Medical Marijuana Approval Proposals: Broadening Access in Pennsylvania
Overview of Medical Marijuana Approval Proposals
In Pennsylvania, medical marijuana proposals are poised to expand access to cannabis treatments for patients significantly. If approved, nurse practitioners and podiatrists would join the ranks of professionals authorized to approve patients for medical marijuana cards.
