Officials seek public comments on potential new Ohio medical marijuana conditions
By Laura Hancock - Advance Ohio Media, Cleveland (TNS)
COLUMBUS, Ohio State officials are accepting written public comments on six ailments that could potentially get added to the qualifying conditions list for medical marijuana.
The State Medical Board of Ohio will accept emails through Feb. 26 on the following conditions:
• autism
• terminal illness
On Wednesday, the board’s Medical Marijuana Committee reviewed 30 petitions of new conditions to potentially add to the current list.
But the board rejected most of the petitions for reasons ranging from the condition is already allowed which was the case for post-traumatic stress disorder to petitions that were incomplete, since the medical board requires petitioners to attach medical studies showing the efficacy of marijuana or information from experts who specialize in the study or treatment of the condition.
