House Republicans Say No To Marijuana For Veterans...

[Dschrute3]

Come on Republicans, just when i thought you were actually making some progress. Now you go and do this to our Vets. It's time for the GOP to join the 21st Century. Gotta stop being the 'Party of angry old White Dudes.' Some of our Vets live in constant pain. If Marijuana can help ease that pain, let's allow them to have it. We owe it to them.


Republican lawmakers have blocked a vote on a bill that would have allowed Veterans Affairs doctors to recommend medical marijuana as a pain treatment in states where the drug is legal.

The House Rules Committee stopped a proposed “Veterans Equal Access” amendment from moving to debate on the House floor by keeping the measure out of the House’s proposed VA funding bill for next year.

The sponsor of the House provision, Rep. Earl Blumenauer, D-Ore, said he was “bitterly disappointed” that his amendment was sidelined.

“This is a subject that has gained a great deal more attention and momentum,” Blumenauer told McClatchy. “More people recognize that the VA has really failed our veterans when it has come to pain management, opioids and opioid dependency."...

were i worked in the PO there were vets from WW2,Korean,Vietnam all the way to Iraq....most of them,not all, but most of them had nothing good to say about either party.....the consensus seemed to be that when they got discharged neither party helped much if they had medical and homeless issues....

Warmongers love sending folks off to die or be maimed, but they hate having to take care of them and their families. Once they're no longer of use to them, they forget them.

They want the government to pay for their pot? A few years of service and free pot for life.

Such a deal. We really are turning into a nation of worthless drug addicts.

the "expert" has shown up....now she will tell us she knows about how people coming home from a war really feel and what really ails them....

Yeah, that's a very cold-hearted approach to our Veterans. If you're willing to send them off to die or be maimed, you should be willing to listen to them and their doctors on what's best for them. That mentality is why i truly despise Warmongers. They love sending folks off to die and be maimed, but they hate taking care of them and their families. It's pure evil.

many critics of Veterans are people who have never served,but they sure as hell have no problems judging them .... there is nothing like someone who has never done what you have done,telling you they know more about it then you do.....

Angry old white dudes are all about trying to force their "Morals" on others. Most are fundamentalist religious assholes. They go to church on Sunday, and then treat their fellow Americans like shit on Monday. But of course they see themselves as 'Good Christians.'

And they fully support Big Brother being up in folks' business. They're far from the 'Small/Less Government' advocates they claim to be. Their 'Small/Less Government' talk, is only talk. They're every bit as Big Government as Democrats are.

Some people claim it is about not harassing Persons with Doctorates in Medicine, about practicing medicine.

If the government is going to pay for drugs for addicts, aren't just as many veterans alcoholics? Will the government pay to keep them in booze too?

I could less what angry old white Neocon Republican jerks think. They're still living in the dark ages. We should listen to our Veterans and their doctors instead.

Just the visit for the prescription for, "medicinal alcohol".

Typical stupid angry old white dude analogy. Y'all should just STFU and listen to our Veterans and their doctors.

We all need to keep in mind that Big Pharma and the adult beverage industry fear MJ, do not want the competition and the members of The Congress are always beholden to those who write big check in even years.

Don't bother. You're dealing with an average Neocon Republican jerkoff. They love sending folks to die and be maimed, but they hate taking care of them and their families. He or she expressed what they really think about our Veterans... 'A buncha dirty alcoholics and drug addicts.' Remember that, next time you observe em pretending to care about our Vets.

FUCK angry old white Neocon jerkoffs!

Doctors still oppose Marijuana unless they have invested in a phony clinic where the doctor will write a pot prescription for bad hair days. Veterans would love it if they could get their booze and whore bills paid by uncle sugar.

Oh please. No one gets sent to die and be maimed. If you don't want to play, don't go. We have an all volunteer military. Stay home and pay for your own dope.

Better than being an alcoholic drug addict pretending that two years in the military gets free drugs for life.
