MEDICAL CANNABIS FOR HOSPICE PATIENTS

Hospice focuses on controlling a patient’s symptoms and pain levels. The palliative medical team discusses the goals of care while supporting your emotional needs. Hospice believes the end of life is not a medical experience. It is a human experience that benefits from expert medical care and holistic support. Hospice care centers on compassion and has become an evolving concept since the late 11th century.

Medical marijuana is considered an amazing pain-reliever for many hospice patients. These patients suffer from incurable and terminal diseases and cancers.

Medical marijuana has anti-inflammatory properties. It prompts CB2 receptors in the outer layer of your skin. It produces an appetite stimulant effect and can relax you. Because they suffer from severe distress and disease symptoms, hospice patients can benefit greatly from medical marijuana’s effects.
