Local clinics optimistic about medical marijuana program expansion

AMHERST, N.Y. (WIVB)- New York’s Department of Health recently announced nurse practitioners will have the power to certify patients for the state’s medical marijuana program.
“Our patients ask us daily and it’s difficult because we just don’t have a space for these patients,” said family nurse practitioner, Kathryn Murphy.
Murphy works at the Dent Cannabis Clinic in Amherst. She told News 4 the office gets up to 70 calls a day from perspective patients.
