Veterans are still denied access to the cannabis that could help them heal. Despite legalization across most of America, the VA clings to outdated federal law, blocking its doctors from recommending or prescribing marijuana. Lawmakers praise veterans in public while denying them the right to the medicine that works. The hypocrisy is staggering.
Legal cannabis earns billions while thousands remain locked away for the same plant.

From Florida’s ballot grind to Thailand’s backpedal and Germany’s retreat, the world talked reform while tightening control.
