Patients are evaluated individually to determine whether they meet state criteria. Certification may be considered
for individuals experiencing:

Chronic, persistent, or debilitating discomfort
Muscle spasms or neurological symptoms
Stress-related sleep challenges
Appetite or digestive concerns
Emotional strain or mood fluctuations
Symptoms not adequately relieved by other therapies

Your provider makes the determination based on clinical evaluation and state guidelines.

CBD Supplements for Additional Wellness Support
