Welcome to All About Health MD

Medical marijuana refers to cannabis-derived products that are used for their therapeutic effects. It can be used to manage stress, mood swings, sleep disruptions, loss of appetite, chronic pain, and nausea. Medical marijuana is regulated by state law and is prescribed based on specific health needs.

In Georgia, qualifying conditions for medical cannabis include serious or chronic illnesses such as cancer-related pain, AIDS/HIV, Alzheimer’s Disease, ALS, Autism, Chronic Pain, Crohn’s Disease, Epidermolysis Bullosa, Seizures, Hospice, Mitochondrial Disease, Sclerosis, Parkinson’s Disease, Sickle Cell Disease, Peripheral Neuropathy and Tourette’s Syndrome. Patients must have a diagnosed condition listed under Georgia’s medical cannabis law and obtain certification from a registered physician.

No, smokable cannabis and vape products are not legal in Georgia. Only low-THC oil products are permitted for medical use.

THC and CBD topicals are best for localized pain (pain in one part of the body). However, edible products are better for generalized pain (pain all over the body).

Medical marijuana products with a high CBD and low THC concentration are ideal for managing stress and anxiety. This combination can promote relaxation without strong psychoactive effects.
