[Medfinder]

GOP lawmakers stripped an amendment from a bill Wednesday that would have allowed doctors in the Department of Veteran Affairs to recommend medical marijuana to veterans for pain treatment in states where it’s legal, McClatchy reported.

they are idiots, this would help to reduce over all medical cost. it's proven that weed makes folks need less other medications.

Just remove the "S" from the "https://" I've seen a lot of https links lately that don't act like they have a valid certificate, not sure why. I can only guess that the domain name doesn't match the certificate, but the person posting the link got to the page through a different URL that was then redirected to the URL that they post. But if you just want to see the page, just remove the "S".

That’s part of the problem. In some people’s minds those words are taboo.

the worst part is that if they still use it secretly, they risk losing their coverage from what i read a while back. this seems extremely harsh imo. it's like don't take the one thing that will keep a lot of depression under control, reduce the needs for expensive meds with horible side effects and generally increases peoples empathy for each other. real sick to forbid the vets the one thing that might actually help them, specially with coping with shit like ptsd. to do this now after all the medical weed programs are proving the benefits is plain criminal towards the vets.
