Medical cannabis, also known as strains of weed, is a drug and, like all medicines, can have side effects. The most common side effects are dizziness, fatigue, dry mouth, lightheadedness, drowsiness, and nausea. These side effects are usually mild or moderate and usually go away quickly, but sometimes serious side effects occur. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved the use of cannabis as a treatment for any medical condition. So what does this mean? Can you go to a pharmacy and order cannabis? Should I ask your doctor for a prescription? And is cannabis the wonder drug that many people claim it is?Mayo Clinic healthcare providers can certify state residents who are eligible for the Minnesota medical cannabis program.
When used for medical purposes, cannabis is generally taken orally rather than inhaled through a marijuana joint or pipe. If you experience any side effects from taking medical cannabis, talk to a pharmacist at a medical cannabis dispensary. They can help you manage any side effects and ensure that you are taking the right dosage.
