Dear Supporters,

Thank you for signing the petition to protect veteran medicinal cannabis access.

Your signature is part of a growing movement demanding evidence-based policy for veterans managing chronic pain.

We wanted to share something with you.

Recently, we presented at the United in Compassion National Cannabis Conference, breaking down exactly what the new DVA Medicinal Cannabis Framework means for Australian veterans.

Watch the full presentation here: https://vimeo.com/1170135806/3a9fac2186

What's covered:

  • Why the new restrictions make access impossible for many veterans
  • The prescriber supply crisis and geographic barriers
  • Clinical data showing 77% pain reduction and opioid cessation
  • How Australia is doing the opposite of international best practice (like Canada)
  • What veterans are actually experiencing

Your signature helps amplify veteran voices demanding that policy be grounded in clinical outcomes, not administrative assumptions.

If you haven't already, please share the petition with fellow veterans, family members, or anyone who believes veterans deserve evidence-based healthcare:
