To the Honorable Members of the Iowa State Legislature,

Veterans across Iowa are facing significant barriers to accessing the healthcare they need, particularly when it comes to obtaining medical marijuana cards. Many veterans live with chronic pain, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and other service-related conditions that medical marijuana has proven effective in treating. However, the financial burden of registration fees adds unnecessary stress and prevents many from pursuing this vital option for relief.

If these fees remain unchanged, countless veterans will continue to suffer without affordable access to medical marijuana, potentially worsening their health and quality of life. Conversely, reducing the registration fees by 50% would provide much-needed financial relief and demonstrate Iowa's commitment to honoring its veterans by ensuring they receive the care they deserve. This initiative would make a meaningful difference for those who have already sacrificed so much.

Now is the time to act. Dr.Weedy is already committed to supporting veterans  by offering discounts and simplified access to medical marijuana cards https://dr-weedy.com/medical-card/iowa/ We see firsthand the positive impact such measures can have. Iowa has the opportunity to lead by example and show its gratitude to its veteran community. Let us work together to remove financial barriers and improve access to life-changing treatment for those who served our nation.
