Compassionate Care Act

The Compassionate Care Act, often referring to various state laws, generally allows qualified patients to use medical marijuana for relief from severe health conditions. It aims to provide access to cannabis for therapeutic purposes, helping individuals manage pain, nausea, and other symptoms associated with illnesses like cancer or multiple sclerosis. Patients typically need to obtain a recommendation from a licensed healthcare provider and must register with the state to receive a medical marijuana card, ensuring they can safely and legally access treatment that improves their quality of life.
