What is

“Cannabis-Based Therapy”?

Horizontal Line used under headings.  Light blue

Medical-grade cannabis-based therapy is nothing like what is commonly referred to as “street marijuana.” When cannabis oil is extracted from the marijuana plant it can be processed in specific cannabinoid ratios and doses to address many ailments common to older adults. Side effects, like dry mouth and drowsiness, are well-tolerated and not life-threatening.

Under the guidance of a licensed medical marijuana physician, cannabinoids have yielded positive results in the treatment of chronic pain, neuroplasticity, emotion and mood disorders, insomnia, poor appetite and nausea, as well as chemotherapy-related discomforts. MorseLife has had positive and commendatory results managing clients who suffer from all types of dementia.

In September 2019, MorseLife commissioned an online survey of 2,008 adults in the United States, conducted on our behalf by The Harris Poll.

Regardless of any individual’s personal opposition, the reality is that patients and their families in Florida have fought for years to simplify access to medical marijuana.
