A recent national report highlights that 57% of U.S. veterans support the recommendation of medical marijuana by VA doctors. The report from Mission Roll Call reveals the growing desire among service members and their families for access to alternative wellness options as many turn to cannabis for relief from chronic pain and PTSD. Structurally, the VA remains restrictive, not allowing its healthcare providers to prescribe medical marijuana despite its legality in many states, leaving veterans underserved and seeking costly alternatives.
the VA's policy on cannabis is not only outdated but also burdens veterans who seek alternative pain relief options, often pushing them to seek expensive outside care.
the growing support among veterans for cannabis indicates a crucial shift in perception, emphasizing the need for the VA to align with changing laws and veteran needs.
