Information only
The content on kifdoctors.com is general information. It is not medical or legal advice, and reading it does not create a physician and patient relationship. Talk to a licensed physician about your health and to a lawyer about legal questions.
Evaluations and certifications
A medical marijuana certification is issued only after a licensed physician evaluates you and decides that you qualify under your state’s program. Approval is never guaranteed. The state program, not Kif, decides whether to issue a card, and it may charge its own fee.
Cannabis and your health
- Cannabis is not approved by the FDA as a treatment for most conditions. The evidence for benefit is stronger for some conditions, such as chronic pain and chemotherapy-related nausea, than for others.
- Cannabis can cause side effects, including dizziness, impaired memory and coordination, anxiety and, with heavy use, dependence. It can interact with other medicines.
- Do not drive or operate machinery while impaired. Keep cannabis away from children and pets.
Federal and state law
Marijuana remains illegal under federal law, even in states with medical programs. Federal law also affects firearm purchases, federal employment and travel across state lines. State laws differ, and this site does not give legal advice.
Emergencies
Kif does not provide emergency care. If you think you are having a medical emergency, call 911. If you are in crisis in the United States, call or text 988.
