Do we have to document any qualifying conditions for marijuana use?

• A. Yes
• B. No
• C. Only with a special form
• D. Documentation must be submitted to the board

Answer: (B)

The requirement hinges on how medical marijuana is regulated: you document the patient’s condition as part of your usual medical record and, if you choose to certify, you submit that certification through the state's program. There is no separate, extra documentation to the board or a special form just for qualifying conditions. In other words, you don’t have to provide additional qualifying-condition documentation beyond the normal chart notes and the state certification process.
