Medicinal Cannabis Course Symposium

Dr Gulbransen was in good company with consumers, clinicians and scientists at the United in Compassion (UiC) 4 day Medicinal Cannabis Course Symposiums in June 2017 and March 2019. UiC's mission statement includes "Help us put the focus back on patients" and "when action meets compassion, lives can change".

History of Medical Cannabis, CBD & THC

At Cannabis Care we prescribe medicinal cannabis (THC and CBD) products that have been verified by the Ministry of Health as meeting Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards.

Sativex spray with balanced CBD and THC has been available since 2010. CBD oil has been available on prescription since 2017. Balanced CBD and THC oil as well as pure THC oil have been available since 2021.

From 2022 The Cannabis Care clinic is able to prescribe CBD herbal tea, noting that some patients will choose to vape this herb. The Ministry of Health has also verified dry flower containing 13.5% THC and 25% THC.

These dry flower products provide rapid relief for emotional distress like anxiety and/or depression, chronic pain and sleeping difficulties.

Dried flower CBD and THC may be more effective than CBD and THC oils because they contain the cannabis plant terpenes (essential oils). Terpenes are thought to be synergistic, improving the benefits of CBD and THC, known as the entourage effect.
