Petition Obama White House to Allow Veterans Access to Medical Marijuana to Treat PTSD

Marijuana works with this natural body system to ease the symptoms of PTSD giving disabled Veterans a big improvement in their quality of life.

Don't they earn the right to decide for themselves?

(WASHINGTON D.C.) - Salem-News.com urges everyone in favor of Veterans' use of medical marijuana to sign the below petition and make your voice heard.

This is a subject we indulge frequently and our esteemed writer, Dr. Phillip Leveque, who helped Oregon establish its medical cannabis laws, says the passage of rules to safeguard the rights of those who served will allow more Veterans to live longer and avoid the dangerous, addictive drugs that the U.S. government actually forces Veterans to take, in order to keep benefits.

The idea of a government forcing Veterans to become addicted to heavy morphine-based drugs is obscene, in fact it is stupid and wrong.

The language that follows is from the official petition, the link to the page where you sign the petition is below.

We petition the Obama administration to:

Allow United States Disabled Military Veterans access to medical marijuana to treat their PTSD.

Modern research has proven what disabled Veterans have known for a very long time, Cannabis is an effective medicine. Veterans from the time of the United States Revolution through World War I had legal access to cannabis but in 1942 due to the efforts of a handful of powerful men cannabis was removed from the United States Formulary.

Modern science has shown us that the human body makes it's own cannabis like substances called cannabinoids and that these cannabinoids are shown to be involved in various functions throughout the body like pain and anxiety.

Marijuana works with this natural body system to ease the symptoms of PTSD giving disabled Veterans a big improvement in their quality of life. We owe our disabled Veterans our freedom, the least we should do is treat their pain and PTSD.
