US: Medical marijuana arrives - State patients, doctors can begin registering for cannabis online

For people like Lindsey Beck, whose debilitating Crohn's disease kept her bedridden for two years before she discovered medical marijuana, the state's legalization of the drug for medicinal purposes on Monday is a partial win.

That's because though a process now is in place where physicians can recommend their patients try marijuana for a specific list of conditions, and it will be legal for them to use the drug, it still isn't legal to buy cannabis, and the law prohibits growing your own.

The legislation, signed by Gov. Dannel P. Malloy in May, provides no way to legally fill marijuana prescriptions. The Department of Consumer Protection will establish state-approved dispensaries. Still, as of Monday, patients and doctors could begin registering online.
