The legalization of medical cannabis in many states has made it easier for patients to access this treatment option, and the increasing acceptance of cannabis by the medical community has helped to remove the stigma associated with its use. However, more than half of medical cannabis states and most healthcare settings have not clarified the use of cannabis in healthcare facilities. The purpose of this white paper, Legislative and Administrative Guidelines for Regulating Cannabis Use in Healthcare Facilities, is to present the statute and policy language that has been used to support the use of medical cannabis in healthcare settings, providing a detailed blueprint for lawmakers, healthcare administrators, and other stakeholders interested in implementing a legal framework for the use of cannabis in healthcare facilities.
