UPDATE: The Associated Press changed its original story several minutes after our report was published, now saying the two deaths cannot be confirmed to have been caused by synthetic cannabis oil and adding that the figure 33 hospitalizations in Utah is closer to 40 but addresses the public, not military.

(ANTIMEDIA) — Despite sustained effortsfrom military veterans to gain access to cannabis for treating PTSD and other combat-incurred conditions, the federal government, military, and Veterans Affairshave failed to grant them their freedom.
Though countless veterans say the plant helps ease their ailments, cannabis remains illegal at the federal level (in a recent concession the VA now allows its doctors to discuss the potential treatment but not to prescribe it).
Nevertheless, some veterans and soldiers still use it, and some active-duty troops have ended up vaping synthetic cannabidiol (CBD) in their pursuit of relief. CBD is a nonpsychoactive cannabinoid that is proving to be useful in treating everything from anxiety to epilepsy, and a twelve-year-old girl from Texas who suffers from a seizure disorder is currently suing the Department of Justice for her right to use it in her home state.
But in a public health alert issued this week, the Army disclosed that “Approximately 60 patients with medical conditions potentially related to vaping products marketed as containing CBD oil have been seen at Womack Army Medical Center, Fort Bragg, NC, and the Naval Medical Center at Camp Lejeune, NC.” .."
Yup, NO access to the real AND natural Rx but access to synthetic Rx .. US government is NOT a veteran's friend.
