Fourteen new medical conditions from anorexia to post-traumatic stress disorder are under review by the state to determine if patients should qualify for medical marijuana.
Individuals have filed 22 petitions to have the conditions qualified for treatment under the Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act by the Illinois Medical Cannabis Advisory Board, board spokeswoman Melaney Arnold said Monday.
Medical marijuana is now restricted to patients who suffer from a limited, predetermined list of conditions.
