"Cannabis exists in a parallel pharmacotherapy that physicians cannot dismiss when prescribing other medications with potential interactions or when evaluating a patient’s physical or mental health symptoms. In states with recreational legalization, physicians essentially cede agency over the type, frequency, and amount of cannabis their patients use to retail shop owners with commercial interests. The same can be said, to some degree, for states with legalized medical use, where physicians may authorize patients to receive cannabis but are not involved in dosing or administration."
