As a vet and care giver I can tell you yes. 1st make sure its in your VA records. WA is a MMJ state and so you will not lose benefits. The VA can not recommend MMJ but they can prov you have exalted all other options. If you are moving to the Tacoma area Ask to be put on the Silver team. Gold team is for Iraq vets but they are all offices that are fresh out the military and do not handle MMJ to well but the silver team dose very well. But they will call you out on your bull shit if all your trying to do is get high.
