Im a disabled veteran just diagnosed with PTSD from the VA. For all other veterans : when you have a primary care appointment, the intake nurse will take u in and get ur vitals and ask u questions, 1 one the questions is " do you have or suffer from depression or anxiety"? I said yes and then the scheduled me for a PTSD evaluation in BLDG 1. I told them my war stories and they agread I had PTSD and that it would state so in my medical records. I then attended 5 PTSD group sessions, got copies of my new medical records, called Dr. Nardacci up from the back of the Alibi for a medical marijuana patient evaluation. I showed up with my new VA records to Dr. Nardacci's office off 2nd street, they reviewed my records and asked some basic question like," have i ever used marijuana before and did it help"? I said yes and he approved my paperwork, made copies, made me up a addressed envelope to Santa Fe and off went my application in the mail, certified that is. 4 weeks later I have my patient and grow cards. Sooo for veterans it might take us some time to accomplish these tasks but it can be done if patient and persistant with the VA ! U may contact me for further assistance at olliegrow at yahoo....later new mexico....
