METABOLIZING MEDICAL CANNABIS

The form of cannabis and the method of its consumption profoundly affect how it works as a medicine. Different forms of cannabis have unique chemistries and the body metabolizes them differently. Various delivery methods impact the speed and efficiency with which a cannabis medicine works—and how long its effects will last. Due to cannabis prohibition and portrayals of cannabis use originating in the marijuana underground, there are not many popular models for using cannabis medicinally that are actually effective. For example, a bong is not the ideal way to take one’s medicine.

As a natural product, cannabis has a shelf life, and knowing how to store it properly will extend its storage life. Occasionally, there is more in a sample of medical cannabis than should rightfully be there. Learning how to spot the various contaminants, and knowing which of them require a laboratory to detect, is a key skill for patients. Above all, learning how to master cannabis delivery methods and dosage can be of significant help in finding the best way to treat your specific medical condition.
