The medical use of cannabis refers to the use of the plant to treat certain health complaints. Cannabis is cultivated, processed and tested under controlled conditions. In contrast to recreational use, high standards of purity, active ingredient content and microbiological safety apply to cannabis used for medical purposes. <\/p>

Typical areas of application are, for example<\/strong><\/p>

  • Chronic pain<\/li>
  • Spasticity in multiple sclerosis<\/li>
  • Loss of appetite and nausea (e.g. after chemotherapy)<\/li>
  • Sleep disorders<\/li>
  • States of anxiety<\/li>
  • Tourette syndrome and epilepsy<\/li><\/ul>

    <\/p>

    Note: Use only on medical recommendation or prescription.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    The medicinal effect is based on the interaction of numerous plant substances. The most important are <\/p>

    • Cannabinoids such as THC and CBD (cannabidiol)<\/p><\/li>

    • Terpenes, which are not only responsible for smell and taste, but also have medically relevant effects<\/p><\/li><\/ul>

      Exemplary terpenes and their effects: <\/strong><\/p>

      • Myrcene: Calming, sleep-promoting<\/li>
      • Limonene: Mood-enhancing, anxiety-relieving<\/li>
      • Pinenes: Anti-inflammatory, bronchodilator<\/li>
      • Linalool: Anxiolytic, calming<\/li><\/ul>

        <\/p>

        These substances act synergistically with THC\/CBD – this effect is called the entourage effect.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

        Terpenes are volatile and sensitive to heat. Drying too quickly or incorrectly can: <\/p>

        • massively reduce the terpene content<\/p><\/li>

        • weaken the medical effectiveness<\/p><\/li>

        • destroy the flavor profile<\/p><\/li><\/ul>

          It is therefore particularly important to dry therapeutically used cannabis under controlled conditions. This preserves the therapeutic ingredients in the best possible way. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
