A review panel on Friday 5-4-18 recommended adding 10 new conditions to the list of ailments for approval for medical marijuana use. The recommended additions are…
- Obsessive compulsive disorder
- Arthritis
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Spinal cord injury
- Inflammatory bowel disease
- Ulcerative colitis
- Parkinson’s
- Tourette Syndrome
- Autism
- Chronic pain
A Michigan regulator will consider an advisory board’s recommendation to add autism and other conditions to a list of allowable medical conditions for the use of marijuana.
Shelly Edgerton who is The Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs Director has until July 10, 2018 to make a decision on nine of the recommendations and until Aug. 6 to make a decision on another.
A previous director in 2015 rejected a recommendation to allow marijuana use for autism.
Marijuana is allowed to relieve the side effects of cancer and other conditions. Only post-traumatic stress disorder has been added since 2008.
