John,

With medical marijuana legal in most states, more veterans than ever before are eligible to use cannabis therapeutically.

Unfortunately, many find it difficult or impossible to gain access to these life-saving programs because doctors within the Department of Veterans Affairs are prohibited from officially recommending medical cannabis to their patients.

This might be about to change.

Members of the House and Senate have included provisions in their respective chambers’ military spending bills to finally allow VA doctors to recommend medical cannabis in states where it is legal. However, it is possible that this necessary reform could end up on the chopping block when lawmakers negotiate the final legislation.

It’s happened before, and it could happen again.

This Veterans Day, tell Congress to help alleviate the suffering of those who served by improving their ability to access medical cannabis.
