The question is how much medical marijuana can you legally have in your possession. The amount itself is generally cut and dry. You are allowed to have up to 2 ounces of usable medical marijuana per patient. If you are growing your own, then according to Rob Corry Jr., Attorney at Law, there is a non-binding guideline which allows you 6 plants, three that are in a flowering stage and 3 that are in a vegetative stage.

The problem is, that 3 flowering plants can easily produce over two ounces of the medicinal herb and this makes it difficult to say the least, to stay within the legal guidelines the state has set forth. The good news is that the law does allow for a greater amount per patient if it is required for the condition but there is no clear guidelines as to what that amount could or should be. So, in theory, it is possible to have more than 2 ounces in your possession but you should have some kind of documentation to back up your claim if you have more than the law states.

As with anything you do in life, do it in moderation and follow the law. If you don’t look for trouble, you won’t find it.

We are a Colorado Medical Marijuana Center and Caregiver company whose patients include people from all walks of life and all ages. Our patients suffer from a myriad of medical conditions. Their one common thread is that they no longer feel the pain that is normally associated with their condition(s). The reason is because we provide them with the highest quality medical marijuana in the state of Colorado.

Many people are unfamiliar with the fact that medical marijuana can be a very effective alternative to highly addictive prescribed drugs that are normally associated with certain illnesses and diseases. Some common conditions and symptoms that can be effectively treated using medical marijuana include:

• Cancer
• Nausea
• Glaucoma
• Seizures
• Diabetes
• Chron’s

There are many other conditions and illnesses that can be effectively treated. If you have any condition that includes some type of pain and/or inflammation you may be a candidate for an alternative medical marijuana treatment schedule.

Estimates show that over 30 million people suffer from arthritis each year. Many of those sufferers have severe joint pain that does not allow them to do the activities they know and love. Even though there are many treatments for arthritic conditions, the biggest problem is that many of them are harmful to your body in other ways. To date, nothing has been found that can reverse the disease and generally it only gets worse as you age, which is why most treatment options focus on pain relief and supplements that help to rebuild cartilage.

For the last 30 or 40 years there has been a lot of controversy over the use of cannabis or marijuana as it is commonly known. Much of this controversy is because of the “hippie” age and the use (or mis-use) of the medicinal plant for getting “high.” However, for hundreds of years marijuana has been used for treating illness and disease. Now that states like Colorado are passing legislation that allows the medical use of marijuana, it is not surprising that more and more people are interested in learning how the use of marijuana can help in treating their pain.

There has been plenty of research done to learn the effects of using the drug in treating joint conditions and as an alternative for other available prescription pain relievers. In 1986, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved a pill known as Marinol. The key component in Marinol is THC, a component found in marijuana. This pill was and still is used today for the treatment of nausea from chemothearpy. It has been determined that Marinol (Dronabinol, THC), acts differently than marijuana when smoked and is not as effective.

Aspirin is one of the most commonly prescribed over the counter medications for Arthritis. The problem with this is that aspirin is believe to cause more than 1,000 deaths annually in the United States. Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory drugs are also routinely used for arthritis treatment. These drugs have been the cause of more than 7,600 annual deaths and 70,000 hospitalizations. The long-term use of tylenol (acetaminophen) is considered to be one of the common causes of end-stage renal disease. What this is all boiling down to is the fact that marijuana, when smoked several times a day is often as effective (or sometimes more effective) than NSAIDs or acetaminophen in arthritis treatment, and without any reports of death.

It could be many more years before we finally know the answer to cure arthritic symptoms. However, if you are seeking a way to treat the pain and inflammation that is debilitating you today then medical marijuana may be a better option than what you are currently using.
