While there are a lot of conditions that would qualify you for medical pot (I would qualify), I notice they prohibit smoking it. Just oils and extracts. And patients cannot grow their own plants. A little odd, but a step in the right direction.

We are getting such a patchwork of laws in the various states, it's time for the feds to fucking wake up and pass at the least medical marijuana on a national basis. And get it off of the drug schedule you damn-near-worthless idiots. Congress truly is the opposite of progress today.

details of the PA law here.

The medical conditions covered by the bill include:

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Autism
Cancer
Crohn’s Disease
Damage to the nervous tissue of the spinal cord with objective neurological indication of intractable spasticity
Epilepsy
Glaucoma
HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) / AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome)
Huntington’s Disease
Inflammatory Bowel Syndrome
Intractable Seizures
Multiple Sclerosis
Neuropathies
Parkinson’s Disease
Post-traumatic Stress Disorder
Severe chronic or intractable pain of neuropathic origin or severe chronic or intractable pain in which conventional therapeutic intervention and opiate therapy is contraindicated or ineffective
