The Department of health of new York city extends medical marijuana to meet the growing demand from patients for this type of drugs.
Starting today the doctors, nurses and physician assistants can register online and certify patients as treated marijuana the same day. Officials say this will help to streamline and simplify the registration process for health professionals.
The Department of health also approved the addition of a second course on the medical use of marijuana for those who want to participate in the state program.
