Ohio passes medical marijuana bill

Kasich signed it into law in a low-profile ceremony today. Pretty restrictive, but a broad range of ailments qualify. I would qualify if I lived there.

John Kasich just legalized medical marijuana in Ohio. Now what?

Which medical conditions will qualify for medical marijuana?

AIDS, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, cancer, chronic traumatic encephalopathy, Crohn's disease, epilepsy or another seizure disorder, fibromyalgia, glaucoma, hepatitis C, inflammatory bowel disease, multiple sclerosis, pain that is either chronic and severe or intractable, Parkinson's disease, positive status for HIV, post-traumatic stress disorder, sickle cell anemia, spinal cord disease or injury, Tourette's syndrome, traumatic brain injury, and ulcerative colitis.

Who will grow the marijuana?

No one may grow medical marijuana at home or for personal use. But those who want to grow medical marijuana commercially must apply with the Ohio Department of Commerce. They cannot grow marijuana within 500 feet of a school, public playground, church, public park or public library. Those with certain criminal convictions are disqualified from growing marijuana.

Every adult is allowed to grow 6 plants. My household, with 3 of us over 21, is allowed 18 plants.

Still, this is a big step for Ohio. Good job.

At least they are light years ahead of the backwards state that borders Ohio, Indiana.
