It lets you purchase medical cannabis from any dispensary in CA. Your MMR is valid until the expiration date; you do not need a new MMR after Jan. 1.\n(2) a state issued Medical Marijuana Identification Card (MMIC) - you must apply for this. You can only get this card if you already have an MMR. This gives you a small tax discount on medical cannabis purchases. You do NOT need this card to purchase medical marijauana from a dispensary.\n\nDanielle Lim ","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8725-markdown","title":"is it legal to have a medical marijuana edible in a california airport?","slug":"is-it-legal-to-have-a-medical-marijuana-edible-in-a-california-airport","content":"\n_____________________\nPlease check out this previously answered question that deals with the legalities of transporting or flying with cannabis. \n\nashleigh","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8711-markdown","title":"Can Cannabis cause short term memory loss in a 90 year old?","slug":"can-cannabis-cause-short-term-memory-loss-in-a-90-year-old","content":"\n_____________________\nHi there!

In it he decribes some of the drug interactions with cannabis, might be a good place to start.\nhttps://healer.com/health-provider-education/\n\nPiantaTinta\n_____________________\nThank you for the great question. \nThere  are several drugs which are affected by cannabis (and vice versa.)  Because ingested cannabis travels through the liver before entering the  blood stream (first-pass metabolism), edibles have the most pronounced  effect on medications which are changed and broken down by the liver.  And since marijuana affects a few different enzymes, either inducting or  inhibiting, marijuana  might increase or decrease how quickly the liver breaks down some  medications. \n\n\n\ndrkim","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8700-markdown","title":"CBD or THC?","slug":"cbd-or-thc","content":"\"Hello, I have been using cannabis for chronic pain for some time as a result of encephalitis (LYME). My daily symptoms include (neuropathic) headaches, sleep disturbances, neurocognitive disorders, psychological problems, and more. Cannabis with (higher) THC helps me like no other medicine in the world. However, cannabis acts only for few hours then all symptoms come back. On the Internet, I read that the main difference between THC and CBD is that THC substitutes a function of natural \"receptors\" (works only symptomatically), but CBD restores their function (works currativelly). Unfortunatelly a dose of CBD does not give me any relief. My question is: is it please possible that my symptoms might gradually disappear with long-term therapy only on CBD or do I have to keep combine with THC to feel the effect?\"\n_____________________\nWell, as far as I've experience the CBD product, it gave me really good relief from my symptoms.\nI would like to say that if you want relief permenantly, you should wait and watch. CBD may give you temperory effect on your symptoms, but it will surely cure your diesease.\nTalking about THC, I really suggest you not to take the CBD product which include THC. Because THC simply makes you high and is illigel as well.\nYou can take any CBD product which contains less than 0.3% THC.\n\nI suggest you to take Green Roads World's CBD Oil (https://www.greenroadsworld.com/collections/cbd-cannabis-oils) for that.\n\nsebastianwross\n_____________________\nUnfortunately there is no 1 size fits all with cannabis and no 'silver bullet'. Most often symptom relief for any medical condition comes by slowly figuring out what combination of products, cannibinoids and possible ratios work for you. Many people believe that CBD is more effective when used in combination with THC and all the other cannbinoids-CBN, CBG, THCA and so on. This is called the entourage effect. THC can be very minimal and not cause a psychoactive high, especially when in combination with CBD.\n\nIn my experience talking with people, LYME is most often 'cured' by something other than cannabis-alternative treatments, etc. People I have spoken with indicate that cannabis is best for symptom relief for the inflammation, insomnia and pain associated. I am not a doctor but I would caution you if anyone says cannabis is a cure for your medical condition. I like to say it is a tool for potential health and wellness when used appropriately. \n\npamelahadfield","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8693-markdown","title":"Need assistance finding info?","slug":"need-assistance-finding-info","content":"\"My brother was involved in a car accident years ago leaving him with a TBI. I have read that Cannabis can be life changing for people with Muscle spasticity. Does anyone know what is needed CMD? Were in TN so where could I fly to get it or go about this?

An oral preparation of high CBD tincture may also be of great benefit for his brain function and to reduce internal pain and inflammation. He could be much more comfortable in his body. \n\ndrolson","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8681-markdown","title":"How do I go about renewing my Medical Cannabis ID Card please?","slug":"how-do-i-go-about-renewing-my-medical-cannabis-id-card-please","content":"","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8673-markdown","title":"ptsd and cannabis","slug":"ptsd-and-cannabis","content":"","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8652-markdown","title":"What are the rules for growing marijuana with a California medical marijuana card?","slug":"what-are-the-rules-for-growing-marijuana-with-a-california-medical-marijuana-card","content":"\n_____________________\nFor personal use - \"Qualified patients are exempt from the state permit program if cultivating less than 100 square feet for personal medical use.
