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.
Before the new legislation, the Veterans Health Administration did not allow its physicians to discuss medical marijuana as an option for patients in states with medical cannabis laws, forcing veterans to turn elsewhere for guidance and the paperwork necessary to pursue treatment with the drug.
