medical MARIJUANA Is

just more…FAKENEWS?

Bynow, you’ve likely heard the almost miracle-like anecdotes from “patients” on the news about medical marijuana as it becomes more mainstream. When I hear these stories, I have to wonder: are they legitimate? I had to know the TRUTH, so I arranged to sit down with Dr. Anne Lynn Morgan, the Chief Medical Of cer at MMJ Health, Florida’s top-rated medical marijuana doctor’s of ce.

Many people don’t know that medical marijuana is legal in Florida, let alone readily available at over 250 in-state dispensaries (imagine a pharmacy speci cally for medical marijuana). For years, pop culture has depicted marijuana primarily as a recreational drug, but there’s more to the plant than what’s shown on the silver screen. Since its legalization, medical marijuana’s profound effects have changed the lives of countless Floridians. Dr. Morgan, as Florida’s top rated Medical Marijuana Specialist, is responsible for much of this positive impact. Indeed, she and the staff at MMJ Health were honored to be named by The Palm Beach Post as the “Best Medical Marijuana Card Provider” for their level of service and ef cacy in 2020!

Additionally, Dr. Morgan is an expert in the eld of medical marijuana, and is among one of the most respected clinicians in the industry. She sits on the board of directors for the American Academy of Cannabis Medicine, is a member of the International Cannabinoid Research Society, and is considered to be one of the industry’s highest-rated cannabis clinicians (no pun intended). Dr. Morgan has been in practice for 33 years and was the former Medical Director for United Health, Metropolitan Health, and Humana.

Dr. Morgan has been practicing marijuana medicine speci cally for the last 9 years, with licenses in Florida, Washington, and Pennsylvania. After years of education, research, and hands-on experience, Dr. Morgan attests to the relief medical marijuana brings to people, saying, “We have found that we have over a 90% success rate with medical cannabis.”

Dr. Morgan explains that medical marijuana patients at MMJ Health, rather than experiencing psychoactive effects or feeling high, nd relief from various medical conditions, including anxiety, depression, insomnia, arthritis, cancer, IBS, epilepsy, PTSD, autoimmune disorders, migraines, Parkinson’s, ADHD, Fibromyalgia, dementia, Alzheimer’s, and more. Medical marijuana is not for getting high, it’s for feeling better! How does it work? It’s simple –THC and CBD.

THC and CBD are two chemical compounds that come from the marijuana plant and affect the endocannabinoid system, the human body’s natural system for processing cannabis. “The endocannabinoid system’s reason for existing is to keep our bodies in homeostasis, i.e. healthy and balanced. Cannabis can positively affect so many systems in the body that are not being managed properly by pharmaceuticals,” says Dr. Morgan. Many of MMJ’s patients, since using medical cannabis, have been able to drastically reduce their prescription medication regimen, or have stopped taking prescriptions altogether!

Marijuana is still classi ed as a Schedule 1 substance federally, but Dr. Morgan explains, “It’s not what you think… Medical marijuana is not a narcotic. In fact, after using medical marijuana, many of our patients have reduced taking narcotics and/or opiates without even being asked!”

Medical marijuana is not like anything sold on the street... it’s completely safe! When you get your marijuana from a dispensary, you don’t have to worry about whether it was adulterated. Dr. Morgan clari es, “Florida has very stringent rules about how medical marijuana is grown and prepared, so you know it’s clean, pesticide-free, and has no bacteria or viruses.”

Medical marijuana has become a go-to for doctors across the nation to give their patients relief from a myriad of conditions without having to worry about the severe side effects associated with many pharmaceuticals. For the patients at MMJ Health, medical marijuana is 100% making a difference in their everyday lives. The stories are real. Dr. Morgan says that it is not uncommon for patients to cry, hug, and thank her because they are feeling better than ever since using medical cannabis. Dr. Morgan has seen the results, and she urges anyone and everyone to consider trying medical marijuana.

MMJ Health is at the forefront of technology, so nding out if you qualify for a medical marijuana card is super simple! The MMJ Patient Quali cation System, accessible at www.mmjhealth.com, allows you to nd out in minutes whether you qualify. If you do, then the MMJ Health of ce will contact you. MMJ Health has all of the resources necessary to get your health back on track!

So the real question now is: why wait? MMJ Health is the only all-inclusive medical marijuana of ce in Florida, so you can get quali ed for your medical marijuana card in one visit. The friendly and knowledgeable staff will ll out the tricky government application for you, take your ID photo in their of ce, and submit all of your paperwork to the Florida Health Department. The only thing you have to do once you leave their of ce is wait for your card!

“You shouldn’t have to suffer… medical cannabis can help you! We are real doctors who provide real results,” says Dr. Morgan. The expert staff at MMJ Health encourages you to “Please come and see the MMJ Health difference. We care, we make a difference as a team, and we know our cannabis medicine. Isn’t it time to live your life the way you want, symptom and side-effect free?”

Anne L. Morgan, M.D.

In this upside down time in our lives, there has been an in ux, it seems to me, of individuals wanting to revisit simpler times, with less responsibility and more fun. If only that meant including a weekly movie, or making a special dinner to spice things up at home, that would be less dangerous than the trend that has crossed my ears more than a few times in the past year, namely, people connecting with old ames, needing the comfort of someone who isn’t their husband, someone who knew them when they were young and carefree, and it’s pretty easy to nd that once-special person because of social media. It is also a fantasy, which, with twenty-twenty hindsight, is treading on dangerous ground.

It begins innocently, of course, as all risky things start, with a causal “hi, how are you doing?”, and if the person on the other end is responsive, it morphs into all the “remember whens”, which no one in your current life can compete with. Your husband didn’t know you when you were a teenager, or a college student, he wasn’t in your high school classes and he didn’t take you

by Dr. Melfi, Ph.D.

to the senior prom. ose are conversations that your spouse can’t begin to participate in, and before anyone knows it, the casual conversations become irtatious, if not subtle, and invitations to an emotional a air. Suddenly your world seems brighter, lighter, happier, hanging on every word, and texts become covert phone calls with dreams of what could have been. Trust me when I say this, in most cases, the person who is going to be hurt the most, is you. Sure your old ame knows all the right things to say, gives you undivided attention, and makes you laugh, but I doubt that Casanova is as tantalizing to his own wife who is probably at home doing the dishes and his laundry.

e story is as old as the hills. Everyone wants something new, something bright and shiny, romantic words and endless promises of undying love, and people who are in a marital rut risk it all, over and over again. Let’s play this fantasy out… the wife suddenly can’t stand anything about her boring, lazy husband, and les for divorce. She dreams of the day she and her old boyfriend can be

together, but guess what? Nine times out of ten, he has a million reasons that he can’t move forward with his divorce. He can’t hurt his family, he doesn’t want to split the assets, and on and on, until the fairy tale becomes a nightmare.

So, For What It’s Worth, keep your dreams locked in a box where they can’t get lost or trampled on, and reignite the spark in your marriage. A er all, you must have been enamored with your spouse when you walked down the aisle, and perhaps, the hum-drum evenings have as much to do with you trying less, as it does with him ignoring you. Marriages go through ups and downs, and women think of jumping ship when the romance gives way to everyday drudgery, but even a boring marriage can be spiced up. A fantasy boyfriend rarely materializes.

PAUL F.

John and his crew installed a beautiful new J B Roo ng did a spectacular job on my house. They installed a new 1 inch standing seam roof that actually compliments the colors of the house. The actual install only took two days but there was a lot of prep work ahead of that. The crew was polite, knew what they were doing, and made sure the area around the house was cleaned every day. I would not hesitate in recommending them to anyone!
