Veterans to March on Washington DC
Attention all veterans!!! Are you able to be in Washington DC Saturday morning? We march to protest the Department of Veteran Affairs in hopes to raise awareness that vets should be granted access to cannabis as a safer medical alternative. The studies are out and available. Politicians and VA administrators just need to open their eyes and read. Enough is enough over the calls for more research. It’s time to demand they look at the over 300+ studies already available.
Where can you find these studies you ask? A great place to start could be NIH.gov.
How many vets will be hurt or worse before we get the Veteran Affairs administration to admit we can combat our issues that veterans face day in and day out?
This weekend veterans throughout the country will be gathering to demand changes to help our country’s finest. Advocates from all walks of life will muster for the plants over pills initiative. You’re damn right Dabbin Dad will be there! Come join us, the comradery doesn’t end when you seperate. No one will take more care of our vets better than their own. It’s time to support and listen to our veterans.
According to the Veteran Cannabis Project
The United States faces a significant challenge in effectively treating veterans’ combat and non-combat related healthcare issues. The number of military veterans suffering from internal wounds has reached epidemic proportions. Estimates show post‐traumatic stress affects up to 20 percent of active service members. Between 2000 and 2014, over 300,000 service members were diagnosed with some form of Traumatic Brain Injury. The effects of combat-related stress and prolonged deployment cycles can be devastating, and they manifest differently across individuals and families. Recent studies estimate that an average of 22 veterans commit suicide every single day.
The Department of Veterans Affairs was neither prepared nor equipped to address, prevent or combat these problems leaving veterans with limited and inadequate treatment options. Veterans and service members face long delays for intermittent, ineffective care, and are often placated through “cocktails” of prescription drugs, including powerful and addictive opiates. The current arrangement is not meeting veterans’ healthcare needs. However, there is one major healthcare treatment option that veterans are turning to in increasing numbers, even as the VA is unable to talk about it: cannabis, also known as medical marijuana.
