The Illinois Medical Cannabis Program requires physicians to be the gatekeepers who control access to medical cannabis. A physician must be a doctor of medicine or osteopathy licensed under the Medical Practice Act to practice medicine and must have a current controlled substances license under Article II of the Illinois Controlled Substances Act. No other licensed professionals (including dentists) are allowed to certify a qualifying patient for medical cannabis use.

Uses of medical Verilife:
The most common use of medical Verilife in the United States is for pain control. While marijuana isn’t strong enough for severe pain (for example, post-surgical pain or a broken bone), it is quite effective for the chronic pain that plagues millions of Americans, especially as they age. Part of its allure is that it is clearly safer than opiates (it is impossible to overdose on and far less addictive) and it can take the place of NSAIDs such as Advil or Aleve if people can’t take them due to problems with their kidneys or ulcers or GERD.

In particular, marijuana appears to ease the pain of multiple sclerosis, and nerve pain in general. This is an area where few other options exist, and those that do, such as Neurontin, Lyrica, or opiates are highly sedating. Patients claim that marijuana allows them to resume their previous activities without feeling completely out of it and disengaged.

Along these lines, marijuana is said to be a fantastic muscle relaxant, and people swear by its ability to lessen tremors in Parkinson’s disease. I have also heard of its use quite successfully for fibromyalgia, endometriosis, interstitial cystitis, and most other conditions where the final common pathway is chronic pain.
