If the bill were to become a law, it would allow doctors to prescribe cannabis and set up a regulatory framework for patients to obtain it at approved dispensaries. However, smoking medical cannabis would not be permitted under the bill. Patients would only be permitted to consume marijuana through pills and oils.
