There are a number of eligible conditions diagnosed from patient-reported symptoms, rather than clinical test results. These conditions afflict many people for decades before being diagnosed. Here are some reasons why you probably qualify for medical cannabis in Illinois, even if you don’t think you do.
In a recent study, it was found that cannabinoids could be used to aid patients who have found that other therapeutic measures have been insufficient in treating the symptoms of a chronic spinal cord injury.
Studies have shown that medical marijuana can help treat PTSD symptoms in even treatment-resistant cases. Cannabinoid receptors are located in various places throughout the body and brain, so both mental & physical symptoms can be altered or alleviated with medical marijuana treatment.
We want you to feel at home when you visit us. Here are a few things to make sure your visit is seamless & enjoyable!
We will need to verify your purchase if you place an online order for in-store pickup before you come to the dispensary.
We take cash and Aeropay. We have an on-site ATM with a $3 fee for your convenience. To ensure a smooth experience, please use the ATM before coming to the registers & checking out.
