So you either want to help those with PTSD or you want to make pot a felony.
Why would any legislator who voted to send kids off to war, want to deny the Vets something that helps them cope with PTSD?
Whatever happened to San Francisco's Sixties Folk Hero, Sgt. Sunshine?
Things are getting more and more convoluted. (I.e. "It's weird, man!") A Democratic Senator from Louisiana helped the Democrats prevent funding for building the XL Pipeline; now she is urging passing the bill so she can get re-elected.
If the solution for the PTSD problem is to permit the vets access to pot, it will be an example of uber-irony. The soldiers who went away to war will become pot smoking hippies while the anti-war protesters become supporters of proper treatment for the wounded warriors.
The pot smoking vets will, essentially, be getting on the bus a bit late but on the bus none the less.
Doing the fact checking to authenticate the assertion that pot is a very effective means of assuaging the effects of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder would take a lot of work and so the World's Laziest Journalist will leave the "heavy lifting" journalism work to the pros of the mainstream media and since the conservative media owners are not likely to want to aggravate other staunch Republicans, that means the Vets will have to wait until something better comes along.
Meanwhile, the Republicans who were always urging passage of funding for the XL Pipeline will be glad to see that the Dems, who have been left behind on the issue, have found their way back onto the bus and, next week, will be welcomed to get onboard the Pipeline bus, just like in the Biblical parable of the Prodigal Son.
