About UsWHO WE ARE “Premier Chronic Pain Care is an institute where empathy and sympathy collide, so communication and healing can begin.” HOW WE CAN HELP Georgia’s new medical marijuana law allows certain qualified persons to legally possess up to 20 fluid ounces of “Low THC oil,” which is derived from the marijuana plant. It authorizes the Georgia Department of Public Health to issue a “Low THC Oil Registry Card” to qualified persons, which will prove that they are authorized to have the oil and protect them from arrest. In order to qualify for exemption from prosecution for possession of marijuana oil in Georgia, the patient must suffer from one of these qualifying illnesses: Cancer, when such diagnosis is end stage or the treatment produces related wasting illness, recalcitrant nausea and vomiting.Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), when such diagnosis is severe or end stage.Seizure disorders related to the diagnosis of epilepsy or trauma related head injuries.Multiple Sclerosis, when such diagnosis is severe or end stage.Crohn’s DiseaseMitochondrial DiseaseParkinson’s Disease, when such diagnosis is severe or end stage.Sickle Cell Disease, when such diagnosis is severe or end stage.AutismAIDSTourette’s syndromePeripheral Neuropathy (pain that radiates)Epidermolysis Bullosa Intractable Pain Alzheimer’s disease PTSD   Additionally, anyone in a hospice program, regardless of diagnosis, will be allowed access to marijuana oil that’s low on THC, the chemical responsible for the marijuana high.

Premier Chronic Pain Care Provides Medicinal Cannibis Card Recommendations Premiere Chronic Pain Care – Atlanta is where empathy and sympathy collide, so communication and healing can begin. Their onsite physician, Dr. Rasean Hodge, is dedicated to providing Atlanta’s medicinal cannabis patients confidential, secure, and compliant evaluations. Dr. Hodge is pioneering in medical marijuana as one of the first and few medical doctors in Georgia, to recommend patients for the Medicinal Cannabis Card program. Their staff is warm, welcoming, completely professional and non-judgemental, and patients feel welcome and safe at Premiere Chronic Pain Care – Atlanta. This clinic’s marijuana doctor and staff are dedicated to paving the way for medical marijuana in Georgia. Dr. Hodge says “Cannabis chose him”. After breaking his neck in 2012 and having undergone two failed neck surgeries, Dr. Hodge soon  found himself taking the same medications he was traditionally prescribing to his patients, with harmful side effects. He then began studying and researching the plant (MJ) and discovered its many benefits. He weened himself from the harmful opioids and began treating himself with Medicinal Cannabis. After realizing its many benefits and seeing how much the Cannabis helped with his pain, depression, sleep disorder and his recovery, he immediately began advocating for Medicinal Cannabis here in the state of GA, and educating his many patients who suffer from chronic pain on a daily basis.  Being a patient who suffers from chronic pain on a daily basis himself, he understands the help and healing that can come from utilizing cannabis for medicinal benefits. Dr. Hodge’s ultimate goal is to aid other Georgia patients suffering from debilitating pain or other conditions that may be alleviated with medical cannabis.
