H R 3584, the Veterans Cannabis Analysis, Research, and Effectiveness CARE Act #veterans #military

DAV supports H.R. 3584, the Veterans Cannabis Analysis, Research, and Effectiveness (CARE) Act. This legislation would require the VA to conduct and support research on medicinal cannabis for treating veterans with PTSD, chronic pain, and other conditions. Please contact your Representative and urge them to co-sponsor and support H.R. 3584 today: http://dav.la/hr3584.

Currently veterans are able to talk about their cannabis use with their medical provider, however, VA clinicians are not permitted to provide veterans recommendations or prescriptions for medical cannabis.

Our nation’s veterans deserve access to the most effective treatments and therapies available, including alternative options available under the law. Therefore, it is imperative that Congress and VA support safe and effective innovations for the purpose of delivering new evidence-based treatments to improve veterans’ health and quality of life.

We ask that you contact your Representative and urge them to co-sponsor and H.R. 3584, the Veterans Cannabis Analysis, Research, and Effectiveness (CARE) Act.
