"There is limited but compelling evidence suggesting marijuana's effectiveness in treating post-traumatic stress disorder, epilepsy, addiction, chronic pain, and cancer. Members of our veterans community have courageously told their stories of struggles with opioid addiction and depression, and they have consistently advocated for the VA to allow discussion of medical marijuana between doctors and their patients. In Congress, I'm working with a bipartisan group that includes veterans on both sides of the aisle to pass the Ending Federal Marijuana Prohibition Act (HR 1227).
