Minnesota hospitals will be allowed to dispense medical marijuana

Submitted by Marijuana News on Mon, 06/01/2015 - 08:00

St. Paul, MN (WDAY/WDAZ TV) - Minnesota hospitals and health care facilities will be allowed to control, dispense and manage the use of medical cannabis under a newly-expanded availability.

Medical cannabis will become legal in pill and liquid form in July. The original law didn't include hospitals on the list of those allowed to distribute medical marijuana, but the Minnesota Legislature expanded the law during the final days of the 2015 session.

Health care facilities are also allowed to reasonably restrict the use of medical cannabis by patients when it comes to storage and location.

The Minnesota Department of Health says to get medical marijuana, patients must be listed on the Minnesota medical cannabis patient registry and be actively receiving treatment or care at the facility.
