On Wednesday, the board’s Medical Marijuana Committee met and voted to reject petitions that did not meet requirements and confirmed petitions members believe should move forward for review and public comment.
The medical board received 27 petitions late last year. In all, 18 proposed conditions failed to meet statutory and rule requirements for consideration, the committee said.
Among the conditions rejected: being a fan of the Cincinnati Bengals or Cleveland Browns.
The committee will make recommendations to the full board for a vote to adopt or deny a proposal as a qualifying condition. A full board vote is expected this summer.
The Bengals emerged from the 2019 season with a 2-14 record. The Browns finished with a 6-10 record, third in the AFC North. Before the season, some observers thought the Cleveland team could maybe make it to the playoffs, two years after going winless in the 2017 season.
