There is an epidemic of veteran suicide in America. It's a tragedy that we lose one veteran almost every hour of the day. The numbers are even worse here in in West.

We all have a part to play to prevent veteran suicide. Whether it’s volunteering for the prevention hotline or Congress prioritizing the needs of our veterans, rather than cutting critical programs to reduce taxes for people like Donald Trump.

I’ve heard from countless vets that medical marijuana is critical to giving them relief they need. In states like OR where mmj is legal, it’s outrageous that Congress prevents VA from working w/ vets who could benefit.

States that have legalized mmj prescribe fewer pills & have much lower overdose death rates. We’re not going to stop fighting until our veterans get equal access to mmj!

Blumenauer you don't care about vets. You're only exploiting them to further your legalization agenda. There is ZERO science to say that using a psychoactive drug is effective for treating a neurological condition.
