Medical Cannabis Regulations

Medical cannabis regulations govern how patients can access, use, and possess cannabis for medicinal purposes. These laws typically require a doctor's approval, establish licensed dispensaries for legal purchase, and specify possession limits. Regulations also cover cultivation rules for qualified patients or caregivers, safety standards, and record-keeping to prevent misuse. The goal is to ensure safe, legal access to cannabis for health conditions while preventing diversion and abuse. Regulations vary by jurisdiction, reflecting local policies, but generally aim to balance patient rights with public safety and oversight.
