Amendment Will Allow VHA Doctors to Recommend Medical Marijuana to Patients in Medical Marijuana States
Amendment Already Passed Senate Appropriations Committee, Will Likely Become Law Later This Year
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The House passed a bipartisan amendment today, 233 to 189, allowing Veterans Administration (VA) doctors to recommend medical marijuana to their patients in states where medical marijuana is legal. The vote already passed the U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee, but narrowly failed in the House last year. The amendment will likely now make the final spending bill.
