STARTING MEDICAL CANNABIS
Quick and Basic Cannabis Info

Here are some basics to consider: 

Choose the Right Strain: There are various strains of cannabis with different cannabinoid profiles. Your health care provider, budtender or pharmacist at the dispensary can help you select a strain that is best suited to your medical condition and desired effects.

 Start with a Low Dose: If recommended, begin with a low dose to assess your tolerance and how your body responds. It's crucial to titrate your dose carefully to avoid adverse effects.

Monitor Effects: Keep a journal to track the effects of medical cannabis on your symptoms and overall well-being. This information can help you and your healthcare provider or budtender make necessary adjustments.

 Be Informed About Side Effects: Be aware of potential side effects, such as dizziness or dry mouth, and report any adverse reactions to your health care provider and/or budtender, next time you are at the dispensary.

 Ongoing Communication: Maintain open communication with your healthcare provider to discuss any concerns or changes in your medical condition.
Remember that medical cannabis is a complex treatment option, and its effectiveness can vary among individuals. What works for one person may not work the same way for another. 

CANNABIS SMOKING/VAPING

BENEFITS: 
*Rapid onset of effects, often felt within minutes of inhalation
*Preferred method for managing acute symptoms like pain or anxiety
*Effects tend to be relatively short-lived, typically lasting 1 to 3 hours, which can necessitate more frequent use for sustained relief
*Vaping produces fewer harmful byproducts due to not involving combustion.

DOWNSIDES:
*Temporary side effects like dry mouth, red eyes, increased heart rate, and impaired cognitive function, especially at higher doses. 
*Smoking cannabis, whether through joints or pipes, can expose users to potentially harmful toxins found in smoke. 
*Long-term smoking may have adverse effects on lung health. 

CANNABIS EDIBLES

BENEFITS: 
*Longer-lasting effects, which can persist for 4 to 6 hours or even longer, making them ideal for sustained relief from conditions like chronic pain or insomnia. 

DOWNSIDES:
*Onset is typically slower, often taking 30 minutes to 2 hours to kick in.
*Delayed onset can catch some users off guard, leading to overconsumption if not patient. 
This can make it challenging to titrate the correct dose, leading to potential side effects like anxiety, paranoia, or dizziness if too much is consumed. 
*Some individuals may experience gastrointestinal discomfort or lethargy with edibles. 

It's crucial to start with a low dose and wait patiently for the effects to avoid adverse reactions and maximize the therapeutic benefits of cannabis edibles.
