GET YOUR CARD

On April 17, 2016 the Pennsylvania General assembly passed the Medical Marijuana Act (Act). This legalized the sale, possession and use of medical cannabis. To obtain a medical marijuana card and obtain medical cannabis from dispensaries the client must be a Pennsylvania resident. A PDH-approved doctor must verify their patient’s medical condition in order to acquire certification.

The Regen Doctors team commits itself to assist patients in Philadelphia, Bucks County or Lehigh Valley , Pennsylvania in obtaining medical marijuana cards.

Using medical marijuana

Medical marijuana uses the marijuana plant or chemicals in it to treat diseases or conditions. It's basically the same product as recreational marijuana, but it's taken for medical purposes. Medical marijuana can be smoked, mixed into foods, added with a tincture, or brewed as a tea. Patients may begin to feel relief in as few as 20 minutes, depending on method. The effects are short-term, generally wearing off in an hour or two.

The Food and Drug Administration has not approved the use of cannabis as a treatment for any medical condition yet. However, the FDA has approved the cannabinoids cannabidiol (Epidiolex) and dronabinol (Marinol, Syndros). Cannabidiol (CBD) can be used for certain forms of severe epilepsy, Dravet syndrome and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. Meanwhile, dronabinol can be used for nausea and vomiting caused by cancer chemotherapy and for anorexia associated with weight loss in people with AIDS.
