Patient Profile and Baseline Condition

Potential Benefits of Cannabis for Your Condition

Risks and Safety Considerations

General Risks: Common side effects include tiredness, dizziness, dry mouth, and potential psychological effects. Tolerance to these side effects usually develops over time.

Potential Interactions with Medications and Substances

  • Medications: Cannabis can interact with other medications, especially those metabolized by certain liver enzymes (CYP450). It may increase the sedative effects of other central nervous system depressants like alcohol or benzodiazepines.
  • Alcohol: Combining alcohol and cannabis can intensify side effects such as drowsiness, dizziness, and impaired coordination.
  • Other Substances: If you use other substances, please discuss this with your healthcare provider, as potential interactions exist.

How Cannabis Works in Your Body

The way cannabis is consumed affects how it works.

  • Routes of Administration: Common methods include inhalation (e.g., vaping, smoking), oral ingestion (e.g., oils, capsules, edibles), and sublingual application (e.g., sprays under the tongue).
  • Onset and Duration: Inhaled cannabis generally provides rapid effects but shorter duration, while oral or sublingual methods may have a slower onset but longer-lasting effects. Your preference for fast versus sustained relief will influence the choice.
  • THC vs. CBD: Products can be THC-dominant (psychoactive, can increase appetite), CBD-dominant (non-psychoactive, may decrease appetite), or balanced (THC:CBD ratio).

  • Be Aware of Interactions: Discuss all substances and medications with your doctor.
  • Use in a Safe Environment: Especially when starting, use in a comfortable and familiar setting.
