Amendment Passes for Second Year Running, but Must Pass House before Becoming Law
Amendment Would Allow VA Doctors to Recommend Medical Marijuana to Patients in Medical Marijuana States
The Senate Appropriations Committee passed a bipartisan amendment today, 20 to 10, allowing Veterans Administration (VA) doctors to recommend medical marijuana to their patients in states where medical marijuana is legal. The vote is the second time the U.S. Senate has advanced this issue. The amendment did not make the final appropriations bill last year after narrowly losing in the House.
