Arizona Gives Cold Shoulder to Returning Veterans

arizonaWhile it is usually a difficult time to be a veteran integrating back into civilian life, last week was especially difficult.  First the White House denied a petition to allow PTSD to be legally treated with marijuana.  The petition was signed by thousands of war veterans though the White House maintains there is not enough …continue reading

Marijuana.net Observes Memorial Day

memorial day

 

Most of us enjoy our barbecues and three day holiday weekends.  However, it often seems we can lose track of exactly why we have fired up the grill and cracked those cans of beer open.  The first (and often most fun) of the summer national holidays is here and Marijuana.net would like to take this time to do what was initially intended.

Memorial Day was created in order to remember the Union troops during the American Civil War and was originally known as Decoration Day.  While Confederates also had their own day for their soldiers, eventually it would all be combined for a federally recognized national holiday honoring all of America’s fallen troops.  With the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan still ongoing, as well as other military operations, we feel it is important that we take the time to think about all of those men and women away from home.

While we need to acknowledge our soldiers who gave their lives, some have returned from war still having paid too high a price.  We have spoken to so many returning soldiers who gladly gave everything they had only to return home to a social landscape that prevents them from seeking relief.  Cannabis has demonstrated a wonderful potential to alleviate returning soldier’s PTSD symptoms.  Reintegrating back into the society they sought to protect is not always easy and everything should be done to make their transition as easy as possible.  We also want to bring patient awareness as many can only enjoy the holiday fun because of marijuana’s ability to reduce pain and improve their quality of life.  Some can enjoy today’s barbecue because their nausea has dissipated while others may throw the baseball around because their joint pain has subsided.

Unfortunately, in this country patients are often engulfed in their own war.  As government refuses to respect state laws, patients often have to fight social stigmas, and closing dispensaries in their war for safe access.  Memorial Day was set up to remember soldiers, but we would like to expand that to anyone who is sick or struggling, as not all wars are fought with firearms.  Memorial Day has always been about solemn reflection and while it is absolutely appropriate to have some fun this weekend  we feel that the true spirit may have gotten lost in a sea of hopps, barley, and chicken wings.  We just ask that everyone take a second and raise the beer they are already holding up high, and make a toast to think of our returning soldiers, our elderly, our patients, and each other.

A persons psyche is delicate and it is frequently influenced deeply by distressing occasions.
