Veterans around the country are calling on the federal government to reclassify marijuana to reflect its medical value. They say they use the drug to treat conditions from pain to post-traumatic stress disorder.

I am for this. I know it sounds crazy to dsome folks but military aside, I watched my dad, a cousin, and three people on my wifes side die from painful cancers. If I could have gotten my hands on some marijuana I would have rolled them a big ole fatty if it would have helped their pain. I can see the use for Veterans as well especially with respect to PTSD.

If there are any weapons in the house, they'd have to go to a relatives, that's how I got my .50 cal. Hawkens rifle, niece couldn't have it at her moms house, because her stepdad was on medical marijuana, no weapons at all.

SFC Shirley Whitfield - true, but it's rifles, shotguns, and handguns, that couldn't be in the house.

Not so crazy. Went through all the ads about benefits of legalizing medical marijuana when it was up for vote in Florida. Seems to me the benefits far outweigh the stigma associated with marijuana.

All for it — benefits for migraine which is suffered by so many Veterans — some studies say more than 36% of post-deployed Veterans. That's a lot of people suffering. What I notice is that if the PTSD doesn't budge, neither does the migraine and vice versa. PO3 Tammy Rome what do you say on this?

I'm for it. Lots of opium based drugs are legally available, so why not marijuana based drugs? For those who say but marijuana is illegal I'd counter with so is opium.
