    State Medical Board of Ohio to consider if being a Browns or Bengals fan qualifies for medical marijuana use

    CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) - Being a professional football fan in Ohio is stressful.

    That’s why a petition was submitted to the State Medical Board requesting that being a fan of the Cleveland Browns or Cincinnati Bengals be considered as a qualifying condition for medical marijuana prescriptions.

    Being a Browns or Bengals fan was one of 28 “conditions” submitted to the State Medical Board during the 2019 petition window:

    1. Anxiety
    2. Anxiety
    3. Anxiety, Depression
    4. Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar Disorder
    5. Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar Disorder, Arthritis
    6. Asperger’s Disorder
    7. Autism Spectrum Disorder
    8. Autism Spectrum Disorder
    9. Autism Spectrum Disorder
    10. Bengals/Browns Fans
    11. Cachexia/Wasting Syndrome
    12. Chronic Back Chronic Hip
    13. Depression
    14. Diabetes, Hypoglycemia, Hyperglycemia, Concussions
    15. Epstein-Barr
    16. Gastroesophageal reflux disease
    17. Generalized Anxiety Disorder
    18. Generalized Anxiety Disorder
    19. HIV/AIDS, Parkinson’s
    20. Insomnia
    21. Lupus
    22. Opioid Use Disorder
    23. Opioid Use Disorder
    24. Panic Attack and Anxiety
    25. PTSD, Depression, Anxiety
    26. Severe Social Anxiety
    27. Stage 4 Breast Lung Lymph Nodes Cancer
    28. Traumatic Brain Injury, Chronic Pain
    (Potential qualifying conditions that would treat the same condition are combined into one review)


    The State Medical Board’s Medical Marijuana Committee must now decide which of the 28 petitions should be considered as qualifying conditions for medical marijuana use. A committee meeting is scheduled for Feb. 12.

    According to State Medical Board Director of Communications Tessie Pollock, the committee will examine subject matter reviews conducted by physicians and medical marijuana experts before recommending the petitions to the full State Medical Board for a final vote, which is anticipated to take place in the summer.

    Petitions are filed online through the State Medical Board’s website with information that includes any relevant medical or scientific evidence and proof if the recommendation is sufficient enough to treat a specific disease or health condition.

    I knew what kind of season the Jets were going to have so I went and got my card down here in Florida.
    Pretty sad that we have to jump through all kinds of hoops and spend so much money but hoping within the next year or so it is completely legal here.

    And whom ever put together that list must have been stoned. "Er, let's see #1 anxiety, #2 we better put down anxiety, #3 can't forget anxiety, #4 anxiety is one that should definitely be there, #5 anxiety is a big one,....#17 did we say anxiety yet?, #18 I'm really anxious that we'll forget anxiety so better put it down now,....#24 hey I got one, anxiety, #25 just thought of another, anxiety, #26 I don't think anyone said anxiety yet so lets add that.

    I’m guessing those were all different petitions made by different people for the same conditions. People thought there needed to be another petition created by them rather than just sign one that was already going around. kinda like threads on here.

    Jets fans get a shady guy in the front office selling eighths of dried oregano.

    Jet fans need strong hallucinogens, so they can hallucinate winning a Super Bowl.

    Ohio should definitely legalize marijuana. They're getting destroyed by the opioid epidemic at this point and offering people another "legal" alternative that is much less harmful might mitigate that a lot.

    One thing that people discount in the opioid epidemic is that the opioids that most people abuse are largely obtained via legal channels, albeit via medical subterfuge in most cases. It would be interesting to look at what happens in a state when marijuana is legalized for recreational use. Does the level of hardcore opioid abuse (fentanyl and heroin) stay at the same level, increase or decrease? Does the level of "legal" opioid abuse (oxycodone, vicodin) stay at the same level, increase or decrease?

    All of that said, for the Browns fans - definitely.
