Medical marijuana program in New York

New York is home to one of the largest cities in America with a medical marijuana program.

Their program, like the state, is expansive and covers a large variety of conditions.

New York patients with cancer, epilepsy, HIV/AIDS, Huntington’s disease, inflammatory bowel disease, Lou Gehrig’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Neuropathies and Spinal cord damage can use marijuana to treat their disease, making legal marijuana a possibility in New York.

Unfortunately, New York only allows marijuana in the extract and pill form. They have ignored the benefits of the whole plant.
