While I personally believe if a doctor prescribes you medical marijuana (legal in your home state) as a result of a W/C injury, you should be reimbursed for that expense just like any other drug the doctor may issue, the law is the law and we can’t just pick and choose which laws we want to abide by; therefore I agree with this decision since:
“…the reimbursement limitation provision of Massachusetts’ medical marijuana act…prevents a health insurance provider or government agency from being ordered to reimburse a claimant for medical marijuana expenses, as the substance remains illegal under federal law.”
