Medicaid is a joint federal and state program that provides healthcare coverage for low-income individuals. Currently, Medicaid does not cover medical marijuana as it is not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is classified as a Schedule I controlled substance at the federal level. However, some states have established their own Medicaid policies regarding medical marijuana coverage, so it is worth checking with your state's Medicaid program for more information.
