VA clarifies care access for veterans in state marijuana programmes

VHA Directive 2010-035 said participants in state medical-marijuana programmes must not be denied VHA services. It retained bans on VA recommendations, supply, reimbursement and possession on VA property. It did not create cannabis dispensing in VA clinics.[1][2][3]
