Last week in my Irvine office I had a mother and her 18 year old daughter  named Jhenna come in for a cannabis recommendation.  Jhenna stated that she had been suffering from anorexia for the past 4 years.   Her weight had plummeted to 94 lbs 12 months and she is 5’8″ tall.  It started while pursuing a modeling career upon entering high school.   Amazingly for the past year she has controlled her appetite and weight loss by medicating with cannabis on a daily basis.

Her mother was reluctant about Jhenna using cannabis in high school but could not deny the amazing results and difference it made in Jhenna’s health.

Jhenna stated that she only needs two doses of an indica strain called OG Kush to really stimulate her appetite.  Because she purchased a digital vaporizer she does not expose herself to any smoke and can medicate at her home without any SMELL (mch to the delight of her mother) At the time of my visit Jhenna’s weight was at 131 lbs.

In addition to cannabis Jhenna also receives psychotherapy and structured behavioral therapy.

Cannabis is an incredible medication for stimulating patients appetite.   The cannabinoids bind to receptors in the brain that assist with appetite control.  In addition patients also describe an enhanced enjoyment when eating while medicated.

If you suffer from anorexia nervosa and would like an evaluation to use marijuana medicinally feel free to give me a call at 877-721-0047 or pre-qualify for free at www.mcsocal.com
