Can Medical Marijuana Help Alleviate Some Of The Pains?
I am in Oregon a Vietnam Nam veteran with80% service connected disability. I have PTSD, coronary artery disease. I also had an accident, broke ribs front and back on my right side and collar bone. Now have metal plates across them. I have recurring skin cancer, pain in my ribs, muscle cramps. I am wondering if medical marijuana would be helpful and if I would possibly qualify? Thanks...
