DEA CANNABIS RESCHEDULING

PUBLIC COMMENT VIEWER

Here is a random public comment on the rescheduling of cannabis to Schedule III from an anonymous commenter.

I am a combat veteran OIF03. When I got back to the states. I had numerous medical issues. Traumatic arthritis throughout my spine, and PTSD for just a couple issues. Went through the VA. And they pushed the pills and wound up having me zombie for about six years. I wing myself off of the pills moved to Arkansas to where it was legal. I’ve been a cardholder for four years now. I use it as a medicine not to get high. I do not share with anyone else I treated as a medicine. I got in trouble with the law misdemeanor. And on probation now. But since I am on probation, and my medicine is a schedule one drug I am not allowed to utilize it for my health. Until I’m off probation. I’m having a very difficult time with the pain. I have also quit alcohol. Been sober now over a year. The marijuana helps with my PTSD issues. As a veteran and person that does not want to be on pharmaceuticals I ask please to reschedule marijuana. So I am many others like me can have their medicine and be free from pharmaceutical drugs that causes more harm. Thank you
