Medical Marijuana Caregiver Rules

In recent years, 24 states and the District of Columbia have legalized medical marijuana.

Caregivers provide ailing patients with varying degrees of assistance based upon state statutory and regulatory limitations. This dataset analyzes state guidelines for medical marijuana caregivers, including caregiver qualifications and permissible caregiver activities.
