That's a very simple and simple issue. What Eidelman did

That's a very simple and simple issue. What Eidelman did wrong? He was negligent for prescribing the drugs to the boy—not because of the child's treatment plan, but because Eidelman failed to consult a psychiatrist or collect relevant information from the boy’s school and father, such as sleeping patterns and moods.

"Dr. Eidelman was incompetent and negligent for prescribing marijuana to a four-year-old," said California State's Attorney Andrew M. Madigan.

If it turns out that this is a common practice, many other physicians and patients will be more likely to take action.

A recent study of doctors has found about one-third of the medical profession uses marijuana to treat anxiety and depression. And the U.S. attorney general is considering a lawsuit against a California medical marijuana dispensary after authorities found that the medical marijuana dispensary in the U.S. had failed to meet state Medicaid eligibility requirements—and had failed to provide adequate medical care.

That's one of the many reasons why the California medical marijuana dispensary should be taken off the list of medical marijuana dispensaries because of its "pot problem", Madigan said.

"The state has got to do something, and if it does it's going to have to be much more robust than the one in California," Madigan said.

Even if it wasn't, medical marijuana patients might come with an increased risk of serious medical problems, he added.

California law says that marijuana is not prohibited under any circumstances from being sold for medical purposes. But the state's medical cannabis dispensaries aren't licensed in the state, so it's a public health concern as to be exempt, according to a 2016 report by the National Center for Drug Abuse.

Many of the state's medical marijuana dispensaries have had to shut down over the past few years because of the legal status quo. In 2013, the California Department of Justice issued a civil action against a pot dispensary that had licensed cannabis to patients in California.

A California court ruled that the dispensary failed to meet the state's requirements of a state-licensed doctor within nine days of their certification.

The California Medical Marijuana Dispensary Act, which passed in 2011, was designed to protect the public from pot-related illness. But if it fails to meet all the state requirements, it's illegal to sell marijuana in California, according to the California Medical Cannabis Dispensary Action Network.

But because the state can't regulate medical marijuana dispensaries like they do in California, it's difficult to know how
