Authorizes certain patients to use medical cannabis at certain health care facilities
This bill allows terminally ill patients to use medical cannabis within hospitals and nursing homes. It requires these facilities to permit use while prohibiting smoking or vaping, storing cannabis in locked containers, and documenting usage in medical records. The law does not change existing cannabis regulations and does not require facilities to recommend cannabis to patients. Facilities must create written guidelines for managing cannabis use on their premises.
