People with various health problems or mental illness rely on certain medications sometimes. Others rely on weed. ( or well, marijuana.) Whether the pills don't work, can't take them, or they don't want to flood their bodies with pills, some people look toward medical marijuana. In some states to get a medical marijuana card you need to do certain requirements to get a card, and then have something along the lines of a terminal illness, debilitating disease, certain types of arthritis etc. Or certain mental illnesses. Although every state is different some states allow the use of marijuana for things also such as PTSD, or very severe migraines. (Such as Illinois.) Some states do not allow it for anxiety or many other issues because they claim it is "too broad of a topic". I want to help change this. I want to expand and broaden the list of what they allow medical marijuana to be used for in the state of Illinois.
Medical marijuana is helpful to many people with certain illnesses, diseases. Etc. Regardless if they're physical, mental, etc. According to marijuana laws, usage, and what not medical marijuana can be used for terminal diseases, migraines, certain types of arthritis, and PTSD (along with another slur of things.) here in Illinois. Upon further research into it, medical marijuana can NOT be used for depression, anxiety, diabetes, or even autism here in this state. Govenors and other state officials declined the use for anxiety because the topic is too "broad". It can't be used for diabetes because "there is no evidence that it lowers blood sugar levels". The list goes on and on. Well, I want to change that. I want to make medical marijuana legal for people to use with anxiety issues/disorders, more illnesses, and physical illnesses as well. I want to broaden the list for people in pain and in need to get the help and relief they deserve. I don't want the list of what it can be used for to be so limited. When I mean expand and broaden I really mean it!
