Petition updateFight For Those Who Fought For YouVA & CANNABIS – WHAT VETERANS NEED TO KNOW
1620 LegionTucson, AZ, United States
25 Feb 2018
"Some things Veteran need to know about marijuana and the VA: VA health care providers will record marijuana use in the Veteran's VA medical record in order to have the information available in treatment planning. VA clinicians may not recommend medical marijuana. VA clinicians may not complete paperwork/forms required for Veteran patients to participate in state-approved marijuana programs. VA pharmacies may not fill prescriptions for medical marijuana. VA will not pay for medical marijuana prescriptions from any source. The use or possession of marijuana is prohibited at all VA medical centers, locations and grounds. When you are on VA grounds it is federal law that is in force, not the laws of the state. Veterans who are VA employees are subject to drug testing under the terms of employment." These are the rules within the VA we are trying to change. Please contact the VA with questions regarding their cannabis policy using this email address ---> population.health@va.gov. Thank you for your continued support in this fight, together we win! -Rico
