What I'm curious to know is how strict they are going to be about handing out medical licenses. My assumption is "not very" given the entire controversy surrounding these laws is about the significant amount of money flowing into the country from cannabis culture tourists. It sounds like the main idea behind requiring a prescription is to force people to buy cannabis from a couple of government-licensed dispensaries they can tax accordingly, as well as limiting the amount any individual can purchase or possess at a given time. Again, their primary concern appears to be significant amounts of it
leaving the country, which the government presumably sees as potential lost revenue.
This article happens to mention that "licensed professionals" including "traditional medicine providers" will be able to prescribe pot, which makes me think it'll be a system kind of like Canada or parts of the US prior to decriminalization where the "pot doctor" thing is a huge joke and all it takes to get your prescription is a 30 second Zoom call with a guy who will approve anyone who isn't a child, a heavily pregnant woman, or an obvious schizophrenic.
