Since the passage of legislation changing the legal status of medical marijuana, citizens in need of cannabis have been turning to their doctors to see if they have a condition that is state-approved for treatment such as chronic pain, seizures, severe muscle spasms, or severe wasting associated with cancer treatment. Even with the more readily available treatment, the path to getting it may be puzzling for some if they are not pointed in the right direction. Although the process varies slightly for patients and caregivers, if you wish to know how to get medical marijuana in Dubois or another city in Pennsylvania via participation in the medical marijuana program, you need do the following:
Patients
