Head of military school fired for using marijuana extract to treat cancer

It's something we need to address sooner rather than later. The VA can prescribe all sorts of "legal" drugs that get Veterans hooked on opioids while a man with prostrate cancer is in violation of a law when he's in another state. It just ain't right!

SSG(P) (Join to see) I don't think the Army needs to get with the times as much as they need to separate Medical from Recreational use. My personal feeling it that I am against its recreational use completely. I am completely in agreement with its medical use when the doctor and patient are in agreement and it is monitored it is a great thing.

My brother who pasted away from Agent Orange would have greatly benefited from its use. I have a brother-in-law who is paralyzed from the waist down whose does suffer and it his quality of life is assisted by its use.

Ummm how am I tagged to something I never read or commented. But since I am here. The Army has standards and standards of care. Be careful of the choices. Regardless if it may be a better option.
