Monadnock medical cannabis Care
Medical Cannabis patients deserve a health care provider with specialization in this field.
Cannabis Medicine - sometimes called Medical Marijuana - is a botanical medicine. It can be a safe and very beneficial therapy for many health conditions. But cannabis is a complex plant with many characteristics. Having a good understanding of the nature of the plant and both the therapeutic and potential adverse effects is essential.
A thorough medical and health history, and conversation about your intentions and goals for medical cannabis use help guide a good plan of care.
Thoughtful choice of delivery forms of cannabis medicine and careful dosing are keys to getting the optimal benefit and avoiding unwanted effects.

Therapeutic use of the Cannabis plant is a fascinating, groundbreaking development in science, medicine, and social change.
Thousands of years of human use, and decades of scientific research from all over the world affirm the remarkable ways the active compounds in the cannabis plant interact with our bodies to nourish and support our own innate endocannabinoid system - understood now to be key in regulating balance and smooth functioning of our most vital physiological processes - particularly for brain, hormonal, and immune system health.

After assessment and conversation about your concerns, we will determine if Cannabis Medicine is a good option for you. Sometimes other integrative and botanical medicine therapies are more or concurrently appropriate, and I will offer you these suggestions and resources.
I do not sell or dispense cannabis medicines.
I provide personalized education, guidance, and advocacy relevant to your interest in the use of therapeutic cannabis. I do not assume the role of primary health care provider for the conditions you are treating. I work in collaboration with you, and your other health care providers when appropriate, to support you in the use of cannabis medicine as part of an integrative approach to your care.
