Veterans and Medical Marijuana

We think veterans have earned the right to use medical marijuana. Do you?

A famous musician once sang, “All gave some and some gave all and some stood through for the red, white and blue and some had to fall, and if you ever think of me, think of all your liberties and recall; some gave all.”

No one deserves more of our liberties and our respect than our veterans. Generations of brave souls laid their lives on the line so we can enjoy liberty, prosperity and the privilege to pursue happiness.

We honor those who lost their lives for us every time we vote, enjoy liberty or exercise our responsibility to care for the wounded, the orphans and the widows. There’s an old saying, “If you won’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything.” We think it’s time we all make a stand for the Veterans for Medical Cannabis Access (VMCA). We shouldn’t take our liberties lightly, or we jeopardize loosing them. There is not a better time for you to get involved and help promote this important American liberty.

Veterans for Medical Cannabis Access (VMCA) fight for veterans’ rights to access medical marijuana for therapeutic purposes. Veterans for Medical Cannabis Access is working to preserve and protect the long established doctor and patient relationship including the ability to safely discuss medical marijuana use within the Veterans Affairs healthcare system without fear of retribution.

In 2012, the Veterans for Medical Cannabis Access has petitioned the President to legalize medical marijuana access, to help victims of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and also to protect many veterans who lose their Veterans Affairs Department medical coverage if they get caught medicating with marijuana.

The irony is that 18 states and even the District of Columbia allow marijuana use for medicinal purposes, but it remains illegal under federal law. The President and his administration elected to ignore the overwhelming scientific evidence proving marijuana is a safe and beneficial herb.

As the fight goes on, government-protected medicine (Big Pharma) gives Washington billions of dollars to keep marijuana from veterans. Get more involved, whether or not you are a veteran or a medical marijuana user.
