WHEN DID MARIJUANA FIRST STARTED AS A MEDICINE?

• THE USE OF MARIJUANA AS A MEDICAL HERB DATED BACK HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOUSANDS, OF YEARS AGO.

• DURING THIS MODERN ERA, IT IS CURRENTLY USED AS A CURE TO CHRONIC AND SERIOUS DISEASES.

• IT IS EVEN USED TO ALLEVIATE PAIN AND OFFERS THE PATIENTS SOME COMFORT FROM CHRONIC PAIN.

• EVEN WITH THESE MEDICAL BENEFITS THAT CAN BE REAPED FROM MARIJUANA, THERE ARE STILL SEVERAL STATES THAT CONSIDER THIS AS AN ILLEGAL DRUG.

• SINCE IT IS STILL ILLEGAL IN SOME STATES, IT IS NOT ALLOWED YET TO BE USED IN THE PUBLIC.

EDUCATING THE PUBLIC THROUGH THE DISPENSARIES

• THE GENERAL PUBLIC IS NOT YET AWARE WITH THE MEDICAL BENEFITS FROM THE MMJ.

• THIS IS ONE OF THE MAIN GOALS OF OPENING A DISPENSARY: TO HELP IN EDUCATING THE PUBLIC ABOUT THE MEDICAL MARIJUANA.

• WHEN USED UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF A QUALIFIED DOCTOR OR MEDICAL PRACTITIONER, MARIJUANA CAN CURE AND RELIEVE THE PAIN THAT IS CAUSED BY SOME HEALTH COMPLICATIONS.

IS MARIJUANA ADDICTIVE?

• SEVERAL PEOPLE STILL BELIEVE THAT MEDICAL CANNABIS IS ACTUALLY ADDICTIVE, AND MAY INCREASE THE DEPENDENCY ON DRUGS.

• HOWEVER, RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THERE IS NO SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THE CLAIM THAT MARIJUANA CAN BE ADDICTIVE.

• IT DOES NOT HAVE A CHEMICAL CONTENT THAT MAY TRIGGER DRUG ADDICTION WHILE USING IT FOR MEDICAL PURPOSES, AS BELIEVED BY SEVERAL PEOPLE.

• THERE ARE OTHER MISCONCEPTIONS AS WELL THAT USING MMJ CAN LEAD TO THE USE OF HARDER DRUGS SUCH AS COCAINE.

• BUT THEN AGAIN, THIS IS NOT TRUE.

• MEDICAL CANNABIS CAN BE SMOKED, DURING THE TREATMENT, BUT THIS IS NOT THE ONLY METHOD TO INGEST IT.

OTHER METHODS TO INGEST MARIJUANA

• SYNTHETIC MARIJUANA CAN BE TAKEN IN AS PILLS AND TABLETS.

• WHEN OPENING A DISPENSARY, YOU SHOULD ALSO EDUCATE YOUR PATIENTS ABOUT THE OTHER WAYS OF INGESTING MARIJUANA.

• THE FLOWERS AND THE LEAVES CAN BE SOAKED IN AN ALCOHOL TO EXTRACT THE CANNABINOID CONTENTS OF IT.

• THE INFUSION CAN THEN BE MIXED WITH WINE, WITH TEA, AND OTHER DRINKS AND FOODS.

• OR, IT CAN BE MIXED IN A SKIN PATCH FOR IT TO BE DIRECTLY ABSORBED BY THE SKIN.

• MOREOVER, THE ACTIVE INGREDIENT OF THE MARIJUANA CAN ALSO BE TRANSFERRED TO THE COOKING OIL BY SIMMERING THE MMJ IN THE OIL.

• BUTTER MAY BE USED ALSO INSTEAD OF OIL.

• THEN, THE OIL CAN BE USED TO COOK ANY FOOD THAT THE PATIENT IS ALLOWED TO EAT.

MARIJUANA AND MEMORY LOSS

• THERE ARE TESTS THOUGH SHOWING THAT THE USE OF MEDICAL MARIJUANA CAN CAUSE SHORT TERM MEMORY LOSS TO SOME PATIENTS.

• HOWEVER, THIS IS SHORT-TERM ONLY, AND NOT LONG-TERM, AS BELIEVED BY SEVERAL PEOPLE.

• MARIJUANA CANNOT ALSO AFFECT THE INTELLIGENCE OF A PERSON.

• THE MEDICAL CANNABIS IS A NATURAL MEDICINE BUT THE MYTHS AND MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT IT ARE MUCH EXAGGERATED.

WHERE IS THE BEST PLACE TO OPEN A DISPENSARY?

• THE STATE OF COLORADO IS ONE OF THE STATES IN THE US THAT WELCOMED THE USE OF MEDICAL MARIJUANA THE MOST.

• THUS, OPENING A DISPENSARY IN COLORADO IS EASIER AS COMPARED TO OTHER STATES.
