The Montana Medical Marijuana Act states that any attending physician, meaning any physician licensed under MCA Title 37, Chapter 3. M.D.s and D.O.s are the physicians licensed under this chapter. The statute is specific to physicians licensed in Montana. Naturopaths, chiropractors, and nurse practitioners are NOT qualified to sign the physician's "written certification." There is no published list of doctors available from the State of Montana. The Department of Health and Human Services cannot make a medical referral regarding medical marijuana. It is the responsibility of the patient to work with a physician with whom he/she has a bona fide doctor-patient relationship.
Under both Montana state law and the First Amendment to the
United States Constitution, doctors cannot get in trouble for
discussing medical marijuana. A physician may not be arrested,
prosecuted, or penalized in any manner, or be denied any right or
privilege, including but not limited to civil penalty or
disciplinary action by the Board of Medical Examiners or the
Department of Labor and Industry, for providing written
certification for the medical use of marijuana to qualifying
patients. According to the Medical Marijuana Act, a physician must
state in writing that the patient has a qualifying debilitating
medical condition and that medical marijuana may mitigate the
symptoms or effects of that condition. |
