// Definition
A proposed US program modeled on Canada's Veterans Health Administration system, where 100% disabled veterans receive up to 3 grams of cannabis per day free of charge via a national app, delivered within 48 hours in any modality (flower, edible, sublingual, topical). The US Veterans Action Council advocates for a voucher system under 10th Amendment framework to supplement veterans' limited disability incomes for cannabis access.
// From the Episode
Etienne Fontan led 12 veterans in 26 meetings across Capitol Hill in 72 hours, targeting Veterans Affairs and Armed Services committees. They also advocate for medical cannabis designation on VA cards to prevent arrest in any state or federal property. Canada's program costs approximately $150 million/year funded by the government purchasing from licensed producers. The group uses the Canadian VHA as a model case, with Aaron Victory educating on Canada's system. The Israeli TBI nasal spray featuring cannabinoids was used as a key talking point with military fellows.
