The Illinois Department of Public Health has expanded the list of conditions eligible for medical cannabis treatment to include endometriosis, ovarian cysts, uterine fibroids, and female orgasmic disorder. This marks the first expansion since 2019, bringing the total number of treatable conditions to 56. The decision, made after careful review and consideration of scientific analysis, aims to provide relief for individuals suffering from these conditions.
“Medical cannabis has been shown to offer an effective means of relief from a variety of debilitating medical conditions and symptoms,” said Vohra. “IDPH reviews petitions carefully using expert opinion and the most up to date evidence to make decisions that best serve Illinois residents. IDPH looks forward to working with our medical providers to ensure appropriate access for individuals struggling with these newly approved conditions.”
