Veterans Can Now Get Medical Marijuana; VA Doctors Can Now Recommend. Thanks to the new amendment passed by the Senate. The Veterans can now get medical marijuana in any states that allow the use of therapeutic cannabis. The Veterans Affairs (VA) doctors are now allowed to prescribe or recommend the use of medical marijuana to patients.
Per VA's policy, a veteran who reports marijuana use to their doctor cannot have his or her VA benefits taken away. But patients can have their treatments modified.. At the VA, patients who get narcotic painkillers must sign what's called an opioid pain care agreement.
