The American Legion is one of the largest veterans organizations in the United States, and they’ve really hammered the federal government this year to allow soldiers access to medical marijuana. And while they haven’t made much progress yet, another veterans group is joining the cause as well.
AMVETS, another of the largest veterans groups in America, announced their support for soldiers’ access to medical marijuana. They made the announcement on Twitter and included a video defending their support.
The most important aspect about veterans jumping on the medical marijuana bandwagon is how it will affect Republicans. The GOP loves to promote itself as the party that supports the troops and veterans, but denying them the right to medical marijuana could cause people to see them as hypocritical. If these people put their lives at risk for the country, why wouldn’t we give them the access to a perfectly safe medical treatment?
But it remains to be seen if all these veterans uniting for medical marijuana will actually cause any politicians to change their minds.
