No, Connecticut Medicaid does not provide coverage for medical marijuana. Despite its legal status in the state for medical use, cannabis remains federally classified as a Schedule I drug. This classification prevents Medicaid, a federally funded program, from covering any costs associated with medical marijuana.

Key Points:

• Schedule I Classification: Marijuana’s classification under federal law limits federal program coverage.
• State vs. Federal Law: While Connecticut allows medical use, federal restrictions influence Medicaid policies.
• Alternative Costs: Patients in Connecticut must personally cover the expenses for medical marijuana.

Understanding these constraints can help patients plan financially while considering alternative treatment options.
