BAY RIDGE

Read this to know how to get your Medical Marijuana Cards in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn.

Brooklyn is considered the most populated borough of New York City. There are roughly 2.7 million residents. Brooklyn received its name after the Dutch village of Breukelen. Brooklyn borders Queens and Western Long Island. It is surrounded by water and thus has several bridges and tunnels that connect to Manhattan across the East River. To reach Staten Island from Brooklyn, one only needs to cross over the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge. Brooklyn is enormous. Located in Kings County: the second most populated county in the United States.

Brooklyn was an independent incorporated city (and previously an authorized village and town within the provisions of the New York State Constitution) until January 1, 1898. Eventually, Brooklyn was consolidated with the other cities, boroughs, and counties to form the modern City of New York, surrounding the Upper New York Bay with five constituent boroughs. Like the other boroughs, Brooklyn maintains distinct culture. Many Brooklyn neighborhoods are ethnic enclaves. The six main historical Dutch towns are: Bushwick, Brooklyn, Flatlands, Gravesend, New Utrecht and Flatbush.

In the first decades of the 21st century, Brooklyn has experienced a transition as an avant-garde destination for “hipsters,” with concomitant gentrification, large house price increases, and a decrease in low income housing. Of late, Brooklyn has evolved into a thriving hub of entrepreneurship and high-tech start-ups, and of art and design.

Here are some fun facts: Brooklyn has 30 miles of shoreline with beautiful beaches. It is on Long Island but is not considered part of Long Island. It was settled by the Dutch as a farming village in the early 1600s, hence the name Breukelen. A cold war bomb shelter, which included crackers, medical supplies, paper blankets and water drums) was found on the Brooklyn Bridge during a routine structural inspection by city workers. Interestingly, Brooklyn is home to 700 arts and cultural institutions, some of which include: The Brooklyn Museum The Brooklyn MuseumNew York Transit Museum, Brooklyn Children’s Museum, Brooklyn Historical Center, Barclays Center, Brooklyn Academy of Music, and the Wyckoff Farmhouse Museum. More familiarly, Brooklyn is known for famous products like Twinkies, Sweet ‘N Low, Teddy Bears, the first roller coaster, the first bank card and of course, Nathan’s famous hot dogs!

When you ride through Brooklyn neighborhoods you will appreciate the melting pot that Brooklyn has become. There are several micro neighborhoods in Brooklyn. “Little Poland” is an area in Greenpoint, that is rich in polish culture and history. “Little Odessa,” in Brighton Beach, holds the highest concentration of Russian immigrants outside of the eastern hemisphere. “Little Pakistan,” home to the largest population of Pakistani in NYC is located on Coney Island Avenue. Lastly, “Little West Indies” is home to a strong West Indian and Caribbean group in the area of Crown Heights.

With its close proximity to NYC, understandably, “Brooklynites” lead full busy lives. With the legalization of medical marijuana in the state of New York, “Brooklynites” can now qualify for medical cannabis to treat their medical conditions right from the comfort of their own home. There are now a few dispensaries right in Brooklyn for added convenience located near Bay Ridge, a residential neighborhood in the southwest corner of the  Brooklyn, bounded by Sunset Park on the north, Dyker Heights on the east, the Narrows and the Belt Parkway on the west, and Fort Hamilton Army Base and the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge on the south.

Why Medical Marijuana?

GABAPENTIN + OPOIDS= DANGER

New research has been published that should cause every epilepsy patient to pause and consider their current medication regimen with their doctor. The US Food and Drug Administration is requiring prescription labels to note the risk of serious breathing problems with are used in conjunction with opioids or by certain patients.

What Patients Need to Know

When seniors, people with underlying respiratory conditions or those with epilepsy take gabapentinoids in combination with prescription opioid painkillers, there can be severe breathing difficulties that can lead to death. Numerous case reports, observational studies, animal studies and human studies informed this change in recommendations.

What gabapentinoids will be receiving these new labels?

  • Generic gabapentin
  • Neurontin
  • Gralise
  • Gabapentin enacarbil
  • Horizant
  • Pregabalin
  • Lyrica
  • Lyrica CR

What conditions do these drugs help with the treatment of?

  • Epilepsy
  • Postherpetic neuralgia
  • Neuropathic pain
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Restless legs syndrome
  • Generalized anxiety disorder
  • Insomnia
  • Migraines
  • Panic disorder
  • Social phobias
  • Bipolar disorder
  • Withdrawal from alcohol

Data from 2016 shows that 14-19% of all patient encounters with doctors that involved gabapentinoids also included opioids, which shows how many patients might be impacted by these new guidelines. This also means that these patients will need new pain-relieving alternatives. Medical marijuana is a proven powerful pain-reliever that is completely safe for use with gabapentinoids.

Helping Patients on Gabapentinoids Find New Opioid Alternatives

You do not deserve to live a life filled with pain. Instead, you deserve a healthcare professional who listens to your concerns and works to find a solution. One of our recent patients, Jennifer (name changed for patient privacy) remarked on how “simple” and “extremely comfortable” her visit was. “I was able to talk about my current problems so easily to her without any judgment. I strongly recommend her services.” After the visit, “any time [she] had an issue [Lauraine Kanders] would answer immediately to help [her] out.” Lauraine Kanders, ANP, ACNP-BC is always proud to help patients in pain through her work, and patients like Jennifer are a prime example of how a skilled healthcare professional can transform a life of pain into a life of comfort.
