How do I know what cannabis product is best for me?

A discussion with a knowledgeable healthcare provider and a cannabis retail educator can give you insights on what cannabis options may work for you. However, everyone is different and you may need to trial and error products until you find one that is optimal for you.

Is Cannabis good for you?

Cannabis has therapeutic benefits that may be beneficial for you. More research is coming out supporting its use to treat conditions such as depression, anxiety, pain, migraines etc. However, in some people cannabis may have negative effects, it's important to talk to a knowledgeable healthcare professional to see if cannabis is right for you!

Will I get high if I use cannabis?

It depends on what cannabis product and how much you use. Cannabis products typically contain two main cannabinoids THC and CBD. The THC can cause intoxication at higher doses. Everyone has a different tolerance to THC but as long as you don’t take too much THC based of your own tolerance, then you won’t experience the “high”.

There are plenty of strategies to reduce the risk of intoxication. You can use a product that doesn’t have THC or very low amounts of THC. Talk to an Insalata Cannabis Educator for your cannabis needs.

I don’t want to smoke cannabis, are there other options for me?

Yes! There are plenty of cannabis products that don’t require you to smoke them. There are capsules, gummies, chocolates, teas, and oils that all can be ingested orally. Or you can apply cannabis creams on the skin. You do not need to smoke cannabis to experience its benefits. Speak to an Insalata Cannabis Educator today about your cannabis needs!

Can I do a phone consultation with one of the Apothecare pharmacy network locations?

Unfortunately over the phone consultations are not available, however you can call to schedule an appointment if needed. It’s important to go in person to the pharmacy to ensure the pharmacist can designate the appropriate time for the consultation and they can adequately review your medication history. You may wish to bring a list of your current medications so the pharmacist can assess for any significant interactions.
