Support H.R. 667: The Veterans Equal Access Act (medical marijuana)

Help Veterans Access Medical Marijuana

Millions of veterans across the country are suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other wounds of war. But doctors at the Department of Veterans Affairs are not allowed to help them seek medical marijuana, even in states where it's legal.

It’s cruel and unacceptable to deny courageous veterans access to medicine that could help them cope with serious injuries and chronic conditions. Tell your member of Congress to support the Veterans Equal Access Act and finally allow VA doctors to recommend medical marijuana to veterans in the states where it’s legal. 

Support H.R. 667: The Veterans Equal Access Act.

This new bipartisan legislation led by Representative Blumenauer (D-OR), would finally allow VA doctors to recommend medical marijuana to veterans in states where it's legal. 

At a time when even the U.S. Surgeon General is saying "marijuana can be helpful," it's time for VA policy to catch up.
