Compassionate Cleveland now offers Medical Marijuana Recommendations in Beachwood

Residents of Beachwood may now access a caring and compassionate medical marijuana recommendation service locally: Compassionate Cleveland. As a doctor-owned and operated clinic, Compassionate Cleveland excels at cannabis education and patient empowerment. Compassionate Cleveland is also the first and only clinic in Ohio able to provide comprehensive and high-quality mental healthcare in tandem with medical marijuana services. Their stellar and academically-ranked clinicians are more than equipped to assist patients in their pursuit of happier and healthier lives.

Compassionate Cleveland’s team is led by Dr. Zaraa, an esteemed psychiatrist who studied medicine at the University Hospitals of Cleveland and Case Western Reserve School of Medicine. As an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Case Western Reserve School of Medicine and an Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Baldwin Wallace University, Dr. Zaraa believes, to his core, in helping people surmount their problems. With more than a decade’s worth of experience in the medical field, Dr. Zaraa brings to bear not just a depth of expertise to his practice, but a breadth of understanding which makes Compassionate Cleveland the optimal choice for those in search of empathy, kindness, and respect. He even maintains an insightful and helpful blog on the clinic’s website where patients can comment and connect.

Local Legislation:
Medical marijuana legislation in Ohio states that potential medical cannabis patients must suffer from a chronic or debilitating condition to qualify for cannabis use. Medical marijuana patients have legal access to oils, tinctures, plant material, edibles, patches, and any other form of medical cannabis approved by the State of Ohio Board of Pharmacy.

Process:
The process of acquiring a medical marijuana recommendation through Compassionate Cleveland in Beachwood is convenient and patient-friendly. First, prospective patients must gather relevant medical documentation describing their chronic condition. Then, patients schedule an appointment with Compassionate Cleveland, where a state-approved cannabis physician will assess qualified patients with their medical marijuana recommendations, or their signed Statements of Affirmative Defense. As of yet, the Ohio Medical Marijuana Control Program registry is inactive, so the complete process ends here for now. However, once the program begins to roll out across the state, Compassionate Cleveland will help its patients through the remaining part of the registration process to acquire their registry ID cards.

Service Locations:
Compassionate Cleveland is proud to serve not just Beachwood, but the entire region, from Shaker Heights to Warrensville Heights and even Bedford Heights — residents of every Heights in the area can find a home here at Compassionate Cleveland. From Chagrin Falls to Cleveland Heights and beyond, this clinic’s patient-first healthcare is second to none.
