Legion Survey Addresses Medical Cannabis

An independent public opinion research company conducted a nationwide survey about the opinions of veterans, their family members and caregivers on the issue of medical cannabis. The results of the survey are available online. The results are tied to the American Legion's continued efforts, under Resolution 11, to urge Congress to amend legislation to remove marijuana from Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act and reclassify it, at a minimum, as a drug with potential medical value. According to the survey, 92 percent of veteran households support research into the efficacy of medical cannabis for mental and physical conditions.
