We Usually tell our patients it will take between 3-5 business days before you get your medical marijuana card by email. But in reality, we have no idea when the Dept of Health will process your application. There is a page on the Dept of Health’s website that gives you their processing times and if they’re backed up. You can view this by clicking here. So we kindly request you do not contact us asking when you’ll receive it, since we have no control over it.

The interaction of one drug with another is
always a concern for any patient and their doctor:

● Ask your doctor. While there are online
databases that allow you to check for
drug interactions, many of them may
not include cannabis or its derivatives.

● Your doctor will have a better idea
about how your medications will
interact with marijuana.

● Please make sure you check before you
start to avoid any potentially unhealthy
issues.

Yes there are some activities you should avoid, including:

● You won’t want to go for a drive or for a
long walk or cook a big meal the first
few times you take the treatment.

● Again, your doctor will help you decide
what you can and can’t do while you are
taking medical marijuana.

Some positive side effects to consuming
cannabis are laughter, increased appetite,
nausea reduction, feelings of euphoria, and
relaxation of muscles in the body, among other positive side effects.

While not everyone reacts negatively, some negative side effects are known to be paranoia, short term memory loss, and involuntary fatigue or feeling of immense sleepiness. 

Negative side effects caused by cannabis plant consumption are not as frequent as the positive side effects experienced with it.

In severe cases, marijuana use disorder can take on a more serious addiction. The disorder itself is caused by the development of problem use of the plant. If someone uses cannabis very frequently and then quits, they often report up to 2 weeks of irritability, cravings, restlessness, trouble sleeping, decreased appetite, and other
forms of physical discomfort. While the plant itself is not addictive, moderation for the plant is always ideal.

Qualified medical marijuana patients are
allowed to purchase four ounces of marijuana in a fifteen-day period. Therefore, patients are allowed to purchase up to eight ounces or the equivalent of manufactured marijuana products, during a given month.
