Here are the 20 Medical Conditions the State of Ohio Allows to be Treated with Cannabis
Republican Governor John Kasich signed House Bill 523 in June 2016, making the Ohio the 25th state to allow patients to use medical cannabis. About 90 days later, patients were legally allowed to using cannabis medicines. Where patients would get the cannabis was another question, since dispensaries are still not allowed in the state yet a year later, but nevermind the disconnect (In June 2017, Ohio will begin accepting applications that will allow 24 winners to grow medical cannabis).
HB 523 stipulates that cannabis can be recommended by doctors for 20 conditions, which are similar but not identical to the conditions approved by other states. Ohio’s qualifying conditions are:
HIV/AIDS
Alzheimer's disease
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
Cancer
Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE)
Crohn's disease
Epilepsy or another seizure disorder
Fibromyalgia
Glaucoma
Hepatitis C
Inflammatory bowel disease
Multiple sclerosis
Pain that is chronic and severe, or intractable
Parkinson's disease
Post traumatic stress disorder
Sickle cell anemia
Spinal cord disease or injury
Tourette's syndrome
Traumatic brain injury
Ulcerative colitis
