Résumé : |
Medical cannabis refers to preparations of the cannabis plant that patients use to treat medical conditions.
The cannabis plant has been used for medicinal purposes for thousands of years by many civilizations. As of January 2020, 33 states and the District of Columbia had put laws into place so physicians can certify the use of "medical marijuana," or medical cannabis, for debilitating medical conditions - although cannabis remains illegal federally. After obtaining a certification, patients may buy medical cannabis in special stores called dispensaries. Although this cannabis is not different from the cannabis that was available before medical marijuana laws, cannabis sold in dispensaries is subject to various state safety regulations and taxes.
