ST. PAUL - Most medical marijuana patients who took a state survey say they benefited from the newly allowed treatment.
About 90 percent of the patients responding to the survey reported mild to significant benefits, the state Health Department reported Monday. About 20 percent reported non-life-threatening side effects.
The biggest problem the survey showed was that 73 percent said medical marijuana is expensive. It generally is not covered by insurance. Patients have been able to use medical marijuana since July 1, 2015, if their doctor approves.
