Michigan Says Autism And Arthritis Now Treatable - Linville - 07-20-2018 Michigan Says Autism And Arthritis Now Treatable By Medical Marijuana MICHIGAN (CBS Local) – Michigan has added several medical conditions to the state’s list of ailments which qualify for a medical marijuana prescription. In a release by Michigan’s Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA), 11 “debilitating medical conditions” including autism, arthritis, Parkinson’s disease, and Tourette’s Syndrome have now been deemed treatable by LARA’s director Shelly Edgerton. “With the changes in state law to include marihuana-infused products, and the advancement of marihuana research… I’ve added these eleven conditions to the approved list,” Edgerton said in the July 9 release. The 11 conditions joins other serious illnesses like cancer, glaucoma, and ALS on the state’s approved marijuana list. Michigan’s full list of newly approved ailments includes: Arthritis Autism Chronic Pain Colitis Inflammatory Bowel Disease Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Parkinson’s Rheumatoid Arthritis Spinal Cord Injury Tourette’s Syndrome Ulcerative Colitis 11 other conditions were denied marijuana treatment by Edgerton. That list included asthma, depression, and diabetes. “It is definitely opening the doors to be able to help many, many families. I honestly feel like it saved my son’s life,” Amie Carter told WNEM. Carter’s 11-year-old son Jayden has autism and has reportedly had major issues with behavior in the past. “Because of cannabis oil he hasn’t any encounters with police in over a year, it changed our lives,” Carter added. RE: Michigan Says Autism And Arthritis Now Treatable - nnairehs - 01-17-2019 Are there any medical professionals with thoughts on this, both for and against please? RE: Michigan Says Autism And Arthritis Now Treatable - MoJim - 01-17-2019 Amazing that any research is done considering it's still a sch 1. So glad the states are moving forward while the feds have their heads stuck in the sand. I would hope that in 2020 more states will legalize mmj or rec mj. At a minimum the feds just need to lower mj from sch1 to a 2,3 or 4 status and then more researchers will be allowed to do the work they need to do. RE: Michigan Says Autism And Arthritis Now Treatable - folken - 01-17-2019 Have nothing against MJ using/users. It is just my observation that Big Corp/ BigPharma are really into this legalization ( which I support- the legalization part ie. ). It is just that now it seems MJ is the cure for every ill known to mankind- so the list of 'approved' maladies to which MJ will be prescribed is only going to increase- natch Once Big Corp sees the $$$$ - the approved applications & studies to support < which most have paid for by BigCorp > guuna go up. Reminds me of the old west days of guys selling bottles of magic elixir to cure all your ills.  Some things have real data eg. CBO Oil for pain - some other things? call me Mr. Skeptical please. JMHO is all.......................................Folken < People really need help but may attack you if you do help them. > < Help people anyway. >
