medical marijuana laws

Medical marijuana laws regulate the use of cannabis for health conditions, allowing patients with qualifying conditions—like chronic pain or epilepsy—to obtain and use marijuana with a doctor's recommendation. Laws vary by state, with some permitting dispensaries and others restricting personal cultivation. Federal law still classifies marijuana as illegal, but enforcement is often limited if used legally under state rules. These laws aim to provide alternative treatment options while balancing safety and regulation. Always check local laws to understand specific qualifications, purchase processes, and restrictions related to medical marijuana in your area.
