This doesn't seem to indicate much more than another step in treating patients.
We do have an opioid crisis, and to combat that one option is to use medical marijuana.
I'm more interested in why it needs to be prescribed in the first place. Percocet, Oxycodone, Oxycontin, Hydrocodone, etc are all oversubscribed after surgeries and treatments. Thats how we get the drugged up mom memes, like on The Real Housewives.
Anyone want to take bets though as to how effectively it will be used?
