PAAD, Senior Gold, Catastrophic Illness in Children Relief Fund and Victims of Crime Compensation Office would cover or share costs for patients' cannabis.

Patients can soon buy more medical marijuana more each month, with eventual home delivery. The sales tax will fade away, though local taxes may be coming.
