Should Hospitals Allow Cannabis for the Terminally Ill?

SB 311 mandates healthcare facilities to have reasonable restrictions in how a patient keeps and uses their medical cannabis to ensure that they as well as other patients and employees of the medical institution are kept safe. The rules don’t apply to those who are being given emergency care, and in facilities where vaping and smoking cannabis is prohibited. In addition, the law doesn’t require the healthcare facility to be responsible for providing the cannabis for patients, and it also doesn’t require them to dispense cannabis from their in-house pharmacy.
