A Vietnam veteran and career public servant is in a fight to get his job back at an exclusive military school after treating his cancer with cannabidiol (CBD), a non-psychoactive component of cannabis. 

Henry Cobbs, 77, learned last month he would lose his position as dean of academics, a title he's held for more than eight years, at the Air Force Special Operations School (AFSOS), for vaping a chemical that can’t get you high, but he says can help treat his prostate cancer.
