New York is one of the 29 states in the US that have legalized medical marijuana and it was the 23rd state to do so. The law was approved in 2014 by the governor Andrew Cuomo, allowing patients to receive medical treatment in non-smokable ways. The state has a predefined, but rather flexible, list of qualifying conditions, all categorized as serious conditions, ten conditions were on the list such as multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, neuropathy. Recently, by the end of 2017, the government approved the use of medical cannabis for treating Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and chronic pain.
The state of New York has estimated around 19 million residents, but only a small amount of that, around 44,000, are patients that buy legalized marijuana. Whether there is lack of information, advertising, etc, these numbers are still a very small percentage of the residents in the state. If you are one of those people who are curious but too scared to try a different medical treatment, check some myths about marijuana.
The program started small and pretty restricted. Initially it was only possible to consume medical cannabis in the form of topicals, liquids, and capsules but recently this also changed. Etain Inc. recently received an authorization from New York’s Health Department allowing the production of new marijuana products such as lozenges and marijuana flowers that can be used in vapes. These products, however, will arrive to New York dispensaries by March.
The medical marijuana program in New York is often seen as very limited when it comes to the variety of products and the products available are more expensive than if flowers were available. Unfortunately patients of NY are not allowed to smoke the medicine. This has become a problem when it comes to attracting patients in this market. Not to mention, people’s fake idea that it is difficult to get a Marijuana Medical Card in New York.
