CAN MINORS RECEIVE A MEDICAL MARIJUANA RECOMMENDATION?

While minors cannot legally obtain marijuana themselves, patients that qualify for medical cannabis that are under the age of 21 may be able to have a designated caregiver, which is either a parent, legal guardian, or an individual designated by a parent or legal guardian. In some circumstances, an appropriate caregiver may be otherwise approved by the Department of Health. The designated caregiver must be present when the patient that’s under 18 consumes marijuana.
