Erratic Hour’s Post

Did you know that 20% of adults in the U.S. suffer from chronic pain? I’m part of that statistic, having dealt with chronic back pain since dislocating a disk at 17. So every 2 hours, I take a 10-minute break for yoga to manage my pain while I work. For the 20% of my network who are in the same boat, I wanted to share this video. It’s been a game-changer for me, and I hope it can improve your life as well. #ChronicPain #Wellness #YogaForPain #HealthTips

Attention medical cannabis patients and healthcare providers! It's important to remember that when it comes to pain management, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. While some patients may require opiates during their hospital stay, others may benefit from continuing medical cannabis. Ultimately, the decision should be made on a case-by-case basis between the patient and their healthcare provider, rather than being dictated by an overarching policy. Let's celebrate this win for patient autonomy and clinician choice! #MedicalCannabis #PatientAutonomy #HealthcareProviders #PainManagement

We are proud to be featured in The Times’ latest article highlighting the surge in medical cannabis use in the UK. As access to this vital treatment remains limited through the NHS, we’re dedicated to helping patients find safe treatment that offers lasting relief.    As our CEO and founder, Jon Robson highlights, “The NHS only offers limited access to medical cannabis,” making it crucial for patients to explore holistic and natural treatment options. With over 5,400 patients treated since our launch, we’ve witnessed a tenfold increase in patient numbers—proof that many are seeking alternatives for chronic pain and other debilitating conditions.    The voices of patients like Julie Gould, who have found life-changing relief through medical cannabis, drive our mission. As we continue to advocate for change, patient stories inspire us to advocate for broader access and acceptance within the healthcare industry in the UK.    Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/e3YbQaDd   #MedicalCannabis #PatientCare #HealthcareAccess #SymptomManagement #Press #CannabisIndustry

New Hampshire just made a bold move in healthcare—expanding medical cannabis access like never before. New Hampshire's recent expansion of medical cannabis access is a significant step forward for patient care. By broadening eligibility and easing restrictions, the state is recognizing the crucial role that cannabis can play in improving quality of life. This change is not just about access; it's about acknowledging the diverse needs of patients and empowering them with more options for managing their health. #newhampshire #medicalcannabis #cannabislaw https://lnkd.in/e2YErMTW
