Although medical marijuana is legal in 29 states and DC, some powerful forces are working against it.  And for veterans hoping to find relief from PTS, chronic pain and the opiates, this could be bad news.

While 2018 has barely begun, there have already been some shocking developments: 

  • VA Secretary, Dr David Shulkin, sent a letter to Congress claiming they CAN'T research Medical Marijuana. Is that true?
  • Attorney General Jeff Sessions vowed to strictly enforce existing Federal drug laws. Will that hurt our Veterans?  
  • And legislation attempting to re-classify marijuana seems to be stuck on hold.

In the latest VetStory podcast, we aked some tough questions to find out who is lying ... and who is just blowing smoke.
