CAN MINORS RECEIVE A MEDICAL MARIJUANA RECOMMENDATION?

While minors cannot legally obtain marijuana themselves, patients who qualify for medical cannabis and are under the age of 21 may be administered medical marijuana by a designated caregiver—either a parent, legal guardian, or 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 minor consumes marijuana.
