Empower Veterans Who Want to Use Medical Cannabis

Veterans have passionately stated that medical cannabis has helped them tackle some of the most pressing war injuries veterans face such as PTSD and Traumatic Brain Injury. Eighty-eight percent of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA) members surveyed support the additional research of medical cannabis. Policies are outdated, research is lacking, and stigma persists. IAVA has set out to change that and launch a national conversation underscoring the need for bipartisan, data-based solutions that can bring relief to millions, and recently sent a letter to the Department and the Drug Enforcement Administration calling for the reclassification of cannabis. But to be successful, we need YOU to support our advocacy. Urge Congress to cosponsor and work to enact the bipartisan VA Medicinal Cannabis Research Act (S. 326/H.R. 1003) that states that the VA can conduct research into the efficacy of medical cannabis as a treatment for veterans with chronic pain, PTSD, and other conditions.
