Medical cannabis refers to the use of marijuana for medical reasons. Marijuana contains chemicals that interact with your body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS).
Your ECS is a cell-signaling system that plays a role in managing pain, sleep, appetite, and general well-being. The chemicals in marijuana may improve the function of your ECS, easing medical symptoms like pain, poor appetite, and sleep problems.
In order to use marijuana for medical purposes in Minnesota, you need medical cannabis certification. This certification must come from a Minnesota-licensed physician, physician assistant, or advanced practice registered nurse.
Advanced Spine and Pain Clinics provides medical cannabis certification after a thorough evaluation to determine if you have a qualifying condition.
