Medical Cannabis
Marijuana was legalized in Virginia in April 2021 for individuals over 21 years of age. With the legalization of marijuana, physicians will see a rise in patients asking about using cannabis as an alternate treatment for medical conditions such as pain, epilepsy, cancer, inflammation and many others. It is important for physicians to understand what marijuana is, the laws within their state, uses and side effects of cannabis so that they can make an informed decision regarding their prescribing of cannabis.
