Cannabinoid Services Disclosure

Cannabinoid consultations at Balanced Kids are educational and clinical in nature. They are not a substitute for emergency care, and they do not replace the care of your child's existing healthcare providers where that care is needed. Balanced Kids coordinates with your child's care team whenever appropriate, and consultations are designed to complement, not replace, other necessary medical care.

Scope of practice:
Cannabinoid consultations provide education, clinical evaluation, and personalized guidance based on current evidence-informed practice. Balanced Kids does not sell, dispense, or distribute cannabinoid products. Recommendations made during a consultation are not prescriptions for specific products or brands, and families are responsible for sourcing any products discussed through legal, appropriately licensed channels.

Minnesota medical cannabis program:
Participation in Minnesota's medical cannabis program is separate from Balanced Kids and is administered by the State of Minnesota through state-registered cannabis patient centers. Any products obtained through the program are obtained directly from those centers. Balanced Kids provides clinical certification when appropriate but does not sell, dispense, or distribute products available through the program.

Individual results:
Every child is different, and responses to cannabinoid care vary. Outcomes depend on factors including the underlying condition, the specific cannabinoid used, dosing, delivery method, and individual physiology. No specific outcome is guaranteed, and cannabinoid care is not appropriate for every child or every condition.

Emergency care:
Cannabinoid consultations are not designed for acute or emergency medical needs. If your child is experiencing a medical emergency, please call 911 or go to your nearest emergency department.

Regulatory compliance:
All consultations are conducted in accordance with Minnesota state law, federal law, and applicable professional standards for pediatric nurse practitioners practicing in Minnesota. This page does not constitute medical advice. Individual clinical guidance is provided only within the context of a scheduled consultation with an established provider-patient relationship.
