It’s been a little over three years since Governor Tom Wolfe signed a bill to legalize the use of medical marijuana for approved conditions in Pennsylvania. Since April 2016, there has been a vast improvement in the accessibility to medical marijuana and Pennsylvania medical marijuana dispensaries.

As warmer weather approaches, we must remember that our medicine can feel the changes as well. There are certain do’s and don’ts of marijuana storage and overall tips and tricks for keeping your medical marijuana as fresh as possible.

It’s been a minute since we’ve done one of these, but we’re back for “Meet the Team” with a Solevo OG, if you will. Erin Rodgers has been with Solevo Wellness since we first opened in February 2018. Known for her thorough and insightful consultations, Erin has used her extensive knowledge to help countless patients at our Squirrel Hill location.

When you hear about medical marijuana for PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), what’s the first thing that comes to mind? Most likely, PTSD from serving in the military.  A large number of PTSD cases are associated with the military. However, there are also many cases of PTSD right here at home hurting many people who have never served. Every year on June 27, we recognize this day as PTSD Awareness Day. We’re grateful to have medical marijuana as a treatment option for PTSD in Pennsylvania for both veterans and non-veterans.

Have you ever looked closely at the label of your medical marijuana? If you have, you might have noticed a section for the terpene profile.
