Ever wonder what medicinal marijuana is all about?  Listen in as we hear from Kate, the Bridgewater dispensary manager (and nursing student), who explains to me (the girl who just had to google how to spell marijuana) what cannabis is all about.  We talk about what products are sold at Theory Wellness, the various effects of the products, and the journey it takes all the way from seed to product.  We discuss a little about addiction and why medicinal marijuana is different than an opiod product.   If you have any questions in regards to if medicinal marijuana is right for you, I recommend talking directly with your primary care physician...just like many drugs marijuana is NOT for everyone and needs to be PRESCRIBED by a licensed professional/medical doctor.
