Once you obtain your recommendation and/or card, you’re qualified to enter marijuana dispensaries and purchase cannabis products in various forms such as; pills, oil, smokable cannabis…

• Cannabis is a plant that makes a thick substance full of compounds called cannabinoids. There are more than 100 of these chemicals in cannabis. They cause drug-like reactions in your body. CBD (cannabidiol) and THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) are the most common cannabinoids found in cannabis products. THC and CBD are in both marijuana and hemp. Marijuana contains much more THC than hemp, while hemp has a lot of CBD. Both CBD and THC work with receptors that release neurotransmitters in your brain. They can affect things like pain, mood, sleep, and memory. THC is the main psychoactive component of the cannabis plant. In other words, THC is the primary agent responsible for creating the ‘high’ associated with recreational cannabis use.

This compound works, in part, by mimicking the effects of anandamide and 2-AG. These neurotransmitters are produced naturally by the human body and help to modulate sleeping and eating habits, the perception of pain, and countless other bodily functions. CBD has the same chemical formula as THC, with the atoms in a different arrangement. This slight variance causes THC to create a psychoactive effect, while CBD does not. This fact means that when you ingest CBD for medical purposes, you will more likely experience a relief of your unwanted discomfort, with little or no noticeable effect on your cognitive abilities. Research suggests CBD may be better for inflammation and neuropathic pain, while THC may excel with spasticity and cramp-related pain. Experts suggest that a combination of THC and CBD is the ideal way to approach pain, giving validity to something known as the entourage effect.

The use of cannabis products for medical treatment contains level of THC that will be present in your body in the event of a drug screening. Many employers may consider the presence of THC as a violation of their company drug policies. Until legislations provides a distinction otherwise, the use of cannabis products for medical treatment is a voluntary choice, and the patient must understand that potential risks to employment associated.

Louisiana residents of all ages may receive a medical marijuana recommendation if they meet the qualifications for the current conditions approved for Medical Marijuana Treatment in Louisiana.
