Cannabis is often effective for the following conditions when used responsibly as part of a holistic personalized treatment plan, which may include eating a healthy natural diet, daily exercise, spending time in nature,
meditation or prayer, and use of other herbs, medications and/or other treatments:

Please note: Cannabis is best used in the smallest dose that is effective. Cannabis may be habit-forming and tolerance may develop (meaning a higher dosage is needed to achieve the same effect); use the smallest amount that is effective to reduce risk of developing tolerance or experiencing withdrawal effects after stopping. Do not drive or operate heavy machinery when using cannabis.
Side effects may include dry mouth, increased appetite, anxiety, hallucinations and dizziness.
