On Wednesday, June 12, the board voted to reject the petitions for depression, insomnia and opioid use disorder but decided to table votes on autism spectrum disorder and anxiety for additonal discussion and review.
A condition that has been rejected by the board will not be reconsidered unless new information, such as additional research or supporting evidence, is provided.

Updated Search Map Feature
Last month we emailed you a survey requesting CTR practice addresses to include on the physician search map. Using the information from the survey responses, we have updated the search map feature to show each submitted practice address. Click here to view the search map for the CTR practice locations.
We’ve also received feedback from some physicians who were granted a CTR but have no intention of making recommendations to patients. If you applied for a CTR for any purpose other than making patient recommendations (e.g. research, specialized CME, etc.) please let us know and we will not feature your contact information on the map.
If you received your CTR this month, or have not completed the survey, please provide a list of all addresses you wish to list on the medical marijuana physician locator by completing the survey below.
