Medical marijuana cards (often referred to as medical cannabis cards) are issued to those who suffer from one or more (but not limited to) the following chronic health conditions:
- Multiple sclerosis and associated muscle spasms
- Nausea caused by chemotherapy
- Nerve pain
- Seizure disorders (such as epilepsy)
- Crohn’s disease
Traditional medical therapies might not work for everyone and we understand that could be the reason you are looking for a medical marijuana (medical cannabis) card. Scientific research has shown just how efficient marijuana can be in treating long-term health problems. In fact, not only is it often recommended by doctors in the treatment of many health problems, scientific and clinical studies have proven that a chemical in marijuana called cannabinoids, has led to the development of two FDA-approved medications.
