Marijuana can’t be prescribed by a physician , a medical card is issued by the State, not the doctor and it is not covered by insurance
But a doctor must diagnose you with with a qualifying condition. So doctors are not cut out of the loop.
The doctor makes a “recommendation” to the State, the State evaluates the recommendation and may or may not issue the card.
Several States that allow for Medical Marijuana will deny a Permit to Carry due to the possession of said card
And will they deny or rescind a card for a cancer patient who is given a fentanyl script by their physician?
If not, they probably should based on the severity of possible side effects of that as opposed to May Jane.
I don’t know, but I do know that CO for example will not issue a permit to a Medical Marijuana card holder.
. C.R.S. 18-12-203 (c) states: A sheriff shall issue a permit to carry to an applicant who is not ineligible to possess a firearm pursuant to Federal Law.
Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Illinois, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, and West Virginia have similar language which requires the holder of a CWP to be able to legally possess a firearm under state and/or federal law.

Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.
