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.
In recent years, vets who use marijuana medicinally have been thrown out of VA pain management programs as drug abusers after testing positive for marijuana. This policy shift will provide some solace, but only to those vets residing in states where medical marijuana is an option.
