What is medical marijuana?

Under Texas law, marijuana is the cannabis plant, seeds and all derivatives but does not include hemp or consumable hemp products, so long as the delta-9 THC level does not exceed 0.3%. Mature cannabis plant stalks, fiber from those stalks, seed oil/cake and their derivatives and sterilized seeds are also not considered marijuana under Texas law. Currently, marijuana is illegal in the State of Texas for recreational consumption.

What is THC?

THC stands for tetrahydrocannabinol, which is a substance found in cannabis plants. The most prevalent THC found in cannabis is delta-9 THC. This is the substance commonly thought to produce the “high” from cannabis consumption.

What is CBD?

CBD is the acronym for cannabidiol, which also comes from the cannabis plant. This substance is understood to have therapeutic benefits without the “high” effect presumed to be caused by THC.

What is CBG?

CBG, or cannabigerol, is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant. It is considered to be the "mother of all cannabinoids" because it is the precursor cannabinoid from which other cannabinoids (like THC) are derived. When taken with THC, CBG may be beneficial for symptoms such as inflammation, appetite, anxiety and pain. CBG may also produce a more energizing, focused, balanced, and uplifting effect. 

What is CBN?

CBN, or cannabinol, is one of over a hundred cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant. CBN may produce a relaxing, sedative effect and is often used as a natural sleep aid. When taken with THC, CBN may enhance the sedative effects of medical cannabis and alleviate symptoms such as restlessness, insomnia and more. Our Sweet Dreams products contain CBN, THC and targeted rest terpenes to help relieve sleep-related issues associated with qualifying medical conditions. 

What is RSO?

CBN, or cannabinol, is one of over a hundred cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant. CBN may produce a relaxing, sedative effect and is often used as a natural sleep aid. When taken with THC, CBN may enhance the sedative effects of medical cannabis and alleviate symptoms such as restlessness, insomnia and more. Our Sweet Dreams products contain CBN, THC and targeted rest terpenes to help relieve sleep-related issues associated with qualifying medical conditions. 

What is consumable hemp?

Under Texas law, consumable hemp products are foods, drugs, devices or cosmetics that contain hemp or hemp-derived cannabinoids. Consumable hemp products that do not exceed 0.3% of delta-9 THC are legal to be bought, sold, possessed, and used in Texas. These types of products do not require a prescription.

Does Medical Marijuana have potential side effects?

While patients have reported minimal side effects, we know everyone is different. Common, mild side effects include nausea, gastrointestinal issues and sleepiness. Side effects may be more likely to occur if the medicine is taken while dehydrated, on an empty stomach or in too high of a dose. Always start low and go slow to avoid potential side effects. Please speak with your doctor about any concerns or potential interactions with your current medications.
