Is this the same “APCO” where my parents and grandparents used to buy gas for their cars?

Not exactly. The current owners of APCO MED are the great-grandchildren of J. Steve Anderson, founder of Anderson-Prichard Oil Corporation in 1919, which later became APCO Oil Corporation. They are carrying on his legacy in Oklahoma business with APCO MED medical marijuana dispensary stores across Oklahoma and beyond.

Should I tell my primary care physician I’m considering cannabis as an alternative treatment to traditional treatment (i.e. prescription or over-the-counter medications)?

Absolutely! As your doctor, he or she needs to know all of the medications you plan to take or are already using in order to avoid any counter-indications or problems resulting from ingesting different medications that could cause issues for you. For example, taking certain medications together can cause many problems, including undesirable side effects and even death.

What is the difference between CBD and THC?

THC is the psychotropic component in cannabis that gives you an intoxicating feeling of being “high”. It is also a federally scheduled or controlled substance. CBD is a non-psychotropic component in cannabis. CBD is not a federally controlled supplement. You do not need a doctor’s recommendation or special license to purchase it. However, most patients benefit from using THC and CBD together as they are more effective treating symptoms than when they are taken individually. This is known as the “Entourage Effect”.
