Medicinal Cannabis Prescriptions Raise Eyebrows as Scripts Being Issued Every 4 Minutes
Regulators are worried some doctors are prioritizing profit over patient safety, with a few reportedly writing over 100 medicinal cannabis prescriptions a day.
An ABC investigation found that some doctors felt like they were being treated more like drug dealers — pressured to hand out scripts and only paid if they did so during the appointment.
What’s being done? A medical regulator has launched a task force to investigate how medicinal cannabis is being prescribed and to address any issues.
