Medical Cannabis Dispensing
Medical cannabis refers to the use of the Cannabis sativa plant or its extracts for therapeutic purposes. It contains various cannabinoids, including THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), which produces psychoactive effects, and CBD (cannabidiol), which has various potential health benefits without intoxication or being addictive.
