Doctors who provide medical cannabis recommendations must be registered with their state’s medical marijuana program and adhere to strict guidelines. They must ensure that the patient has a qualifying medical condition and that medical cannabis is an appropriate treatment option for that condition. They offer follow-up care to ensure that the patient is responding well to the treatment.
