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 of Representatives have approved key military budget legislation containing an amendment introduced by Congressional Cannabis Caucus co-chairs David Joyce (R-OH) and Brian Mast (R-FL) allowing VA doctors to recommend medical cannabis to their patients in states where it is legal, and we need your help to convince the Senate to do the same.
