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.
Yesterday, the House Rules Committee approved an amendment to a military spending bill that will finally allow VA doctors to recommend medical cannabis in states where it is legal.
The House of Representatives is holding a hearing on this bill today, and your elected officials need to hear from you in support of this amendment.
Tell your Representative to help alleviate the suffering of those who served by improving their ability to access medical cannabis.
