Medicinal Cannabis
Medical Cannabis in California is nothing all that new. Rather, this state has served as the basis for 14 other

states in the union to proactively decriminalize marijuana for medicinal usages. Thanks to the progressive

medical marijuana program in California, more and more people are starting to understand how many practical

medical applications that California offers. For patients who are suffering, now they have another alternative

healthcare option that many find to offer the relief that they are seeking but void of side effects, adverse

reactions or interactions that are common with many prescription drugs.

Current Laws on California Medicinal Cannabis

The laws here can be difficult to understand if you are not a lawyer. However, they can be broken down to basic

terms to make them easier to digress. The laws ensure that "seriously ill Californians have the right to obtain

and use marijuana for medical purposes." They are designed to ensure "that patients and their primary caregivers

who obtain and use marijuana for medical purposes upon the recommendation of a physician are not subject to

criminal prosecution or sanctions of any kind."

Who Can Legally Use California Medical Cannabis?

As per the law, only patients and their state approved caregivers. According to California law, all patients must

be registered with the medical program, which is managed by the California Department of Public Health (CDPH). In

order to qualify, patients must be examined by a doctor and written a recommendation for cannabis. Then they must

submit an application to the health department with that recommendation to be issued a California medical

cannabis card.

Where You Can Buy Medical Cannabis in California

Upon receiving your California Medical Cannabis card in the mail, you will be able to purchase cannabis from

various dispensaries that are located throughout the state. The dispensaries only allow valid card holders to

gain entrance and make purchases (or their primary caregivers who hold valid cards). Each county has its own laws

regarding the amount of marijuana that a patient can purchase or possess at any given time.

Qualifying Medical Conditions for Cannabis in California

This state differs greatly from the other states that have legalized cannabis for medicinal usages. This is

because Medical Cannabis in California hosts the most liberal medical marijuana program. Currently, there are 166

qualifying conditions. A few are added and removed each year by voters. A marijuana doctor can help you determine

if you qualify under state law.
