Let the man have his weed.
The government tells people to fight for them but doesn’t want to heal them when they get back 🤔🤔 really bothers me.
That oil looks awful
Head shot wound is it ok to use
He has a beautiful daughter i wish he was my father in law i would smoke with her dad daily!
If veterans want something give it to them no one else has a say
Legalize this shit fr bro… y’all be thinking everything is bad in the world “ oh shit a drug” not in my state head ass
I had a serious drug addiction weed has helped me not die from being dependent on xanax used to take 300 pills in 14 days
Hey Trevor bro .you need to move to the PNW. OREGON, WASHINGTON. WE HAVE MMJ LAWS HERE PLUS PLACES AS A PATIENT U CAN GET YOUR MED $👎
My brother was also a vet he was givin a script for mmj by a V.A DR. here in Washington.
I use mmj and they know it n I still got my pain patches.
So come on out bro.
A fellow vet.
Doctors aren’t here to helps us. They’re here for $$$
Yooo he smokin straight pesticide OG 💀💀
The opioid stats that you used are 15 years old, come on. You couldn't do any better research on the stats. That's really slack.
He takes some fat rips off that pen. What a legend
"Why you gotta fill us full of pills." Well said.
“ marijuana has replaced most of his meds” That’s the reason right there it’s not federally legal. Cause of those damn pharmaceutical companies and their profits. They are evil. All
They care about it money. Vote to make this plant legal. Plants have healing properties
2 years later and Texas is still locking up Veterans and tearing apart their families over cannabis
Hang in there brother. Canadian Veterans get. So you will. Thanks for your service. Facebook, please look up Bryce Hooper. Canadian Army Veteran. Paul.
medical yes, recreational no.
I have little respect for these researchers who study this plant. People have been using it for thousands of years with no harmful effects. It has been legal to use medically in a few states since the early 2000s. Yet you still need to study it? If you haven't come up with some conclusions by now, you are just trying to keep your job. We have endless upon endless studies. Will at least one researcher out there have the guts to just declare it safe to use if you have post traumatic stress. The only thing you need to study is how much of a dose to use at the minimum level, since it is still somewhat costly to obtain legally in any of these stores selling it. For whatever reason you have the widespread use of vape smoking devices and there has basically been no meaningful study of that at all, as far as I know, in regard to long term use. Yet, the vape products has seen a faster acceptance by everyone, for whatever the reason, then even this harmless plant. In fact, you could make the argument that vaping nicotine is much more harmful, so why has it been allowed to be in widespread use.
This is just sad…
I feel heavy
The main culprits behind the war on drugs would be Nixon and Reagan. Those dumbasses ruined our Nation. I don't see why they'd be any more right about Marijuana compared to any other issue they dealt with.
now lets deny alcoholics, smokers and diabetics medical treatment because they "are doing it to themselves" and let them "die off"..
i wonder if people would still approve of it?
Weed is great for depression, anxiety, sleep, etc. Thank the big pharma hookers in Congress for lobbying against its legalization.
Do study in Colorado or Michigan
I’m a vet and I support this message… cough
!
Do someone knows who did the paintings on minute 6:06?

Me before smoking medical marijuana. Sitting alone, not talking or interacting with my wife and 2 kids, feeling disconnected from everyone. Me after smoking medical marijuana. Smiling, playing with my children, talking to my wife, getting out of isolation, feeling happiness. Yea it works. Legalize it federally.
I am in this piece, Trevor is a friend. We are still waiting for legalization. Nothing has changed, the opposition within the GOP is just as strong. We still need help here.
Just fucking legalize it.
The VA wants me to take paxil trazodone and hydroxyzine. I have smoked weed daily for 12 years since I got out. It sucks that I spend 600 out of poket on weed a month. Thankfully NYS legalized weed. I am going to see if Medicaid will pay for it.
Kratom would definitely help our veteran's!!
Having a healthy clear mind brings back the self-confidence which is regretfully lost. Whether it's based on fear, or simply to return to your old self, being mentally strong and healthy is something else. Maybe a method, like the one mentioned in Nemery Thentel’s website can help you achieve just that.
I'm trying to figure out how talking about this in a doc would make any difference? Made any difference before? The problem isn't convincing anyone, we all know it works and is safe…the problem is money…you have to be the one with the most money, to get something….thats the real world we live in….
My bf and I are both Veterans and it helps us immensely with joint pain, ptsd and anxiety.
I'm still on team legalize weed before the lunchbreak.
Thats why pharmaceutical companies are afraid of cannabis & fight to not legalize.
In states where Veterans can get medical marijuana, those that do also get a letter in the mail and raided by the BATF to have any guns seized without due process and just compensation. "…enemies foreign and DOMESTIC!"
proud of our veterans, fighting the good fight!
I'm a vet (USMC) and the VA had me on opiods for years, I started smoking weed and am no longer needing
In a previous segment you Guys interviewed someone who tried to go legit for the production of weed, having already invested a ton of money in a building, but the lack of progress in legislature was bleeding him dry, paling the way for High-capital investors. Who wants to bet the day the legislature passes, dozen of those corporaties pop up and begin to offer ‘quality product’ to the MilitaryPower their veterans…
Every 65 minutes… sad to see our elected officials pumping pills and bud light. How will you stand in the day of judgment? Do your eyes grow weary looking into the mirror each day
Absolutely ridiculous how we create barriers to a 100% legitimate, legal and all-natural medical solutions for our own vets. THC (what gets you high), and smoking "weed", is not necessarily what is needed to assist. CBD has shown to help with those dealing with chronic pain and PTSD. I for one will do my part. I have a national pharmacist formulated CBD products company and will gladly provide a 20% discount on ANY of our products. In addition, we will also make a donation on EVERY ORDER to the America Legion. We are the nation's only pharmacist owned, pharmacist formulated and THC Free company and only mention that because that is why we are trusted by the nation's pharmacy and medical community. If you are a VETERAN dealing with any chronic pain, taking "meds" and PTSD, reach out to us at info@pharmacanna.us. Let us know you are a vet and we'll coordinate your discount. To learn more about available products go to http://www.pharmacanna.us
Our police force has more important things to put their efforts towards
Within an hour an executive order can be signed to remove marijuana from schedule 1
Our representatives aren’t serving the public they are serving an abomination within the policy. Resist the devil make reforms. Cannabis has clear medical benefits.
Our veterans urgently need medical attention and the VA is failing them. I’m ashamed at this abomination within our governments policy.
These people have it in their hearts to go and serve the nation. They have the determination to protect and serve the civilian population. With a sense of urgency our armed forces will charge into conflict with the intention of doing good. As a student of the gospel it is my great joy to teach the truth. The scheduling of cannabis is a disregard of truth by our government officials.
