he State of Florida currently permits two types of medical cannabis (medical marijuana) treatments for qualified patients:
* Low-THC Medical Cannabis (also known as Cannabidiol or CBD)
* THC-Containing Medical Cannabis
Low-THC Medical Cannabis (CBD)
The active ingredient of low-THC medical cannabis is cannabidiol (CBD). This treatment does not produce the euphoric effects typically associated with cannabis consumption. CBD appears to be non-toxic to humans, although some mild side effects have been reported, including increased sleepiness, fatigue, diarrhea, and alterations in appetite.
THC-Containing Medical Cannabis
THC is the compound responsible for the euphoric/psychoactive effects of cannabis. The dosage required to provide relief for the patient will vary, and so will the intensity of the euphoric effect. CBD should also be an ingredient of this treatment, as it synergistically interacts with THC and can mitigate the euphoric effects of the THC. This allows for higher doses of THC to be administered while reducing the associated side effects.
