Let me clarify what I mean to say. The rights you’ve just listed are rights that only belong to someone once they have achieved or attained certain properties. It is necessary to have a medical license in order to have the rights of a doctor, for example.
Legal Landscape
Published in Betty Wedman-St Louis, Cannabis as Medicine, 2019
Given the lack of uniformity, there exists great disparity over implementation of medical marijuana regulatory programs, and access by patients thereto. For example, among the states, there are inconsistencies in which type(s) of professionals—or, in some cases, non-professionals—may recommend medical marijuana to a patient and in the regulations which govern those professionals’ recommendations. Requirements of medical professionals often include A professional medical license (e.g., M.D., D.O.) in good standing;Licensure in good standing to practice in a state, respectively;Valid, unrestricted DEA certifications;Completion of state-specific courses relating to the recommendation of medical marijuana, where required;Records concerning the physician’s “bona fide” physician-patient relationship, detailing the incorporation of other forms of care and treatment alongside a medical marijuana treatment regimen.

In 1879, with the promulgation of the “Medical License Examination Regulations”, only candidates who had studied Western medicine were eligible for a license to practice medicine. Most of the anatomy textbooks written by Japanese anatomists followed a format based on that of German anatomy textbooks of the time (and so medical students had to study German as a language) (Shimada, 2007). As a result, Western Germanic medicine broadened rapidly, and by 1945 the practice of Kampo had nearly disappeared and the knowledge of Kampo medicine had been forgotten. After 1945, some efforts to re-establish the practice of Kampo were made, and in 1976 the system of Kampo medicine and Kampo formulae was officially integrated into the Japanese medical healthcare system. According to statistics in 2011, 89% of Japanese clinicians used Kampo formulae in their daily practice either as the sole source of therapy or in combination with modern drugs (JKMA, 2011). A study by Moschik et al. (2012) found that usage varied by specialty, with physicians/internists and gynecologists using up to 25 or more Kampo medicines, while orthopedic surgeons, pediatricians, and psychiatrists generally used only 1–4 formulae.

States, as sovereign political entities, even if members of larger confederated political systems, typically regulate in collaboration with the targeted professions the criteria for initial licensure and the maintenance of licensure thereafter. It is in society’s best interest that the requirements for licensure are viewed through the lens of the promotion of public safety. Medical licensure laws commonly require professional education in an accredited school followed by post-graduate training in an approved residency program, the successful passing of licensure exams, and attendant initial licensure as a physician and surgeon. The licensee determines the nature of the practice to be entered into and elects specialized post-graduate training in that area of medicine followed, or not, by medical specialty board certification.

Since March 6, 2020, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) have expanded benefits for telemedicine services rendered during the COVID-19 public health emergency.15 The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has removed HIPAA (patient privacy) violation penalties for using communication technologies, such as FaceTime or Skype. New patient restrictions have been lifted, as HHS will not conduct audits of providers where no such patient–provider relationship existed. While state medical licensure laws still apply, physicians licensed in one state can provide services to Medicare beneficiaries in another state. Many non-Medicare insurance payers have followed CMS guidelines, offering 0 USD copay for telemedicine visits. Billing codes can be adjusted for different types of telemedicine visits, including video visits, phone calls, photo reviews, electronic visits, physician consultations, and physician referrals.

Some participants expressed the hope that legalization may allow for cannabis use in public places. Participants reported, “it wouldn’t change how I smoke it, but I would just feel a lot more like I could do it out in the open” (#17). Still, given progressive restrictions related to cigarette smoking (e. g., smoke-free public facilities, outside smoking distance restrictions), many participants reported they do not think their frequency or use location will change following legalization. Participants indicated, “no … cuz even now … if you have your medical license, you can’t just be like smoking a joint out on your front porch. You have to be inside your house … private … you can’t just be … driving around in your car … smoking” (#19).
