, allowing for a more stable mental state. Chronic pain sufferers often find cannabis effective in managing their symptoms without the harsh side effects of traditional painkillers. Those with anxiety may experience calming effects that alleviate stress, while cancer patients benefit from its ability to reduce nausea and pain associated with chemotherapy. For people with multiple sclerosis, cannabis may help ease muscle stiffness and spasms, improving mobility and comfort. Additionally, some individuals with autism find that cannabis can help regulate mood and behavior. If you or someone you know is struggling with any of these conditions, a medical marijuana card might provide much-needed relief. Call The Green Remedy to explore how cannabis could improve your quality of life.

The Pandemic, Mental Health & Cannabis

When we first heard about COVID-19 at the end of 2019, who would’ve thought that in May of 2021 life as we knew it would still not be back to normal? Unfortunately, that is the situation we are in.

Many of us have managed to cope well with the changes that have been thrown our way due to the pandemic but, many of us have struggled. The pandemic has introduced a great deal of worry, fear, anxiety, stress, loneliness, uncertainty and concern. It has altered our routines and financial situation. Isolation can be tough. Social distancing from your loved ones can be tough. Change can be tough. The decrease in access to medical professionals can be tough. Even running regular errands can be tough! It’s important to find ways to take care of your mental health, however, it’s not always easy.

This post is in no way to encourage people to use medical cannabis to deal with the pandemic. However, it is meant to inform people that the anxieties you’ve been dealing with pre and post pandemic could be treated with cannabis. Anxiety is one of the qualifying conditions to use medical cannabis in the state of Pennsylvania. Many of us deal with anxiety disorders on a daily basis. Some may have already spoken to a medical professional about it, but many have not. 

We encourage you to take control of your mental health and speak to someone if you are having difficulties coping with this new life we are forced to live. Reach out to our primary care doctor or simply Google “mental health providers” in your area.

We are in this together.
