-create a database to monitor the safety and adverse effects of medical marijuana products on both intended and unintended users, and

-provide public education regarding the medical evidence for medical marijuana, and

-provide guidance to physicians regarding counseling patients who present for medical care requesting medical marijuana products. (HOD 2020 156)
