ST. PAUL, Minn. – Irritable bowel syndrome and obsessive-compulsive disorder are two of the 19 different medical conditions that now qualify for medical cannabis in Minnesota.
Office of Medical Cannabis Director Chris Tholkes said research shows cannabis can help people suffering from these conditions.
Tholkes said patients can get certified through a health practitioner.
“They will enter that into our patient registry and then you are sent a link to go ahead and register for the medical cannabis program,” Tholkes said. “As of July 1st, there is no longer an annual fee of 200 dollars. It’s now zero to participate in our program.”
Enrollment in the program is now free in Minnesota.
Patients can buy products at dispensaries beginning in August.
