Medical Marijuana Cards

Hartford, CT | Waterbury, CT

Medical research has shown medical marijuana helpful in the management of a wide range of symptoms. Symptoms and conditions where medical marijuana shows promise include neuropathic pain, Parkinson's, intractable headache, and spine injuries - to name a few. As of 2020, Connecticut's Department of Consumer Protection has approved medical marijuana for the treatment of 38 conditions for adults and ten conditions for patients under age 18. In some cases, medical marijuana has a unique pharmacological action which makes it effective in ways that are out of reach of other medications. In other cases, synthetic medications are available, but the side effects and risks of medical marijuana may be preferable. Medical marijuana has been used to reduce or replace the use of opioids, benzodiazeines, and dopamine antagonists such as haloperidol and olanzapine.


Our Process

Connecticut Physical Medicine has certification in medical marijuana. We can provide annual certification for medical marijuana cards issued by the state of Connecticut. Patients take medical marijuana as part of treatment for debilitating conditions. For medical marijuana certification, patients must be Connecticut residents and have a condition approved by state authorities.
