What you’ll learn

Everything a future patient should know — nothing they shouldn’t.

We focus on what the evidence actually supports, what the risks actually are, and what a thoughtful evaluation looks like.

Medical Cannabis Basics

What CBD and THC actually are, how they differ, and why ratios matter.

Benefits & Risks

Where the evidence is strongest, common side effects, and key drug interactions.

Who Should Avoid It

Pregnancy, young adults, psychiatric history, cardiovascular disease — and why.

Preparing Your Records

What to bring to a future evaluation so your physician has a complete picture.

Responsible Use

Start low, go slow. Storage, driving, and travel guidance.

South Carolina Law
