Voted the number one Certification Center three years in a row, Tumbleweeds Health Center is Arizona’s premier cannabis certification, health and education center dedicated to providing the most current information about Tucson medical marijuana and the Arizona Medical Marijuana Act (AMMA).

Their primary focus is to help the patients of Arizona obtain their medical marijuana card and educate everyone about medical cannabis and how it can help with medical needs not met by other types of medications or healing methods. Tumbleweeds provides a warm, safe place for everyone to gather information, education and enjoy a cup of organic coffee or tea. They also offer interpreting services for the deaf and hard of hearing.

Modern research suggests that medical cannabis is a valuable aid in the treatment of a wide range of challenges which may include chronic pain relief—particularly of arthritis, neuropathy, nausea, fibromyalgia, migraines, Crohn’s disease, epilepsy, seizures, glaucoma and movement disorders. Cannabis is also a powerful appetite stimulant, specifically for patients suffering from cancer, HIV/AIDS, wasting syndrome or dementia.

Tumbleweeds’ health center has an extensive library related to medical cannabis, health and healing. Visitors are able to educate themselves by watching a DVD, reading a book or talking with one of the knowledgeable staff. The retail shop boasts books, videos, high CBD hemp products, vaporizers, grinders, rollers, papers, pipes and other accessories.
