Important Update to New York State's rules governing medical marijuana therapies

​

On January 24, 2022, New York eliminated qualifying conditions for the medical marijuana program, allowing us to prescribe medical marijuana for any condition we feel can be treated by cannabis. 

 

Our philosophy continues to incorporate an integrative approach to treatment by combining cannabis with your current treatment regime.

 

For those that are wishing to decrease their use of opioid and benzodiazepine medications, a gradual dose reduction plan can be recommended and implemented in collaboration with your treating provider. We have been very successful in managing patients' symptoms with a minimal amount of prescription medication by recommending an appropriate ratio of THC and CBD in order to appropriately manage chronic conditions. 

​

Conditions helped with medical cannabis include:

• Cancer

• HIV Infection or AIDS

• ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis)

• Parkinson's Disease

• Multiple Sclerosis

• Spinal Cord Injury with Spasticity

• Epilepsy​

• Inflammatory Bowel Disease

• Neuropathy

• Huntington's Disease

• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

• Chronic Pain

• Opioid Use or Substance Abuse Disorder
