How does medical marijuana improve my health?

Medical marijuana comes from the cannabis plant. The plant’s active ingredients, cannabinoids, produce different effects depending on which you consume. Some trigger reactions that alter your mind and cause euphoria. Others activate your body’s natural cannabinoid system, resulting in beneficial reactions that: 


Reduce inflammation
Regulate energy
Control nausea and vomiting
Support the immune system
Relieve anxiety and depression
Relieve pain


Medical marijuana is carefully produced to contain the active ingredients that support your health while limiting those that cause a psychoactive “high.”

What health conditions qualify for medical marijuana?

In Virginia, you can get medical marijuana for any medical condition if your provider determines your condition will benefit from the treatment. These are a few examples of conditions people often have when they seek medical marijuana:

Multiple sclerosis
Inflammatory bowel disease
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
