Medical cannabis

Medical cannabis is a type of plant that people can use to help make their bodies feel better. The plant has some chemicals in it that can help with things like pain, anxiety, and sleep problems. The chemicals in the plant are called cannabinoids.

When doctors give people medical cannabis, they use parts of the plant like the leaves or flowers that have the cannabinoids. Then they turn the parts of the plant into things like oils, pills, or a smokable form which people can take to help them feel better.

Some people who use medical cannabis do it under the watchful eye of a doctor, who determines if it's something that is needed for their health condition. Medical cannabis can help people who have illnesses such as cancer or seizure disorders.

It's important to note that while medical cannabis can be very helpful for some people, it is still considered a medicine and can have side effects like other medications. People should only take medical cannabis after talking with a doctor and making sure that it's safe for them to use.
