Question 1

Is cannabinoid therapy right for me?

Accepted Answer

Cannabinoid therapy is a fit when conventional approaches have plateaued or carry tradeoffs you'd rather avoid. We evaluate every patient individually — there are people for whom it isn't the right tool, and we'll tell you.

Question 2

What happens at a first consultation?

Accepted Answer

A detailed intake, a 60-minute live conversation with Dr. Ferguson, a review of any prior workups, and the design of a precision protocol with a written follow-up summary.

Question 3

How long until I see results?

Accepted Answer

It varies. Some patients notice acute effects within days; others require weeks of titration before a stable protocol is established. We design for sustained response, not first impressions.

Question 4

What is the endocannabinoid system?

Accepted Answer

It's a regulatory network — receptors (CB1, CB2), endogenous ligands (anandamide, 2-AG), and metabolizing enzymes — that helps maintain physiological balance across nearly every organ system.

Question 5

Will I get high from medical cannabis?

Accepted Answer

Therapeutic dosing and intoxicating dosing are not the same thing. Our protocols are designed around therapeutic windows, with intoxication avoided unless clinically indicated.

Question 6

Does CBD do anything on its own?

Accepted Answer

Clinical evidence indicates CBD has distinct pharmacological effects, particularly at appropriate doses. Whether it's the right primary tool depends on the indication and the individual.

Question 7

How do I know which product is right for me?

Accepted Answer

Product selection is downstream of protocol design. Once we've established the cannabinoid profile, ratios, and dosing strategy, we narrow product choices to what fits.

Question 8

Do you sell products?

Accepted Answer

MMCO is a clinical practice. We recommend; we don't dispense.

Question 9

Are visits in-person or virtual?

Accepted Answer

Both options are available, depending on your location and preference.

Question 10

Is this covered by insurance?

Accepted Answer

Consultations are typically out-of-pocket; we'll provide documentation you can submit for potential reimbursement.

Question 11

Is this legal in my state?

Accepted Answer

Cannabinoid regulations vary by jurisdiction. We'll discuss the regulatory framework relevant to you during your consultation.
