Are you currently taking one or more prescription drugs? Did you know that CBD may be able to treat your symptoms? We’re sharing the top 5 reasons to switch to CBD instead. It should go without saying, but just in case... you should always speak with a doctor before changing your medication. Our licensed, certified physicians are always here to help you!

1. Fewer Pills

The amount of symptoms and illnesses that CBD can relieve seems to grow as each day passes. This wide variety may very well provide the opportunity for you to replace many of the pills you currently take.

2. Decreased Risk of Nasty Side Effects

Most prescription drugs come with mild side effects but some can produce pretty severe side effects, including but not limited to allergic reaction, suicidal thoughts & tendencies, internal bleeding, blood clots, cardiac arrest, and even death. Eliminating some of these prescription drugs and replacing your therapy with CBD can save you from some, if not all of these awful side effects. It’s important to note that CBD has no known side effects, itself.

3. Non-Addictive

Prescription drugs are some of the most addictive substances out there, all too often leading to overdose and death. CBD has the unique ability to treat the same symptoms (sometimes even more effectively) without risking potential addiction.

4. Safe

There is no lethal dose of CBD. This means that it’s impossible for you to overdose, thus making it safe for people of all ages (children, adults, seniors) and even pets!

5. Highly Effective

Even though medical marijuana is considered to be an “alternative medicine”, it interacts with the body systems (endocrine and nervous) that are responsible for maintaining homeostasis. This gives it the ability to offer relief to both body and mind, just as prescription drugs can. Studies on the effectiveness and success of CBD are ongoing, but current research and patient testimony proves that it is a truly viable option.
