Bengals/Browns Fans Could Get Medical marijuana
Being a fan of the Cincinnati Bengals or Cleveland Browns could score you a prescription for medical marijuana in Ohio. Being an Ohio football fan has been painful lately, but some folks think it’s right up there with bipolar disorder and chronic back pain as something doctors should be allowed to treat with a prescription for pot.
Ohio’s Medical Board received 28 qualifying petitions for new conditions that could be treated with cannabis. Among the issues are anxiety, hip pain, and “being a fan of the Bengals or Browns”.
The Board will meet on February 12 to decide which petitions to consider and then have a final vote over the summer.
