Public comments are welcome on proposed Medical Marijuana regulatory changes in NY

starting wednesday august 23, and for the next 30 days, the public can make comments on the draft rules to make significant improvements to new york's medical marijuana program. the department of health wants to hear the voices of the community before they implement their initiatives.

some of the proposed changes would include:

allow more cannabis preparations, including chewable preparations, ground, whole plant (flower) cannabis and topical treatments.

reduce the burden on doctors by halving the length of the medical marijuana course from four hours to two.

revising unnecessarily onerous security requirements that drive up prices.
