Marijuana May Soon be an Approved Treatment for PTSD in Rhode Island
The Rhode Island Senate Health and Human Services Committee is contemplating legislation that would allow post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to be treated with medical marijuana.
The bill, introduced by Democratic Sen. Stephen Archambault, would add PTSD to the list of debilitating medical conditions that qualify for medical marijuana treatment. The legislation would also allow patients who are eligible for hospice care to receive an expedited approved medical marijuana use application. [1]
