Exempts patients & defined caregivers who possess or cultivate marijuana for medical treatment recommended by a physician from criminal laws which otherwise prohibit possession or cultivation of marijuana.
Furthermore, legalise the sale of medical marijauna in dispensaries for these patients only.

Notably the whole plant as it's compounds work in synergy.
Additionally, in all these cases the benefits far outweigh the supposed dangers.
