Medical cannabis programs
Medical cannabis programs allow patients with qualifying health conditions to access cannabis legally for therapeutic purposes. These programs typically require registration or a doctor’s certification, and they may regulate dosage, product type, and dispensing procedures. The goal is to provide relief from symptoms like pain, nausea, or muscle spasms when traditional treatments are insufficient. Regulations vary by jurisdiction, but overall, these programs aim to balance medical benefits with ensuring safe, controlled access, reducing illegal use, and supporting patient well-being within a legal framework.
