VA Secretary Urged To Give Vets Access To Medical Cannabis

(Washington, DC) — A group of congressional lawmakers is urging the Biden administration to allow veterans to have access to medical cannabis. In a letter to VA Secretary Denis McDonough, the Cannabis Caucus asks for the VA to grant patient access to cannabis to help manage issues such as PTSD, multiple sclerosis, and seizures. The group notes cannabis could help VA patients more than the average population, as they’re more likely to suffer from chronic pain issues as well as opioid abuse.
