Medical cannabis typically contains lower levels of THC compared to recreational cannabis, reducing the risk of addiction and withdrawal symptoms.
Medical cannabis that contains higher amounts of THC carries a potential risk of addiction if used daily. It is believed the risk is lower than with opioid-based pain medications and possibly lower than benzodiazepines used for anxiety and sleep.
Medical cannabis patients at Curaleaf Clinic are closely monitored. Our clinicians keep patient’s GP and specialists updated on the latest treatment plan and monitor patients closely through regular check-ups to guard against addiction and ensure the treatment remains appropriate.
