1. MMJ Card Iowa New Rules to Qualify for Iowa Medical Marijuana Card

2. For a person to get a Iowa Medical Marijuana Card, a doctor must certify that they have a chronic or debilitating disease, medical condition, or treatment that causes cachexia or wasting syndrome, severe, debilitating pain, severe nausea, seizures, or severe and long-lasting muscle spasms, such as those caused by degenerative disorders.

3. Since medical marijuana is now legal in the state of Iowa, it can be used to treat people with chronic or untreatable pain. • Chronic pain is pain that lasts for a long time and is either very painful or hard to get rid of. This means that anyone with chronic pain, like headaches, migraines, irritable bowel syndrome, any kind of arthritis or inflammation, or any other condition that causes a lot of pain can get medical marijuana in Iowa. This is, of course, only true if the patient has proof that they have been treated for chronic pain in the past. • Medical marijuana could be a good way to deal with long-term pain. Researchers have found that THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is a good painkiller for cancer patients. They also found that it didn't have any of the harmful side effects that many traditional medicines do. Patients have said that different kinds of pain have gone away. Mainly, people who have pain related to the system have seen big improvements. Opiate addiction is destroying lives and destroying communities all over the country. As a result, cannabis has become a trusted alternative for people who have pain every day.3 • 1. Chronic Pain

4. It is well known that chemotherapy and radiation treatments often cause people to feel sick and throw up. Several medical cannabis products have been shown to reduce nausea and other side effects of these treatments by a large amount. • 2. Nausea

5. Loss of appetite is often a side effect of chemotherapy and radiation treatment, just like feeling sick. Without a reason, it can be hard for people with cancer to eat enough calories. This will cause you to lose muscle mass, feel tired all the time, and become less mobile. But certain cannabinoids have been shown to help people who are getting treatment regain their appetite. • 3. Appetite Loss

6. Neuropathy is usually caused by nerve damage, which can happen as a side effect of chemotherapy and other types of cancer treatments. Neuropathy is often hard to describe because the symptoms are so different from person to person. Patients often feel weak, numb, pins and needles, or like they are on fire. No one knows exactly how marijuana helps, but many people with neuropathy say that it makes them feel a lot better. • 4. Neuropathy

7. People with cachexia can get so weak that their bodies are more likely to get sick. This makes it more likely that they will die from their condition. Since medical marijuana is now legal in Iowa, people with cachexia or wasting syndrome may be able to get medical marijuana to help with their condition. • 5. Cachexia

8. How Does Medical Marijuana Help People with Cachexia • At the moment, neither a treatment plan nor a drug has been shown to treat cachexia and its symptoms well. As more research is done, there is a better chance that marijuana could be used to treat cachexia and cut down on its symptoms. • Most of the time, cachexia patients use cannabis to help with their appetite, nausea and vomiting, depression, and energy.

9. Epilepsy, which includes seizure disorders, is the fourth most common disorder, and about 80,000 people in the State of Mount Rushmore live with it right now. Scientists haven't found a cure for this disease yet, even though it affects a lot of people and can make their lives very hard. There are ways to deal with the condition and keep side effects and seizures to a minimum. Medical marijuana is one of these treatments, and it is now available in the state. Patients with epilepsy can use medical marijuana to relieve their symptoms and stop their seizures. • 6. Epilepsy and Other Seizure Disorders

10. At the moment, drugs are the only treatment for epilepsy that is commonly given. Some estimates say that about a third of people with epilepsy have forms of the disease that can't be treated with medicines that are currently available. Without the easiest way to control seizures, epilepsy is a very painful disease. People who choose to take medicine to treat their epilepsy often have unpleasant side effects like feeling dizzy, having trouble sleeping, getting skin rashes, having trouble remembering things, and more. The fact that some drugs have bad side effects and that some people don't get better with them makes it even better that Iowa now has cannabis as another treatment option. Medical marijuana has been studied for years as a way to treat epilepsy. Cannabidiol, a non-psychoactive part of marijuana, controls travel health well and makes seizures less likely to happen. Cannabidiol (CBD) won't give you the "high" that many marijuana users look for. CBD doesn't have a big effect on a person's mind because it doesn't make them high. Instead, it works with receptors in the body to change things like pain, inflammation, and anxiety. Notably, CBD can also be used to stop seizures.
