Customer testimonials

Hear from Iowa's patients

Having access to medical THC helps not only limit pain, but also avoid getting hooked on opiods. It helps me live a more normal life than I could without it, and work normal hours without a need to take time off because I'm struggling with pain.

I have progressive MS and have been prescribed strong pain meds for years, with all the side effects that come with those. I now have a permit for Cannabis and let me tell you, it helps me so much more than the pain meds from the pharmacy, with no side effects whatsoever!

Medical cannabis is the answer to my prayers. I feel better than I ever have, am more active & outgoing than I've ever been because I'm not in constant pain. I sleep great, wake up refreshed. I no longer use alcohol to mask the pain, either.

There are various Cannabidiol products which have proven very effective in mitigating pain I developed over nearly 20 years of military service. I'm now able to exercise regularly and spend quality time with my children nearly pain free without the use of heavy narcotics.

Qualifying for and learning to medically manage my pain with cannabis has proven to be so helpful that I am returning to work. I feel like I have a life again.

Ames, IA

Prior to being able to legally use cannabis in Iowa I was forced to use opioids to manage my pain and it gave me terrible side effects, & it was addictive. Since being approved for the IA medical program I have completely eliminated the need for opioids and my chronic pain is better managed than ever before!

As a patient who is in pain daily and has taken meds for years, cannabis has been a saving grace for me.  I've been able to get off lorazepam and not have to take any pain meds that are narcotics.  I have a better quality of life to enjoy my grandkids more and feel better.
