How long until marijuana is legal in the military?

All that tax revenue is great.
Been legal in WA for 10 years. Military should... Been in use forever anyway.

I hope pot is Never allowed in the military, they have enough to deal with concerning alcohol.
Being high could cost lives. If you want to smoke that stuff get out of the service.

I also use indica meditionally. There’s a huge difference in how it affects me (compared to alcohol.) Unfortunately, there can be no studies done until the feds change the rules. It’s high time they did. (Pun intended.)

Never

All drugs do is change the way the brain receives pain signals. Instead of asking when or if the military will ever change and allow Marijuana, find an alternative source for pain control. I have been receiving acupuncture for many years through the VA. I was a helicopter pilot for over 30 years and have severe neck and back issues along with other injuries and accupuncture relieves my need for any other pain control for weeks at a time. My last need for prescribed pain meds was for a knee replacement last year.

Why in the Hell would the military want to legalize and make available a psychoactive drug that can impair judgement, affect your nervous system and slow brain function, and alter your perception of reality. The military has enough problems with Alcohol and all of its related functional impairments. Sometime in the "Far" Future, some liberal members of our Congress will probably legalize it. Hopefully, I will not be around to see this happen! The argument about lesser effect than alcohol may be valid. It's still an illegal substance and we should not give any consideration to legalization!

UCMJ Article 112a applies to use, manufacture, and distribution of prohibited substances. Use of this article with regard to marijuana won’t be changed until marijuana is downgraded to the same level of control at federal level as alcohol

Unfortunately, as long as it is still Federally illegal, it will be prohibited under UCMJ. As others have mentioned, though, several states (looks like 21 states + D.C. as of 2022) have made recreational marijuana legal. It's just a matter of time until it is removed from the list of Schedule 1 drugs.

Drugs have no place in the military, I understand that some may need it for health purposes, but just allowing it as recreational will create a serious problem. Example; using drugs while firing a weapon, driving a military vehicle with troops, fighting in a combat situation, and lastly spousal or animal abuse. Please the powers to be think about this seriously.

Alcohol and cigarettes are deadly in combat for the person using them. Marijuana is just another way to kill yourself in combat.
