To do so, patients just need to send an email to our customer service team at support@nuggmd.com, with the subject line "refund request."

Our customers here at NuggMD are our #1 priority, and we are always striving to make sure that they are all 100% satisfied with our platform. If not, all will get their money back, guaranteed!

Usually, single doses of edible marijuana are separated or scored into 10 mg increments.

Some patients find that doses of 5mg or even 2.5 mg are more than enough with edibles.
You must be 21 or older to use recreational marijuana in Illinois, just like with alcohol sales.

Never. Not under any circumstance. It is still illegal to drive while under the influence of marijuana. It's not safe to do so and can result in a motor vehicle accident.

The marijuana possession for Illinois residents 21 and older are the following:
Illinois residents will need to present their ID when purchasing marijuana at a state dispensary, much in the same way they do for alcohol sales, and you must be 21 or older to buy marijuana.

Yes, they can. Nothing in Illinois's MMJ legislation prevents businesses from prohibiting their employees from using marijuana. Be sure to consult your particular workplace policies before using medicinal cannabis.
To prevent the unintentional access of marijuana, residents should always keep their marijuana in a hidden location under lock and key. If your children have consumed marijuana, you should immediately contact Poison Control at 800-222-1222. Be sure to call 911 and an ambulance if you believe the child needs urgent medical care.
Marijuana could potentially be dangerous or harmful for your pets, depending on its form. You should always keep marijuana products out of reach of any pets.

And never let your pet have chocolate, which is toxic to cats and dogs whether it has THC or not.
No, you should abstain from all marijuana use if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.
Yes, it's possible to overdose on marijuana. A fatal overdose is incredibly unlikely however. It's more likely that ingesting an extremely high amount of cannabis will lead to injury by affecting your judgement, coordination and perception. THC is an extremely potent hallucinogen and it's common for people to take too much, especially with edibles. So never take dosing lightly or encourage someone to take more than they should. And remember that 10mg is an average dose of cannabis, but many novel users find that 2.5 to 5 mg is more than potent enough.
Smoking marijuana does incur some risks. For instance, marijuana smoke contains some chemicals that can be found in cigarette smoke. Smoking cannabis can cause an increased risk of developing bronchitis, nasty coughs, and high phlegm production. Many doctors recommend dry herb vaporizers for patients who need the rapid relief provided by smoking rather than the slow but long-lasting onset that edibles provide; but every method of inhalation has risks. If you have concerns about your lung health, it's a good idea to ask your doctor about the best consumption methods during your evaluation. There are many other forms available including tinctures, pills, topicals, nasal sprays, inhalers and even suppositories.
Absolutely.
