That makes sense to me Ken Kraetzer since marijuana is still illegal per Federal Law it would be foolish for any Federal Agency to attempt to thwart the law by providing what is illegal to VAMC patients.
By the way, I am a VAMC patient.

I think the VA is obeying federal laws. If the populace wants canabis legalized, push your Congress. BTW, a million out of about 330,000,000 isn’t even a plurality. If in depth medical studies prove it helps, legalize if.
