FRA guided treatment, a human assessment.
Medical cannabis is prescribed by a licensed practitioner to help manage certain symptoms when usual treatments fall short. Here's how it works at Coverleaf.
What is medical cannabis?
Medical cannabis refers to the use of the cannabis plant — or its compounds such as THC and CBD — under the supervision of a healthcare professional, as part of a treatment plan. Unlike recreational cannabis, it is based on a clinical evaluation, an adapted dosage and ongoing follow-up.
For which conditions?
Every case is unique and assessed individually. Patients most often consult us for:
Chronic pain
Persistent pain from injury, arthritis or a long-term condition that hasn't responded to usual care.
Anxiety & stress
Everyday anxiety and stress that affects your quality of life and daily functioning.
Sleep & insomnia
Trouble falling or staying asleep when other approaches haven't helped.
Inflammation
Inflammatory conditions where you're looking for an alternative to long-term medication.
Reducing opioids
Patients seeking to reduce reliance on opioids and medications with strong side effects.
Nausea & appetite
Symptom relief supporting appetite and comfort, assessed case by case.
This list is provided for information only and does not constitute medical advice. Only a practitioner can determine whether medical cannabis is right for you.
