If you would read the details, it doesn't give VA docs the ability to prescribe medical marijuana in States where it isn't already allowed anyway...

It's basically lip service that doesn't actually mean anything. Like most Congressional acts.

No, but it is a good start and good for veterans that live in states where medicinal is legal.

Then you have this boneheaded Republican...

One of the Republicans in opposition, Sen. Mark Kirk, said that there’s no shortage of veterans already intoxicated. For Kirk, passing the amendment would mean forcing a 60s culture on veterans.

It's just a matter of time and you know it. And you'll like it.

I know I'm encouraged.

I wasn't sure this had been fully approved quite yet. Are there no hurdles left?

I believe the spending bill it is apart of needs to get passed now.

As I stated in another thread, this is basically...effectively...meaningless.

VA docs still can't prescribe medical weed, they're just allowed to talk about it. As if they weren't already.

If they knew ANY of the vets I know personally, they'd know medical marijuana is already in regular usage.
