Today I want to touch on an important topic: using cannabis to treat senior patients.
Cannabis can be useful as a pain management tool in geriatric care, but having a doctor’s medical guidance is essential for seniors to protect their own well-being.
Modern medicinal cannabis is very different from the marijuana of past generations, and we must communicate these differences clearly to ensure our patients have a contemporary understanding of how to use it safely and effectively. This is powerful medicine that has evolved and advanced over the years, and we must use our scientific expertise to facilitate its proper use to achieve the desired result when treating a patient.
Seniors and anyone hoping to benefit from medicinal cannabis should be sure to get guidance from a medical professional like myself. Please feel free to contact me any time with your questions on the subject.
