Veterans Administration (VA) to Approve Medical Marijuana Use for Disabled Veterans

Posted By Dr. Sean Breen on July 27th, 2010

It has been a long time coming for United States Veterans who are in need of medical marijuana to treat their symptoms.   It has been VA policy that patients who have admit to using marijuana to treat their ailments would not be approved for benefits of other treatment modalities.    Because of the overwhelming numbers of veterans who suffer from PTSD, difficulty sleeping and chronic pain the government finally approved the medicinal use of marijuana.

This decision is near and dear to my heart.  I am a combat veteran and served with 1st Battalion 4th Marines in Iraq from Jan-Sept 2003.  I have been on the battlefield and know exactly what they are going through.  I have seen both Marines and Navy Corpsman take bullets for their country and am honored to have this opportunity to give back and take care of them.

I currently see patients full time in Long Beach (next to VA hospital) and Irvine  for medical marijuana recommendations. I have had more than a handful of veterans come in despite the VA’s old stance on medical marijuana.   They are my most rewarding patients for personal reasons.

It is time for these veterans to get a good nights sleep, stop their opiate dependency and reduce their dependence on benzodiazepines for their anxiety.

To make an appointment to come in and see me simply call my staff at 877-721-0047 or contact us through my website at www.mcsocal.com

Semper fi,
