Health care facilities must permit qualified patients to use medical cannabis on-site, but smoking and vaping cannabis within the facility is prohibited

Medical cannabis must be stored in a locked container, and facilities may impose additional reasonable restrictions on storage and use to ensure safe operations

Each health care facility must develop and disseminate written guidelines for medical cannabis use and storage

Facilities may suspend compliance if the U.S. Department of Justice or Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services initiates enforcement action or issues rules expressly prohibiting medical cannabis use

"Health care facility" includes hospitals, outpatient facilities, diagnostic and treatment centers, rehabilitation centers, and freestanding hospices, but excludes substance use disorder treatment facilities
