Qualifying conditions vary by state. Many states include conditions such as chronic pain, PTSD, anxiety, sleep issues, epilepsy, cancer, and others. During your consultation, your provider will review your symptoms and medical history and determine whether you qualify under your state’s laws.
What if my medical condition isn’t listed? Am I still eligible for medical marijuana?
It depends on your state:
- Some states allow provider discretion in recommending medical cannabis, which can help patients whose conditions don’t appear on a rigid list.
- Some states have broader categories (for example, “chronic pain”) that may cover a range of underlying issues (like migraines, arthritis, neuropathy, etc.).
- Some states allow petitions to add new conditions, though the process and oversight agency differ by state.
If you’re unsure, the most reliable next step is speaking with a qualified provider who understands your state’s medical cannabis program.
