Cannabis is still federally illegal. If you’re in the VA system it’s dicey.
I’ve had the VA for health care for decades and have tested positive for THC for that long also.
I’m currently back in the Ann Arbor VA system, my doctor there said to me when I asked for medical clearance needed for getting a card that she couldn’t help out with that…federal laws.
She mentioned that if she was private she would authorize the card in less than a heartbeat.
Plus since I test positive I cannot get a VA prescription for narcotic pain meds, I can get them if I’m hospitalized…but otherwise, no. This isn’t a big deal for me because I can use cannabis, I hate the feeling of pain medication.
Now that we’re legal in Michigan why bother with a card, I’ve always wondered if it had a benefit I’m missing.
