\n\tWhat is a medical marijuana recommendation?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A medical marijuana recommendation is a document obtained from a physician that states, in the doctor's professional medical opinion, the patient has a qualifying condition and would benefit from medical cannabis use. Patients use this recommendation to apply to the agency that oversees the state's medical marijuana program in order to obtain a medical cannabis card.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t
