Better effects start with clearly defining your desired result every time you use cannabis. You wouldn’t use a screwdriver to hammer a nail. Why would you use the same cannabis product and dose every session?
Invigorating strains that relax the body and let the mind wander without losing focus.
See how real executives are using cannabis to optimize their days. Not to get high, but to get s*** done.
Ready to join the movement and start optimizing your day?
Know why you’re using cannabis and when you need relief, then set rules for when to consume (eg never at work).
Inhalables and sublinguals offer faster results, while effects from edibles and patches may longer duration.
For many consumers, low THC or microdosing throughout the day can be more effective than a high THC dose.
Your treatment needs (and any medications you’re already taking) can influence what product and dosage is right for you. What helps you sleep at night may not be the same thing that helps manage pain or anxiety symptoms during the day.
Talking to a qualified medical marijuana doctor is the surest way to get your desired effects every time you consume.

“I learned that cannabis with balanced THC and CBD ratios often provided much stronger relief for neuropathic pain… The change has been life-changing. I now use a low-to-moderate dose 1:1 hybrid edible in the morning, another around midday when the pain starts to build, and a gentler one in the early evening while I prep dinner or wind down. The burning and shooting pain has decreased dramatically—I can finally walk more comfortably, stand longer without agony, and actually sleep through the night most nights. My mood is so much steadier because I’m not constantly fighting the pain. I’ve got real energy back, I’ve started taking short walks again, and I’m more present with family and friends instead of being short-tempered or distracted by discomfort.”

“Unfortunately, my symptoms have worsened with age. However, with the use of cannabis and THC transdermal patches, I’m able to get twelve consecutive hours of relief.”
-Erik
“Being able to micro-dose cannabis throughout the day makes it bearable to live without pain or ocular migraines daily. I can actually live and enjoy my life without breaking the law. It’s a great feeling.”
-Hannah
“My smoking mostly occurs at the end of the day, in the form of stress relief and relaxation. My job can be high-performing and can be an stress-builder, if I allow it. Smoking allows me to hit that pressure relief valve at the end of the day, sort of reset and let the scales rebalance themselves. ”

At NuggMD, our mission is to free people from their ailments with a personalized path to cannabis relief. We’re proud to be the leading medical card provider, and are continuing to pioneer new, patient-focused paths to relief.
Start by asking yourself three questions:
Knowing your goals will help you find the right product and dosage. And if you have any questions, consider speaking to a medical cannabis doctor or pharmacist.
Recent studies and patient reports suggest that medical cannabis under a doctor’s care has the potential to support or replace some traditional prescription medications.
However, further study is needed. Everyone reacts to cannabis differently, and any change in treatment regimen or medication dosage should be discussed with a doctor first.
If you’re considering cannabis as a supplement or replacement for other medications, the first step is to speak with a qualified practitioner for a medical evaluation.
Many consumers choose not to get a med card if recreational cannabis is available near them. But a medical card can take the guesswork out of cannabis dosing, as well as offering a range of benefits not available to adult-use consumers.
First, and most importantly, a medical card gives you access to a qualified practitioner to ask any questions you may have about products, dosage, medication interactions. Medical dispensaries are also more likely to have a pharmacist on staff who can help answer any product or dosage questions you may have.
Additionally, medical dispensaries tend to carry a wider selection of products, including minor cannabinoids, 1:1 CBD/THC, low THC, and microdose options.
And many medical dispensaries have cannabis pharmacists on staff, giving patients access to on-the-spot guidance to help you find the right products and dosage for your particular wellness goals.
Finally, many states offer unique benefits for medical card holders, including tax savings, wider product selection, home delivery, and the ability to grow your own cannabis at home.
Medical cannabis is held to stricter standards than hemp THC. Products are tested for purity and potency, giving med card holders higher quality, safer products for more consistent effects.
Each state has its own patient-approval process. In some states, you can begin purchasing cannabis the same day you complete your doctor evaluation. If you’re required to register with your state, we’ll provide clear guidance to help you complete all necessary steps after receiving your doctor certification.
