U.S. House Representatives recently introduced a bill called the “veterans equal access act” which would allow doctors of U.S. veterans to prescribe medical marijuana.  Studies show that soldiers suffering from post traumatic stress disorder or PTSD experience a 75 percent decrease in symptoms when using medical marijuana.  It can be used for many ailments including pain control, nausea, anxiety and wasting syndrome.
