Everything in this library is general health information, not medical advice, and reading it does not create a physician–patient relationship. Treatment decisions depend on your own history and should be made with a licensed clinician who knows it. Rules governing state cannabis programs and prescription medications change — verify anything time-sensitive with the relevant regulator. In a medical emergency call 911. For mental health crisis support, call or text 988.
