PharmaCannis — Bronx, NY

Taking Root

PharmaCannis created the Take Root initiative to spread knowledge about medical marijuana in their patients’ local communities. Both patients and non-patients take part in educating their peers about the medical marijuana registration process and the capabilities of cannabis medicine. In addition, they push for legal medicinal cannabis access for patients with conditions outside of New York regulations.

PharmaCannis’ Medicine

There are no menus on any of PharmaCannis’ web presences, so the exact products they sell are unclear. New York has somewhat specific regulations for marijuana medicine, so we can deduce the kind of inventory they have by considering them.

Dispensaries in New York tend to offer oils, capsules, tinctures and vaping products that come in different formulas. The formulas involve cannabinoid ratios like:

• 20:1 THC:CBD: Patients experienced in medicating with cannabis can use high-THC medicine for stronger effects.
• 1:1 THC:CBD: A balance of THC and CBD lets a patient get the benefits of both cannabinoids in addition to reduced side effects.
• 1:20 THC:CBD: Medicine with a lot of CBD doesn’t cause a high and helps with symptoms like seizures

What New Patients Should Keep in Mind

Call the dispensary before your first visit to see what payments they take and ask if they need you to make an appointment. You’ll need to provide a state-issued photo ID, a written recommendation and a medical marijuana ID.
