Doctors need to know if, when and how much their patients might benefit from cannabis use. Physicians must learn whether specific patients would benefit from cannabis use, and weigh the potential side effects of that usage against the potential benefits.

If they do decide the patient would benefit from cannabis use, they then have to consider where and how their patient would acquire it. Cannabis As Living Medicine (C.A.L.M.) boasts a skilled in-take team that, in conjunction with doctors, thoroughly assesses the medical, psychological and emotional needs of clients in order to determine the appropriate strain of cannabis to be administered, once a medical need has been established. C.A.L.M. carries out its mission to people with Cancer, AIDS/HIV, Multiple Sclerosis, Seizure Disorder, Bowel Disorders, Premenstrual Syndrome, Glaucoma, Muscular Dystrophy, Hepatitis, spinal cord injury, arthritis or chronic pain. Other disorders also apply. Further, the C.A.L.M. in-take team works with clients to identify the most effective way to administer medicinal cannabis, whether via vaporization, tincture, ingestion, or inhalation, to make certain that the crippling symptoms of clients are successfully alleviated in the most efficient manner possible.

Finally, the operating practices of C.A.L.M. mirror those of a traditional clinic including a tracking system for dispensed cannabis, careful, and systematic documentation of patient history, trained staff, and security measures to ensure the medicine is made available only to persons possessing a doctor’s prescription.

C.A.L.M. regularly works with individuals and groups from the medical, legal, enforcement, social, political, not-for-profit, and business communities, with a focus on education, awareness, and advocacy. C.A.L.M. has significant experience working with these communities, locally and nationally, presenting at conferences, providing tours, leading information sessions and more.
