Medical cannabis is highly supported to help manage and control symptoms associated with various physical ailments and mental health disorders, particularly those most frequently experienced by Canada’s Veteran population. Speak with one of our cannabis doctors to learn how you can use medical marijuana to control a wide array of conditions, including:
Palliative Care
The use of medical cannabis in palliative care is something that isn’t discussed enough. Although the primary reason for cannabis use among most patients stems from pain management, this recent study conducted in Israel on over 3,000 cancer patients revealed:
Symptom Improval:
✔Sleep (70.8%)
✔Fatigue (55.9%)
✔Anxiety/Depression (74.1%)
Patients reporting good quality of life increased to 69.5% from 18.7%. 36% of patients stopped using opioids. <20% discontinued cannabis treatment, of which 19.3% stopped due to side effects.
This means that cannabis based medicines (CBM) could be an important part of palliative care for patients with cancer and other conditions that require multi-symptom relief.
You don’t have to smoke cannabis to feel the benefits
There are many ways to consume cannabis that do not involve smoking it. These different methods of consumption, along with the dosage and strain of the cannabis, will vary from patient to patient depending on their unique health concerns. Some of the common methods include:
Oral ingestion (capsules, edibles and tinctures)
Topically (creams, salves and patches)
