Good thing we are already VA approved!!
A bill in the House and Senate would allow veterans to use medical marijuana in states where it is legal and would let the VA help them get it.
The “Veterans Medical Marijuana Safe Harbor Act” would “allow veterans to use, possess, or transport medical marijuana and to discuss the use of medical marijuana with a physician of the Department of Veterans Affairs as authorized by a State or Indian Tribe, and for other purposes.”
As of the bill's filing, 33 states permit medical marijuana use.
“This bill gives VA doctors in these states the option to prescribe medical marijuana to veterans, and it also promises to shed light on how medical marijuana can help with the nation’s opioid epidemic," Sen. Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii, one of the bill's primary sponsors, said in a statement. "In 33 states, doctors and their patients have the option to use medical marijuana to manage pain — unless those doctors work for the VA and their patients are veterans."
