What is Medical Marijuana and how does Medical Marijuana work?

 

Is the Bahamas ready to accept Medical Marijuana as a treatment option for certain medical conditions?

 

Will the acceptance of Marijuana as a legal drug become the catalyst to decriminalize and remove the stigma surrounding recreational marijuana use in our local communities?
