AI Summary

  • Health care facilities may adopt reasonable restrictions on medical cannabis use by registry patients, including storage requirements and location specifications, but cannot unreasonably limit access or prohibit use solely because cannabis is federally controlled.

  • Schools cannot refuse to enroll patients or penalize them solely for registry enrollment unless doing so would violate federal law or cause loss of federal monetary or licensing benefits.

  • Landlords cannot refuse to lease to patients or penalize them solely for registry enrollment unless doing so would violate federal law or cause loss of federal monetary or licensing benefits.
