The legislature’s Regulations Review Committee approved the addition of eight new conditions to the medical marijuana program on Tuesday.
The eight conditions apply to all adults, but only two are allowed for those under 18.
There are currently 27,340 patients in the medical marijuana program, 953 certifying physicians, nine dispensary facilities and now a total of 30 conditions approved for adults and eight for patients under 18.
Lora Rae Anderson, spokeswoman for the state Department of Consumer Protection (DCP), said the approved regulations will now be submitted to the Secretary of the State’s office and that the regulations will go into effect once the secretary of state posts them.

Seagull in a statement. “I want to thank our Board of Physicians and the committee for their thoughtful consideration of these conditions. I continue to be proud of the careful way that our program has expanded, and its commitment to a true medical model.”
