COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The Ohio State Medical Board on Wednesday further complicated its position about whether or not doctors can issue preliminary medical marijuana recommendations to patients.
Board member Robert Giacalone said during a committee meeting Ohio's medical marijuana law is not "crystal clear" and the board is not prohibiting doctors from recommending medical marijuana.
But a board-issued statement released last month led many patients and doctors to think otherwise. The statement added to the confusion around Ohio's new medical marijuana law, angering advocates and patients eager to legally use marijuana as a treatment.
Wednesday's comments don't change the board's previous statement, a board spokeswoman said Thursday.
