The board will be responsible for reviewing petitions received from Illinois residents. For the addition of debilitating medical conditions to the current approved conditions list. The group will conduct a public hearing for reviewing petitions. They will review previously accepted conditions. They will also recommend the approval or denial of each petitioner’s request within 60 days of a public hearing. Our medical marijuana consulting firm are experts when it comes to the policies surrounding medical cannabis programs.
There are 15 member positions available on the board, including: one medical cannabis patient advocate or designated caregiver; two nurses or nurse practitioners who work with medical cannabis patients; three registered qualifying patients (to include one veteran); and nine healthcare practitioners with current professional licensure in their fields (one per field).
