I fully support the above changes. I found in my practice, once recreational cannabis was legalized and also when my patient population realized that authorized use did not equate to having drug plan coverage, the requests for medical marijuana went from about 20 per day to 1 per month. There is little value in monitoring the authorization of medical use in an environment where every corner supplies recreational cannabis and there is no penalty for people to grow their own at home. People nation wide are deciding for themselves which medical indication cannabis works for, and how much to use.
