Get Your Marijuana! An Open Call for People Living in Naples

-        Three questions for people who want to get marijuana in Naples.

10 years ago, the title of this article might have attracted the attention of the federal government, scorn of politicians, and wrath of locals boycotting whatever sick magazine was allowing this type of ad to print. However, now that medical cannabis is allowed in Florida, if you want to get marijuana in Naples, you can!

Before you can have that beautiful, green medicine in your hand, you’ll need to jump through a few hoops. Thankfully, if you qualify, it’s basically an open call for cannabis in Florida. Here’s how to know if you qualify to get marijuana in Naples, Florida.

Get Marijuana in Naples

Do You Qualify?

Qualifying for medical marijuana in Florida means being diagnosed a certain disease. Thankfully, the state allows for a large number of ailments to be listed under their ‘qualifying conditions.’ Here are two of the qualifying conditions and what cannabis may be able to provide to the people who suffer from them.

Epilepsy

Some people might be living in Naples simply so they can get marijuana for their epilepsy. According to 2018 research that appeared in Cures, CBD may either help epilepsy by itself or it may also be a potentiator for other medicines.

Most notably, the researchers noted that their analysis found studies that have included over 100 participants and “showed that CBD use resulted in a significant reduction in seizure frequency.” As with most studies on CBD, the researchers also mentioned how CBD is particularly safe, especially when compared with conventional treatment methods.

Opioid Use Disorder

The National Institute on Drug Abuse put the 2017 death toll as a result of overdose in America at over 70,000 people. Sadly, that number seems to be climbing year-after-year. According to research in Cannabis and Cannabinoids Research, medical marijuana may be a substantial way to help with OUD.

The research suggested that cannabis acts as a first line analgesic and may also work better in assisting with opioid abstinence than conventional methods. Most impressively, they noted how cannabis seems to ameliorate opioid withdrawal symptoms. However, the researchers did mention that the mechanistic functions are still unclear. Furthermore, they noted further complications due to the subjectivity in the function of cannabis. That being said, the researchers concluded that cannabis should be a part of a doctor's education for opioid withdrawal. Specifically, they said, “evidence-based opioid prescription and cannabis recommendation practices are a critical component of continuing education, so that clinicians can continue to uphold their Hippocratic oaths to “do no harm.”

So, the first step to getting marijuana in Naples is getting to the doctor first.

Can You Get to A Doctor in Naples?

If you are able to move around, including to a doctor’s office, then you can get marijuana in Naples. It’s a simple process. You just need to contact the doctor, attend your appointment, then apply for your card. The hardest part might be containing your excitement for your new medicine as you wait up to five days to get access to the medical cannabis industry in Florida.

The state can take that long to send back a Temporary ID and up to three weeks to provide you with your physical medical marijuana card.

If you’re ready to get marijuana in Naples, then call the office of Dr. Athina Kyritsis in Naples. Establishing care with her will set you in motion. You’ll be required to provide your medical records and attend your in-person consultation with Dr. Kyritsis.

If she thinks you could benefit from medical cannabis, she will write you a prescription and get your information into Florida’s system through our proprietary (HIPAA Compliant) software.

Then you’ll be ready to take the last steps towards your procuring your medicine.
