Veterans and “Medical” Marijuana

 
The cannabis cartel argues that marijuana can help our veterans who have PTSD.
 
The Veterans Administration disagrees. They say:
 
Cannabis use is increasing among American adults, and 38 states have now legalized some form of cannabis or its constituents for recreational and/or medical use. Some Veterans report using cannabis to relieve symptoms of PTSD, and several states specifically approve the use of medical cannabis for PTSD. However, research to date has produced insufficient evidence to support cannabis as a PTSD treatment, and some studies suggest chronic cannabis use can be harmful to individuals with PTSD. Given the legal changes and conflicting messages about cannabis and PTSD, there may be a lack of clarity for clinicians about how to address cannabis use among their patients with PTSD. This recording of a virtual, knowledge-based webinar targeted at healthcare teams will help bridge that gap by providing information about the prevalence of cannabis use and the types of cannabis products available, the relationship between PTSD and cannabis use, and strategies for addressing cannabis use among patients with PTSD in clinical practice

Has the "Medical" in Marijuana Qualified Pot for Rescheduling? - Parents Opposed to Pot

Medical Pros: Toke At Your Own Risk

Doctors say health concerns for pot are worse than we think. 4:51 PM, AUG 19, 2016, By ALICE B. LLOYD “Leaders in the health sector from Washington state and Colorado, where marijuana’s recreational use is widespread and often ineffectively regulated, know enough by now to take a step back and consider the ill effects. They presented findings and concerns on the health effects of cannabis Thursday afternoon at a National Academy of Sciences committee meeting in Washington, D.C. Dr. Leslie Walker, chief of adolescent medicine at Seattle Children’s Hospital, added her pediatric view to a Colorado public health official’s report of pot users coming to the ER with grave physical symptoms. “For kids, it’s actually not uncommon. We have a number of them in the hospital at the same time. It’s not just the long-term users,” she said. The disruption of a growing brain’s normal development is a heavy concern. Walker observed that research of particularly tragic cases has established links between schizophrenia and adolescent marijuana use. “People who use fifty times or more were much more likely to have a diagnosis of schizophrenia than people who had never used,” she said. “The other part which is concerning,” Walker added, “is there are poorer treatment outcomes when you compare them to adult users."

Marijuana Summit held in Cody, Wyoming April, 2017

Wyoming has yet to fall to legalizing “medical” marijuana. The reason why marijuana legislation remains not on the radar is because of education to some of the professionals who need to realize the harms from marijuana use. AMERICANS need to listen to why this state is WAY ahead of most other states- marijuana is NOT harmless, NOR benign. Powell Police Chief Roy Eckerdt said after this week’s summit, “The biggest key in the conversation you hear nationally is nobody has died from marijuana. And there is probably some truth to that. It’s the use of marijuana that creates the psychosis that leads into an event that causes the death, which is what I understand that event was.
