Medical Cannabis for Hospice & Palliative Care

Understanding Hospice & Palliative Care

Palliative care focuses on providing relief from the symptoms and stress of a serious illness, whatever the diagnosis or prognosis. The goal is to improve quality of life for both the patient and the family. Hospice care is a specialized type of palliative care for individuals nearing the end of life, typically when a life-limiting illness no longer responds to curative treatments. Both aim to provide comfort and support.

How Medical Cannabis Can Help

For patients receiving hospice or palliative care in Texas, medical cannabis offers a natural and often effective way to manage a range of difficult symptoms, significantly improving daily comfort and well-being.

• Pain Management: Medical cannabis is widely recognized for its analgesic properties, providing relief from chronic and acute pain often associated with serious illnesses and their treatments.
• Nausea & Appetite Stimulation: It can effectively reduce nausea and vomiting, common side effects of illnesses and medications, while also stimulating appetite to help maintain nutrition and energy.
• Anxiety & Depression: Cannabis can help alleviate the emotional distress, anxiety, and depression that often accompany serious illness, promoting a greater sense of calm and peace.
• Sleep Improvement: Many patients experience sleep disturbances; medical cannabis can promote restful sleep, crucial for comfort and overall health.
• Spasticity & Muscle Relaxation: For conditions causing muscle spasms or stiffness, medical cannabis can offer significant relief, enhancing physical comfort.
• Overall Quality of Life: By addressing these challenging symptoms, medical cannabis helps patients achieve a better quality of life, allowing them to spend their time more comfortably and meaningfully with loved ones.
