New York legalizes medical marijuana

Worthless piece of crap as far as usefulness for stroke survivors.
The list for eligibility was significantly reduced during this week’s negotiations. Only patients with the following would be eligible for a medical marijuana prescription:
- Cancer
- Positive status for human immunodeficiency virus or acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV-AIDS)
- Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, or Lou Gherig’s disease)
- Parkinson's disease
- Multiple sclerosis
- Damage to the nervous tissue of the spinal cord  (This is as close to stroke we can get, as long as we consider the brain an extension of the spinal cord)
- Epilepsy
- Inflammatory bowel disease
- Neuropathies
- Huntington's disease

What should be available for us;
13 reasons to use it post-stroke. 

But then I'm just a stupid stroke survivor who obviously knows less than these legislators and governor Cuomo and whatever brilliant medical minds are advising them.
