Over time marijuana’s benefits have been used for recreational and medical purposes. Marijuana’s medicinal use was known for centuries dating back to 500 BC Asia, according to History.com.

With the increase of legal marijuana and the research of how it helps those battling illnesses like Cancer or AIDS, more people are smoking it to feel better.

If you live in a state where a medical marijuana prescription is possible, you’re very fortunate.

Read along as we discuss a medical marijuana prescription and what conditions make a person eligible for obtaining one.

What is Medical Marijuana Prescription?

A medical marijuana prescription allows an eligible patient to purchase and use cannabis to help alleviate symptoms to qualifying ailments.

A person must visit a medical cannabis-friendly physician and get a diagnosis for a condition eligible for cannabis treatment. The diagnosis must be no older than five years to buy from a Canadian marijuana clinic.

The online application gets completed and submitted. Afterward, you will meet with a specialist to get evaluated for card eligibility.

Click here to learn more about a medical marijuana treatment clinic.

Below are qualifying ailments for buying medical marijuana.

1. Low Appetite and Weight Loss of Cancer or HIV/AIDS

People suffering from cancer or HIV/AIDS often endure low appetite and weight loss. Cancer patients might not feel like eating because of chemotherapy or radiation treatment side effects of nausea or dizziness. HIV/AIDS patients might lose their appetite or weight because of their medication side effects or illnesses acquired due to a weak immune system.

Medical cannabis helps boost appetite in patients, thereby allowing them to gain back weight lost.

2. Multiple Sclerosis Muscle Spasms

Multiple sclerosis creates painful muscle spasms for people with this diagnosis. MS targets the patient’s brain, nerves, and spinal cord, according to WebMD.com. Marijuana allows the person’s muscles to relax and reduce the pain. It might help the person to sleep better.

3. Chronic Pain

Chronic pain is a reality for people with cancer, diabetes, and nerve damage, according to Medical News Today. Different strains of cannabis produce varying results. The indica strain might work better for pain and sleeping.

When selecting your medical marijuana at the clinic, speak with an employee to choose the best strain for your symptoms.

4. Depression

Although the research of marijuana’s impact on depression is in the early stages it might offer benefits for people with the disorder, according to Healthline.com. Marijuana might help mood stabilization and restore endocannabinoid function.

5. Nausea and Vomiting

Nausea and vomiting are never enjoyable. Whether it’s caused by cancer treatment, HIV/AIDS, diabetes, or gastrointestinal issues, people suffering from nausea and vomiting might benefit from medical cannabis and should consult their doctor for more information.

Speak With Your Doctor

If you believe your symptoms qualify for a medical marijuana prescription, speak with your doctor. No one should suffer in silence when treatment is available.
