US Democrat Senator Jacky Rosen has announced her co-sponsorship of the Veterans Medical Marijuana Safe Harbor Act, which would allow doctors at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to prescribe medicinal cannabis to veterans in the 36 states which have established medicinal cannabis programs.
The act would create a temporary, five-year protection for veterans who use medicinal cannabis and would direct the VA to research how the treatment could help veterans manage chronic pain and reduce opioid abuse.
