Medical Cannabis Certification

Twin Cities Pain Clinic can certify patients through the state of Minnesota to obtain medical cannabis for the treatment of chronic pain.

What is Medical Cannabis?

The cannabis plant, also commonly referred to as hemp or marijuana, contains chemicals that may be used for medicinal purposes.

When ingested, the chemicals in cannabis, specifically delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD), have shown to be effective at treating a variety of medical conditions, including chronic, intractable pain.

How Does Medical Cannabis Work?

Research suggests that the active chemicals in the cannabis plant, collectively referred to as cannabinoids, can relieve chronic pain by reducing inflammation and relaxing tight muscles.

There are a variety of ways to take medical cannabis, including:

  • Using a device called a vaporizer to inhale the cannabis as a mist
  • Eating it, usually in the form of a small snack or treat
  • Applying it topically to your skin with a lotion, spray, or oil
  • Placing a few drops of liquid cannabis beneath your tongue

You must be certified through the state before you can obtain medical cannabis. This certification requires an approval from a licensed healthcare practitioner who has identified you as a qualified candidate for the treatment.

DISCLAIMER

  • Twin Cities Pain Clinic only certifies medical cannabis for the treatment of intractable pain. If you are presenting with a different concern, such as PTSD or other mental/emotional conditions, please seek an alternate licensed provider.
  • Twin Cities Pain Clinic is not a medical cannabis dispensary and does not keep any cannabis or cannabis products on site.

In some cases, medical cannabis may by itself be an adequate solution for chronic pain relief. In other instances, it may be prescribed to help temporarily manage pain symptoms while a more appropriate course of treatment is considered.

After an initial consultation, your provider will determine whether or not you are a good candidate for medical cannabis, and if so, how it fits into your treatment plan. If you are approved, Twin Cities Pain Clinic will send record of your certification to the state. You will then receive an email from the Office of Medical Cannabis, with a link to register and instructions.

Once you are registered, it may take up to 30 days for approval, at which time you will receive a final confirmation email. Once you receive this email, you will officially be certified and may visit a medical cannabis dispensary.

Contrary to common belief, the state of Minnesota does not actually provide you with a physical medical cannabis card. Your certification is recorded in a database that can be accessed by the pharmacist at your chosen dispensary.
