Medical disclaimer

This is not medical advice

Dr. Cannabis publishes general educational information about cannabis. It does not diagnose conditions, prescribe treatment, or establish a clinician-patient relationship. Nothing here is a substitute for individualised advice from a qualified healthcare professional who knows your history, your diagnosis, and your medication list.

We are not physicians, pharmacists, or nurses. AI Venture Holdings LLC is a technology company, not a healthcare provider.

How our guidance is produced, and its limits

Recommendations come from a rules engine operating over content we have sourced to published literature, FDA labelling, and public-health guidance. A language model writes the explanatory prose around that output; it cannot change the substance. Neither component knows anything about you beyond the handful of answers you provide.

A rules engine cannot examine you, cannot see your notes, and cannot detect a serious condition presenting as an ordinary symptom. Persistent, worsening, or unexplained symptoms need a clinician, not a website.

Do not use cannabis if

• • You are pregnant or breastfeeding. The CDC advises avoiding cannabis by every route, including topicals, and notes THC is stored in body fat and released slowly.
• • You are under 21.
• • You are about to drive or operate machinery.
• • You are in a jurisdiction where the product you are considering is not legal.

Talk to a clinician first if

• • You take warfarin, clobazam, valproate, an immunosuppressant such as tacrolimus or sirolimus, or any drug with a narrow therapeutic window.
• • You have a personal or family history of psychosis, schizophrenia, or bipolar disorder.
• • You have a heart condition.
• • You are under 25 — the CDC notes brain development continues to about 25.
• • You are undergoing cancer treatment or are a transplant recipient.

Seek urgent care if

• • You have chest pain or difficulty breathing.
• • You have a seizure or lose consciousness.
• • A child has consumed cannabis — this is an emergency.
• • You have cyclical severe vomiting relieved by hot showers. This may be cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome, and the only definitive treatment is stopping cannabis.
• • You are having thoughts of harming yourself.

Legal status

A Department of Justice order effective 23 April 2026 moved state-legal medical cannabis and FDA-approved cannabis products from Schedule I to Schedule III. Adult-use recreational cannabis was not included and remained Schedule I federally. Cannabis legality also differs by state. Nothing on this site is legal advice. See our state law pages for general information.
