Ever since medical marijuana became law in Pennsylvania, people have been wondering when the state would consider adding additional conditions to the list of those qualified for treatment under medical cannabis, in addition to the 21 current chronic illnesses which the drug treats. The Pennsylvania State Medical Marijuana Advisory Board is now in the process of accepting new, research-based petitions as to conditions that should qualify for medical marijuana use. They will discuss and vote on these petitions early next year, on February 1, 2019.
