Is a prescription from a physician needed in order to obtain medical marijuana?
No. A prescription is not needed. However, a physician must provide written “instructions” for a qualified patient, or their primary caregiver, to present at the alternative treatment center. The instructions will provide the total amount (in weight) of usable marijuana that a patient may be dispensed in a 30-day period. This amount cannot be more than two ounces.
