Should a Vietnam veteran be denied pain pills after testing positive for marijuana?

Yes and No it seems though the VA has a valid point. about mixing Pain meds and Marijuana both are downers so it could cause problems. If he was denied because it counter acted with a prescription this would not be in the news. But since Marijuana brings ratings to news networks of course they will cover this and there will be an outcry for this Veteran. No i am not Anti Marijuana

I read somewhere that a man was tried in Canada over the use of THC to treat various diseases and he had a remarkable percentage of recovery rates. He was extracting the hemp oil and prescribing it in dose amounts; different doses for different diseases. He wasn't selling pot for people to smoke. The courts deemed that his treatment with the extracted hemp oil was of medical value based on the many testimonies and medical records of people with diseases and then proof of their being cured. I don't know if they continued to allow him to practice, but they didn't find him guilty. God put everything here for a purpose. it's up to us to use it correctly and not abuse it. Is the man benefiting from the use of it? If he is and there will be no adverse effects other than drowsiness, then he should be granted his meds. If the mixture of the two will cause serious damage then he should choose between the two based on which one is more beneficial in treating his condition. J.M.H.O.

Not to start a conspiracy, but watch out for the broad effect to end the lives of elders.  We're at a resource constraint, and extra weight being eliminated is a lightly outcome.

Well if not pea them well what can I say it I per joy no job, some states no,well fair. I can't say I have never smoked but I did when I was a late teen, the efcects on me were laughs and mellowed out, If laws states a regulation or rule them that is it.

No. A Vietnam Veteran should never be denied pain medication under any conditions. After all, his pain was most likely caused by doing service to his country!

no

There are always more details to elicit, but on the face of it, why even bring up Viet Nam? What happened to everyone else? Segregation has been used to divide and conquer us for decades. Enough already with stigmas. Why is the vet smoking? First questions first...then appropriate answers can be made.
