by Bethan Rose
The medical cannabis commission has announced that they are opening the patient registry to the public on April 24th. This marks a significant moment for Medical Marijuana Program and patients can finally look forward to receiving their medicine. There has been a plethora of information released, but the main points are noted in this article.

The patient’s registered physician can link to the patient by entering the patient’s Commission-assigned number on the Commission’s secure database, and then issue an online certification for medical marijuana. Patients can then obtain medical cannabis at any licensed Dispensary in Maryland by presenting their valid government ID.
