I cannot recommend or condone this, but I am going to try. I've had every other drug that was supposed to help and in some cases did, and in others, were complete busts. Maybe it's time for a change.

Be warned... right now if the VA piss tests you and you pop, you lose any other meds you're taking and possibly your health benefits.

I live in a medical MJ state, and take no prescription medications, so the VA doesn't test me. However, I do work for a government contractor (for the VA in fact!) so I do still have to abide by federal regulations just like I did on active duty.
Otherwise, I may very well get a medical card and see if it helps me at all.

SSG Warren Swan is completely right. All the meds that helps with your anxiety, pain, insomnia, etc that are scheduled are taken off you and you are considered a Cannabis Abuser and they put it right on your records. I only use VA for my OSA supplies and see my docs outside. Once you are labeled by VA you are screwed.

SSG Warren Swan I have read some on the benefits, I still wonder why the government is so opposed to MJ, the only possible excuse/explanation I can come up with is it had medicinal values that big pharma doesn't want the population to know about or benefit from.
When I finally retire and am not subject to routine urinalysis I may look into a prescription. Between now and then Jack Daniels and I will continue our long term relationship.
