About Leafwell

Leafwell is a telehealth platform focusing on getting people their medical marijuana cards and physician’s medical cannabis certificates / recommendations as simply and easily as possible. There are also many people living in remote and underserved communities who need the ability to see a physician, and online consultations are a great way to provide this!

State laws regarding medical marijuana can vary widely, and even specific cities, counties and jurisdictions are allowed to disallow cannabis retailers should they choose to do so. Cannabis is also federally illegal, meaning there is a lot of mismatch in regulatory requirements from state-to-state.

Leafwell wants to help make navigating this landscape easier. Whether it’s getting a physician’s letter & medical marijuana card, understanding the science behind cannabis, getting to grips with the laws in various states, or gaining some insight into cannabis culture & economics, we here at Leafwell want to help where we can.

What Makes Cannabis Medicine?

Cannabis is one of the most versatile medicines available. It could quite literally be called a “pharmacy in a plant”. The cannabis plant contains up to 150 cannabinoids, over 200 terpenes and 20 discovered flavonoids so far, many of which can be used together (the entourage effect) to help treat a huge number of conditions & symptoms, including chronic pain, cancer, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis and many others. These cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids work together to work on not only the endocannabinoid system (ECS), but other receptor systems like serotonin, dopamine, opioid and norepinephrine receptors as well. Moreover, cannabis does all of this without

Cannabinoids & terpenes have the potential to be a very safe and effective medication and could help reduce the need for many far more harmful and/or addictive prescription medications, including opioids, benzodiazepines and NSAIDs. The ECS is also fundamentally involved in homeostasis and inflammatory processes. Learning how the ECS is involved in the etiology of diseases, illnesses and injuries could help us treat a wide number of health problems, and restore the body to a balanced state.

The problem? Cannabis’ Schedule I federal status prevents it and its cannabinoids from being studied easily. It is reasonable to believe that different sets of cannabinoids work best for different conditions and different physiologies. Leafwell is dedicated to finding out which sets of cannabinoids & terpenes are effective for different people and their health issues. We feel that the best way to do this is by looking at what research already exists out there, and even committing to research ourselves. By coming to us, you are meeting a team of people who genuinely believe in the medical power of cannabis, and who will advise you on the best course of action regarding your medicine.
