It needs to be clarified that the VA docs cannot participate in 'prescription' process. They can now just continue to treat their patients that have the authorization in a given state.

It is a huge step on the part of the feds. Primarily this affects patients that have pain contracts with their doctors. Now they do not have to worry about pee tests, if cannabis is present they still get the pain meds. A huge step. In other words, they will quit looking for it in pee testing across the board for vets.
