Why Medical Cannabis?
Life after service can bring unique challenges that are hard to manage. Fortunately, medical cannabis may help ease symptoms of PTSD, chronic pain, anxiety, and insomnia, among others. For many veterans, it also provides a natural option instead of other prescription drugs. Our staff is here to help you find the right products for your needs.

After the Massachusetts Medical Use of Marijuana Program approves your application, you will get a temporary Patient ID that you can print at home. Shortly after, a permanent card will arrive by mail.
