Medical Cannabis Prescription & Management Q&A

What is medical cannabis management?

Medical cannabis prescription and management is a specialized service designed to help patients safely and effectively use cannabis-based treatments to address qualifying health conditions. Rather than simply providing a prescription, the team takes a personalized, evidence-based approach to ensure you receive the right products, doses, and follow-up care.

Medical cannabis may be recommended for:

  • Chronic pain and inflammation
  • Anxiety or stress-related conditions
  • Sleep disorders and insomnia
  • Neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis or epilepsy
  • Nausea and appetite loss associated with cancer treatments
  • Certain mental health conditions, when appropriate

By integrating cannabis into a broader care plan, the team focuses on improving your overall well-being rather than just treating isolated symptoms.

Who can benefit from medical cannabis?

Medical cannabis may benefit individuals whose symptoms haven’t responded well to traditional treatments or who experience unwanted side effects from other medications. The team follows Pennsylvania’s state guidelines to determine eligibility and ensure safe, legal access to cannabis therapies.

If you’re living with chronic pain, anxiety, insomnia, or other ongoing conditions, you may be a good candidate. The practice also educates patients on responsible use, potential interactions with other medications, and expected outcomes so you can make fully informed decisions.

What can I expect during a medical cannabis appointment?

Appointments are designed to be collaborative and patient-centered. Your provider will:

  • Review your medical history and symptoms to determine eligibility
  • Explain how medical cannabis works and discuss product options (e.g., tinctures, capsules, topicals, or vaporizable forms)
  • Create a personalized prescription plan tailored to your condition and treatment goals
  • Provide education on dosage, administration, and safety
  • Schedule regular follow-ups to monitor effectiveness and make adjustments as needed

The goal is to help you find relief and achieve better quality of life with the right balance of care and support.

Medical cannabis isn’t right for everyone, but for those who qualify, it can be a valuable tool in managing chronic symptoms and improving overall wellness. To learn more or schedule a consultation, call Internal Medicine PGH today or book an appointment online.
