Ever so slowly, anecdotal and studied analysis on Medical Marijuana and the promise it showed for treating varied physical ailments, began to find its way onto the edge of mainstream medicine. The results became harder and harder to ignore. But with every success story came the sad followup of how somebody had ended up on the wrong side of the law for trying to help themselves, or somebody they loved. That was until now.
Over the years, millions of Americans across the country - many with little or no hope - have searched in vain for alternative forms of treatment when the meds and protocols they were given failed to provide relief for the chronic, disabling, and potentially fatal medical issues facing them.
The evidence is overwhelming that Marijuana can relieve certain types of pain, nausea, vomiting, and other symptoms caused by illnesses like multiple sclerosis, cancer, and AIDS - or by the harsh drugs sometimes used to treat them. And it can do so with remarkable safety. Indeed, Marijuana is less toxic than many of the drugs that physicians prescribe every day.” - Joycelyn Elders, Former Surgeon General of the United States
Legal Cannabis has proven beneficial for a wide range of ailments and is now legal in thirty-three states and the District of Columbia. What was once a potentially life-changing decision about breaking the law to find treatment for illness and life threatening disease, has become a non-factor in well over half the states in the country.
Being Legal Easy as One, Two, Three
The current generation of #Cannabis users are the beneficiaries of constant and organized efforts aimed at not just legalizing Marijuana, but bringing it to the forefront of alternative medical therapies. Relatively speaking, we are just now beginning to reap the benefits of the organized Cannabis research which preceded the various legislative actions currently in place, and those pending.
While Federal Legislation of Cannabis Legalization is still a work in progress, individual state initiatives and laws currently in place have significantly reduced the criminal connotation associated with Marijuana usage, especially for wellness purposes.
For those in need of some specific guidelines for Utilizing Cannabis AND Staying Legal, here are a few simple steps to follow:
• Schedule an Appointment With a Qualified Physician - Just as with your family doctor, you can’t simply walk into a Cannabis Doctor’s office and expect to be seen immediately. Show up on time, wait patiently for your turn, and answer all questions accurately and respectfully - in other words, act normal!
• Make Sure the Doctor You’re Seeing Is a CannaDocFL Physician - The office should be as professional and informative as any other business environment. You will be speaking with a Highly-Trained Medical Authority who will able to provide Legal Marijuana Recommendations based on the information you provide during your visit. You will NOT be given a prescription or physical exam for a #MarijuanaCard.
• Be Patient. Approval Takes 10 Days - If you show up at a local dispensary expecting to find your name in a computer database with an Approval Status, or call within the 10-Day timeframe asking about approval, or are found to be commuting without the Proper License in hand, you will not be legal!
Legal Is The Best Medicine
Medical Marijuana in Florida was signed into law on March 18, 2019. Under the law, patients are now able to purchase 2.5 ounces of whole Flower Cannabis every thirty-five days IF a recommendation has been written by a Licensed Physician - Prescriptions are not permitted under federal law. To be deemed eligible for Medical Marijuana, certain qualifying conditions must be met which vary from state to state.
Qualifying Medical Conditions can cover a wide selection of issues, ranging from cancer and epilepsy to pain and nervousness. Knowing what conditions are consideredqualifying in a specific state can be fairly easily researched. More importantly, all #CannabisDoctors who write recommendations for Medical Marijuana are well versed in the legal parameters and resulting benefits regarding its usage. What may be legal in Florida, however, may not be legal in a neighboring state like Georgia.
As is the case in any new industry, business, or sporting event, knowing the rules of the game is an important factor in being able to take advantage of the related benefits. For anyone who has not followed the very long road to legality Marijuana Advocates have been traveling on for a very long time, being able to access marijuana in any way, shape, or form, has been a long-time coming.
The Increasing Number of Health Benefits behind the push for Medical Marijuana was, and continues to be, a major factor in its Growing Legal Status.
