Schatz Reintroduces Bill Allowing VA To Prescribe Medical Marijuana To Veterans

Press Release

Date: April 19, 2023
Location: Washington, D.C.
Issues: Marijuana Veterans

"In 41 states and territories and Washington, D.C., doctors and their patients can use medical marijuana to manage pain or treat a wide-range of diseases and disorders, including post-traumatic stress disorder -- unless those doctors work for the VA and their patients are veterans. Our bill will protect veteran patients in these jurisdictions, give VA doctors the option to prescribe medical marijuana to veterans, and shed light on how medical marijuana can help address the nation's opioid epidemic."
