Prescriptii covers the symptom patterns veterans ask about most, including PTSD-related symptoms, anxiety, sleep disruption, and chronic pain. Here's how the matching works for each.
Important: Prescriptii does not provide medical advice. The information below describes how the matching tool considers symptom patterns. Always discuss cannabis use with your healthcare provider.
PTSD is the most common condition reported by veterans using Prescriptii. The matching considers whether you need support primarily for sleep, daytime anxiety, hypervigilance, or a combination. Products are scored differently depending on whether you need daytime function preserved or nighttime sedation.
The system also factors in impairment tolerance — many veterans with PTSD need to remain functional during the day, which affects THC/CBD balance recommendations.
Pain management is the second most common use case. Prescriptii considers pain type (neuropathic, musculoskeletal, inflammatory), timing (constant vs. flare-based), and whether you need to avoid impairment during the day. Product format matters here — topicals for localized pain, oils for sustained release, dried flower for faster onset.
Sleep issues are often intertwined with PTSD, pain, and anxiety. Prescriptii scores products differently for sleep-specific use, prioritizing sedating terpene profiles (like myrcene and linalool), appropriate THC levels, and formats with longer duration to support staying asleep.
Anxiety matching is nuanced because high-THC products can sometimes increase anxiety in sensitive users. Prescriptii considers your experience level, whether anxiety is your primary or secondary concern, and your tolerance for psychoactive effects. CBD-forward and balanced-ratio products often score higher for anxiety-primary profiles.
Depression matching considers whether you're looking for mood elevation, motivation support, or general mood stabilization. The system factors in time of day — some products that help with depression during the day may not be appropriate for evening use, and vice versa.
Traumatic brain injury history is treated as a safety modifier, not a condition to "treat." If you indicate TBI history, Prescriptii applies additional caution: lower THC thresholds, preference for CBD-forward products, and explicit safety flags on all recommendations. This is one of the most important safety features in the system.

Beyond the primary conditions above, Prescriptii's scoring engine also covers nausea, appetite loss, inflammation, and muscle spasms. These are often secondary symptoms reported alongside the conditions above.
The 11-step intake is designed to capture the full picture — primary condition, secondary symptoms, timing, format preference, experience level, and safety considerations — so that matching reflects your actual situation, not just a single symptom.
The guided match takes a few minutes and gives you a clearer starting point.
