Understanding the Differences Between Medical and Recreational Cannabis

Medical and recreational cannabis may seem similar, but their purposes and applications are vastly different. Dr. Tishler explains the distinctions, helping patients understand how medical cannabis is carefully controlled to maximize therapeutic benefits while minimizing side effects.

Key Differences Between Medical and Recreational Cannabis

Therapeutic vs. Recreational Intent
