Approved routes of administration include liquids and oil for vaporization or administration via inhalation as well as capsules to take orally.  Under New York law, smoking is not allowed and the current regulations prohibit the manufacture and sale of edibles.  \nIn terms of quantities, the patient’s certifying physician is required to include the following information on the patient’s certification: the authorized brand and form of the approved medical cannabis, the administration method and any limitations on the use of medical cannabis product.  If there is a recommendation regarding dosage, it should be noted on the certification.  Recommendations on dosage are not required.  The total amount of product recommended and dispensed should not exceed a thirty (30) day supply.  The certifying medical professional is responsible for determining the volume of medication necessary to adequately address a patient’s symptoms over a 30 day period. Certifications are valid for up to one (1) year.  \nIn terms of a specific type of cannabis, New York mandated two (2) products for medical cannabis.  One product contains an equal ratio of THC to CBD and another contains a low-THC-high-CBD ratio.  Each Registered Organization (RO) must offer these two products.  Each RO will also offer other products that contain varying ratios of THC to CBD.\n\nrachels","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_10155-markdown","title":"Can you point me to any research that supports medical cannabis use for different conditions?","slug":"can-you-point-me-to-any-research-that-supports-medical-cannabis-use-for-different-conditions","content":"\"I'm in New York and I'm interested in getting my medical marijuana card.\"\n_____________________\nA good site is www.pubmed.com\nThis is where you can find peer-reviewed clinical studies.
