Medical cannabis use in California

For over ten years, it has been legal for citizens of the state of California to cultivate, obtain, possess and use medical cannabis so long as a few certain restrictions were met. According to state regulations, seriously ill patients are allowed use of marijuana so long as it has been recommended by a medical doctor that believes it will benefit the health of the patient. For those unable to cultivate their own cannabis, certain medical marijuana dispensaries have been established to provide those in need with a safe, legal supply. The purpose of this site is to provide a list of these dispensaries as well as to doctors who provide consultation on the use of medical marijuana in California. The Medical Cannabis Caregivers Directory wishes to connect seriously and chronically ill Californians with the resources and medical staff they need to take full advantage of the beneficial effects of marijuana under the Compassionate Use Act of 1996.
