Minnesota adds conditions to therapeutic cannabis program

Democratic Minnesota Senator Al Franken has promised to bone up on the law as his state liberalizes its cannabis policy.

Minnesotans suffering from autism and obstructive sleep apnea will be able to seek relief with therapeutic cannabis starting next July.
Health Commissioner Dr. Ed Ehlinger announced the additions following a state and public citizen review of medical research. Ehlinger selected autism and apnea due to "increasing evidence for potential benefits."

Petulant porker Pat Powers has kids going untreated for autism. No doubt his obesity exacerbates his sleep apnea, too.

Researchers recently published findings cannabis is an effective therapy for opioid use disorder.

Some Minnesota counties are suing opioid manufacturers alleging a decades-long campaign convinced doctors and patients that opioids were safe and not addictive.

An Iowa company will be the first in that state to develop therapeutic cannabis.
