Cannabis has a long history in the treatment of various diseases. Its medicinal use can be traced back to ancient Central Asia and Western China, with the earliest known documentation from around 2800 BC. This early reference appears in the pharmacopeia of Emperor Shen Nung, a pioneering figure in the development of Chinese medicine. There have been many well documented studies supporting the medicinal properties of Cannabis.
At the Texas Integrative Cannabis Clinic, we specialize in integrative cannabis medicine consultations to address various conditions recognized by the Texas Compassionate Use Program. While we believe in the significant therapeutic potential of cannabis, we also consider individual factors such as genetics, age, and existing health conditions that may impact treatment efficacy.
We are mindful of potential side effects and interactions with other medications. To optimize treatment, we also evaluate other cannabinoids and terpenes that might provide additional benefits and help reduce any adverse effects.
At TICC we offer over 20 years of experience in medicine and in 3 different specialties, Family Medicine, Geriatrics and Complementary and Alternative Medicine. Our formal academic training in three different disciplines of medicine allows us to have a good understanding of a person's unique health needs and how cannabis medicine may provide treatment to treatable conditions.

Each of these receptors contributes to how cannabis affects your body, targeting different areas based on what you need. This system is why cannabis can help with a range of issues, from pain to appetite to mood.
