WV Veterans for Medical Cannabis
The United States Senate passed a funding bill in November of 2015, ending the prohibition of medical cannabis at Veterans Administration (VA) clinics. The FY2016 Military Construction and Veterans Affairs Appropriations Bill permits VA doctors to recommend marijuana to their patients in states where medical cannabis is legal. The problem is, West Virginia is not one of those states, despite majority support among our residents. We ask that the WV Legislature grant equal access to treatment for veterans in our state.
Veterans make up over 167,000 of the state population, or over 9%! It is time for West Virginians to stand up for our veterans. Join us in writing to our legislators and ask them to pass a bill for Medical Cannabis in the 2016 session!
We are taking a three-pronged approach to attack this issue. We are going to petition the WV Legislature; we are going to write letters to our state representatives and the leadership; and we are going to hand deliver both of these during a protest at the WV State Capitol Building on Tuesday, January 26th 2016 at 1000 hours while the legislature is in session. Sign up to attend the protest and learn more by following the link to the event below!
