Marijuana-Syndromes:
How to Balance and Optimize the Effects of Cannabis


This website is for physicians and other healthcare professionals that work with people who take marijuana. It’s perfect for acupuncturists, herbalists, physicians, psychotherapists, body workers and caregivers who are familiar with the concepts of Traditional Chinese Medicine, but you don’t need to know about any of that to benefit from what you’ll read here.

Many marijuana users never consider that their marijuana use is a problem. Many continue to use cannabis for decades and some for their entire lives, but if a person consistently abuses her/himself with it, cannabis use can and often does become a problem. 

Are there ways that healthcare workers can work with this population with techniques that are positive, constructive and can truly help while including a patient's relationship with marijuana as a key factor in treatment? Are there ways to balance and optimize the journey that these patients take with cannabis that can help to reduce the side effects of the drug and maybe even enhance its benefits?

The answer is yes.

This website will help you to understand the nature and extent of the specific issues you may encounter when working with people who take marijuana, and especially those people who consistently abuse cannabis to the point that it is harmful to themselves and possibly others. It will give you information that can help you to guide your treatments and the course of healing your patients will take in the most positive directions that they can go.
