When you receive your treatment plan from the doctor, make sure that your treatment plan:

- Is individualized to your specific symptoms and addresses whether your symptoms are chronic or episodic in nature and the time course of the symptoms throughout your day
- Utilizes the best route of administration for your specific needs, taking into account onset of action, duration of action, and ease of adjustment
- Factors in current marijuana usage, including use of CBD oil, and calculates equivalent dosages using a route of administration that is legal under Louisiana law
- Includes detailed information about marijuana strain, active components, and terpene profile and how to adjust each component for maximum positive effects and to counter balance negative effects
- Consider the overall cost of your treatment plan and produces the best treatment plan for you at the lowest possible product cost.
