Take Action to Help Add New Qualifying Conditions to Minnesota’s Medical Cannabis Program

Anxiety, sickle cell disease, and tic disorder are three conditions which negatively impact Minnesotan’s every year. During difficult and stressful times like the COVID-19 pandemic, more people are reporting increased levels of stress and social anxieties.

Join us in urging Governor Walz and the Minnesota Department of Health to expand the state’s Medical Cannabis Program by adding anxiety, sickle cell disease, and tic disorder as qualifying conditions. Together, we can make a real difference and help many Minnesotans gain access to natural, plant-based medicine and the relief they need!

Research has shown that medical cannabis can reduce anxiety in patients suffering from other qualifying conditions, such as PTSD. While certified to treat other symptoms including chronic pain, inflammatory bowel disease or seizures, research found that secondary symptoms such as anxiety were often among the first symptoms to improve with use of medical cannabis. Improvements among patients being treated with medical cannabis are rarely accompanied by any side effects.

Please take 60 seconds to send Governor Walz and Department of Health Commissioner Jan Malcolm an email urging them to expand the Medical Cannabis Program’s list of qualifying conditions. And, if you feel comfortable doing so, please personalize your message so they understand why you feel so strongly about expanding the medical cannabis program.
