Gov. Phil Murphy announced Tuesday several immediate changes that will allow the state’s medicinal marijuana program to expand far beyond the 18,500 patients who are enrolled now. The biggest change: people with specific kinds of chronic pain, anxiety, migraines and Tourette’s syndrome may ask their doctor to recommend them to the program.

Here’s a quick look at what’s changed and how it may affect you.

Q: What are the medical conditions that qualify a person for the program?

Before Tuesday, and still in effect:

• Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig’s disease);
• multiple sclerosis;
• terminal cancer;
• muscular dystrophy;
• inflammatory bowel disease including Crohn’s disease;
• any terminal illness with a prognosis of less than 12 months;
• seizure disorders including epilepsy, intractable skeletal muscular spasticity, post-traumatic stress disorder and glaucoma qualify if traditional medicine has failed;
• Severe or chronic pain, severe nausea or vomiting and wasting syndrome caused by HIV/AIDS and cancer.

Since Murphy’s announcement, these were immediately added:

• Anxiety;
• Migraines;
• Tourette’s syndrome;
• Chronic pain related to musculoskeletal disorders, which include rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, fibromyalgia and opioid use disorder;
• Chronic pain affecting internal organs, such as pancreatitis, irritable bowel syndrome, and neurogenic bladder and bowel dysfunction.

Q: Can I simply walk into a dispensary now and get medical marijuana?
