At MOCA Health, we understand that navigating the world of medicinal marijuana can raise questions. Our marijuana concentrates are designed to provide patients with a safe, effective, and tailored treatment option. To help you better understand the benefits, usage, and safety of marijuana concentrates, we’ve compiled a list of frequently asked questions.
Marijuana concentrates are highly potent extracts made from the cannabis plant. These concentrates contain higher levels of active compounds, such as THC and CBD, which are the cannabinoids responsible for medicinal effects. Concentrates are available in several forms, including oils, waxes, and resins, and offer an efficient way to receive therapeutic benefits from marijuana.
Concentrates deliver concentrated doses of cannabinoids directly into the body, which can be absorbed quickly to provide fast relief from symptoms. They work by interacting with the body’s endocannabinoid system, which regulates various functions such as pain, mood, and sleep. Concentrates offer higher potency than other forms of medicinal marijuana, allowing for more precise dosing and a quicker onset of effects.
The main benefits of marijuana concentrates include:
Higher Potency: Concentrates deliver a more potent dose of cannabinoids, making them an effective treatment option for patients with chronic conditions or those who require stronger effects.
Precise Dosing: Concentrates allow for easier control of dosage, which is ideal for patients looking for consistent and predictable therapeutic effects.
Faster Onset: Due to their concentrated nature, marijuana concentrates can provide faster relief compared to other forms like capsules or edibles.
At MOCA Health, we offer a range of high-quality marijuana concentrates, including:
Oils: Marijuana oils are one of the most common forms of concentrates. They are easy to dose and can be taken sublingually (under the tongue) for quick absorption.
Waxes and Resins: These concentrates are typically consumed using specialized equipment, such as vaporizers or dab rigs. They contain high concentrations of THC or CBD and offer rapid relief.
Distillates: Distillates are highly refined concentrates that contain nearly pure THC or CBD. They are often used in pre-filled vape cartridges or as a base for other products.
Proper storage of marijuana concentrates is essential to maintain their potency and effectiveness. To keep your concentrates in the best condition, follow these guidelines:
Store in a Cool, Dark Place: Exposure to heat, light, and air can degrade the quality of concentrates. Keep them in a cool, dark area, such as a cupboard or drawer.
Use Airtight Containers: Store concentrates in airtight containers to prevent contamination and loss of potency. Glass jars or silicone containers are ideal.
Avoid Freezing: Freezing concentrates can alter their consistency and make them harder to use. Store at room temperature for the best results.
Dosage varies depending on the specific concentrate, its potency, and the patient’s individual needs. As concentrates are highly potent, it’s crucial to start with a low dose and gradually increase it to find the right level for your condition. Your healthcare provider will guide you on the best dosage for your specific needs during your telehealth consultation.
When used as prescribed and under the supervision of a healthcare professional, marijuana concentrates are generally safe. However, due to their high potency, they should be used carefully to avoid side effects such as dizziness, anxiety, or impaired motor skills. It’s important to follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider and only use the recommended dosage.
It is essential to discuss all medications you are currently taking with your healthcare provider during your telehealth consultation. Marijuana concentrates may interact with certain medications, and your healthcare provider will assess whether it’s safe to use them alongside your current treatments. They can help you make informed decisions about combining medications.

Marijuana concentrates are effective for a wide range of conditions, including but not limited to:
Chronic Pain: Conditions such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, and back pain can benefit from the potent effects of marijuana concentrates.
Anxiety and Stress: THC and CBD have calming properties that can help alleviate symptoms of anxiety and stress.
Neurological Disorders: Conditions like epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson’s disease may see relief from marijuana concentrates.
Sleep Disorders: Marijuana concentrates may help improve sleep quality for those struggling with insomnia or other sleep disorders.
The effects of marijuana concentrates depend on the cannabinoid content. Concentrates high in THC may cause psychoactive effects (a “high”), while those rich in CBD will not cause this effect. During your consultation, you can discuss your preferences and concerns with your healthcare provider, who can recommend a product that aligns with your treatment goals.
Marijuana concentrates are only available with a prescription from a licensed healthcare professional. After your telehealth consultation, if your healthcare provider deems it appropriate, they will issue a prescription that can be filled through an authorised pharmacy.
