TAKEN FOR GRANTED:  People Making Decisions in US Dept. of Veterans Affairs are NOT Doing WHAT IS BEST FOR VETERANS!

After the tragedy at the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, TX; which involved an ex-Air Force enlisted man (26 yr old Devin Patrick Kelley) who had a history of mental health issues, the people in charge of the US Department of Veterans Affairs have shown their Wisdom-In-Action by suggesting that doctors improve communication with veterans about the benefits of Marijuana, but without recommending it. This includes states where it is Legal.

This is the same kind of Gestapo thinking that resulted in Mr. Kelley’s horrible deeds. There is no way that the Air Force didn’t know Kelley had mental health issues; he was in their jail/prison for one year.  Those adults and children could still be alive if the US Air Force would have notified the FBI of Mr. Kelley’s issues, or given proper medical treatment to Mr. Kelley; possibly even Marijuana/CBD’s.

Research findings have just been published suggesting that CBD (Cannabidiol) is effective as an Adjunctive Therapy in Schizophrenia; you can check out The American Journal of Psychiatry online if you want more details.

Maybe if more of us read & wrote to our elected officials we would have fewer sorrows and longer, healthier lives shared with those we loved & lost.

Death is the end. Life is all that we can influence.
