Veterans in D.C. May Not Benefit From Medical Marijuana
The two conditions that hamper veterans most -- post-traumatic stress disorder and chronic pain -- are not qualifying conditions for medical marijuana in the District, according to the legislation as written.
Though the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs eased rules this summer penalizing veterans who use medical marijuana in those states where its use is legal, many -- if not most -- veterans in the District will not be eligible for medical marijuana.
"Between those two conditions, you're talking about the majority of trauma patients in the VA system [seeking medical marijuana]," said Michael Krawitz, executive director of Veterans for Medical Marijuana.
The current text of the law stipulates five conditions qualifying as ailments for which marijuana can be issued: HIV, AIDS, glaucoma, cancer, and multiple sclerosis and other conditions that cause "severe and persistent muscle spasms."
