SB 5052: Cannabis patient protection

Establishing the cannabis patient protection act.

Summary

  • Requires licensed marijuana retailers to obtain a medical marijuana endorsement to sell medical-grade marijuana to qualifying patients and designated providers.
  • Requires qualifying patients and designated providers to be entered into the Medical Marijuana Authorization Database and obtain a recognition card to have additional amounts of marijuana products and arrest protection.
  • Varies the amount of marijuana that a qualifying patient may possess depending on whether or not they have a recognition card or authorization from a health care professional for an additional amount.
  • Eliminates collective gardens and replaces them with cooperatives which may only have four qualifying patients or designated providers and must be registered with the Liquor and Cannabis Board.
