Enter these costs under Medical Expenses as Prescription Expenses.

To find this easily, open your return and search on "medical expenses." The jump-to link will take you directly to the start of this section. Follow the prompts to enter all your medical expenses.

This answer is incorrect. Per IRS publication 502, "You can't include in medical expenses amounts you pay for  controlled  substances  (such  as  marijuana,  laetrile, etc.) that aren't legal under federal law, even if such substances are legalized by state law."

So where does this place CBD's? Those are legal under federal guidelines and could also be considered a "doctor recommended herbal supplement."

Even though the topic may not be as fresh, I'll still do my best to help you out with your medical marijuana receipts on Turbo Tax! If you've got an OMMP Card approved by your physician for a medical condition, you're in luck. Back in the day, Turbo Tax had a section for medical expenses where you could claim those receipts. Just make sure to look for that section and follow the prompts to enter your info and get those sweet deductions! By the way, if you're interested, I found this article at https://www.mindbodygreen.com/articles/seriously-no-more-groggy-mornings3-key-reasons-to-use-cbn-and.... It talks about CBN and CBD for sleep. It's pretty fascinating how these compounds can potentially help with medical conditions.
