Medical Marijuana Dispensaries

There are now 24 jurisdictions that allow patients to use medical marijuana. In addition, 19 states and the District of Columbia have authorized the operation of dispensaries that give citizens access to medical marijuana products. In those jurisdictions, various state departments are often responsible for developing and implementing the regulations for dispensaries. The regulations focusing on registration and licensing, the number of dispensaries allowed, their location, and operation are examined on this page.
