Being a fan of one of the two NFL teams based in Ohio has been a miserable experience lately, but apparently not miserable enough. A proposal from a long-suffering fan to have Browns and Bengals fandom qualify for Ohio’s medical marijuana requirement was rejected on Wednesday.
The Ohio medical review panel failed to approve the proposal from Cincinnati resident Vincent Morano, a Bengals fan who graciously included the Browns fans into his motion. After considering the proposal, the board rejected the claim that being a fan of the Browns and Bengals qualified as serious enough of a disorder to allow for medicinal marijuana relief. It was one of several rejected proposals.
This only impacts Browns and Bengals fans living in Ohio. Several surrounding states have approved recreational marijuana in recent years.
