Approved patients will soon be able to obtain medical marijuana…legally. The marijuana producers who were approved by the state earlier this year will start to get their product out to dispensaries later this summer.
We talk with Commissioner William Rubenstein from the Department of Consumer Protection about the state’s medical marijuana program.
Are you registered with the state to receive medical marijuana? How has the process been for you?
We also check in with other parts of the country that have legalized medical marijuana, and are at different stages of the rollout process.
