House Vote Could Make Medical Marijuana Even More Accessible for Veterans in West Virginia

Veterans with qualifying conditions in West Virginia already have access to medical marijuana through the state’s medical program, and thanks to a new vote in Congress, getting certified could become even more seamless for those who rely on VA doctors.

In June, the U.S. House of Representatives approved an amendment that would allow Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) doctors to recommend medical marijuana to patients in states where it is legal. This is welcome news for the thousands of veterans who use medical marijuana to manage conditions like PTSD, chronic pain, and more.

A Step Forward for Veterans’ Health

For years, federal law has prevented VA doctors from recommending medical marijuana, even in states like West Virginia where it is medically legal and regulated. 

The House’s vote to remove this restriction is a promising step forward, as it would allow veterans to speak openly with their VA providers about medical marijuana without having to navigate separate systems. The amendment now moves on to the Senate for consideration.

Veterans Already Have Options in West Virginia

Here in West Virginia, veterans don’t have to wait for federal action to access the relief they deserve.
