Allow United States Disabled Military Veterans access to medical marijuana to treat their PTSD.
This is for Our Troops as well as Needy Americans

Modern research has proven what disabled Veterans have known for a very long time, Cannabis is an effective medicine. Veterans from the time of the United States Revolution through World War I had legal access to cannabis but in 1942 due to the efforts of a handful of powerful men cannabis was removed from the United States Formulary...

Marijuana works with this natural body system to ease the symptoms of PTSD giving disabled Veterans a big improvement in their quality of life. We owe our disabled Veterans our freedom, the least we should do is treat their pain and PTSD.

2. It's just too bad it's not possible to arrest people for forum posts.

5. Why
limit it to disabled veterans?

There are lots of other Americans who suffer from PTSD - including many first responders.

They to should be able to access effective treatments. Including medical marijuana.

So should those with glaucoma and those undergoing cancer treatments.
