America loses an average of 22 Vets a day to suicide. PTSD is often treated with a myriad of pills. While many states have legalized medical marijuana, the federal government has not, so the V.A. can't recommend it.

This episode of Weediquette first aired on VICE TV in 2016. Weed laws in the US have since changed.

As a navy vet, i can confirm that weed helps with depression and anxiety. I hate the negative stigma and politics around it. I just donā€™t understand why it is not recreational in all states

Psychedelics did wonders in my life. Over the course of my life, I've suffered from uncontrollable, depression, anxiety, alcohol, smoking, and illicit pills addiction. Imagine carving heavy chains for a long time and then all of a sudden that burden is gone. This is something that really needs to be used globally to help people with similar health challenges. I've been sober for 6 years and have my life back.

iā€™m a veteran dealing with ptsd and weed has helped me a lot. iā€™m crying at the moment because i am fortunate to live in california, while my other battles live in states that donā€™t allow it. It should be prescribed to all ptsd patients

My husband has chronic pain. Cannabis helps keep him off opioids. He says something similar about Cannabis and the pain. It doesn't make it go away, but it dulls it and allows him to think of other things instead of just focusing on the pain. It saved his life and pur marriage. I now work for a Cannabis grow in Oklahoma.

I just lost a really good friend of mine whoā€™s a veteran that suffered from PTSD horribly for over 15 years. Same problem, given a ton of pills and nothing else. He suffered in silence and kept all of us at a distance from his struggles. On January 31st of this year he lost his battle with PTSD after coming home from battles in Iraq and Afghanistan. Broke the hearts of everyone who loved him. I blame the government and VA for abandoning him. This needs to change.

Goated post vice, my grandfather was a captain in the Marines & served for 16 years. He was denied healthcare assistance for over 20 years for his back pain until a lawsuit proved that his injuries were service related. He's turning 70 next month and can still outwork anybody in our family, he's a living legend!

After 20 years and several combat deployments, weed got me off opioids, adderall, SSRI's, and booze. My life is so much better. Big thanks to all of you that fought for me to have this medicine.

I'm a combat vet, and I had some pretty bad issues when I got out. The VA had me on some kind of blood pressure meds, Klonopin, Seroquel, and I was drinking like a fish. My marriage fell apart, and I was ready to give up. I moved, took a job that allowed me to smoke cannabis and the rest is history. Weed was a complete game changer. Thanks for covering this vice.

My brother is a vet with P.T.S.D but lives where itā€™s legal to smoke weed and it helps him completely and refuses to use the prescriptions because they donā€™t help.

My step-dad is a Canadian Vet. PPCLI. He injured his back parachuting out a plane in the 1990's, and was prescribed opiates for over a decade. He struggled for years just to function daily. They eventually gave him a prescription for cannabis, and he tossed the pills about 5 years ago now. He's a different man. There's so many benefits to it. I'm going on 3 years sober myself, and I don't know if I could have done it without cannabis.

This was very hard to watch. I am not a veteran but do live with PTSD. Over a span of 20 years I was prescribed anti depressants, anti psychotics, and stimulants for depression, anxiety, bi polar, and narcolepsy. PTSD wasnt suggested until several years ago by a therapist. After coming off all the meds and trying cannabis I felt alive and present for the first time since i was a child. I still have a lot to work through, but my children and wife have someone that is present and not in fight or flight at the drop of a hat. Cannabis can save so many lives. Thank you for this video. My love goes out to all who suffer from PTSD and their families. Our veterans deserve better.

There IS therapy. There IS help. The VA is no different than the military itself in that if you want it, youā€™re going to have to go get it. Youā€™re going to have to push for it. I, too, am a combat veteran and I, too, suffer from a lot of the same problems and issues. The alcoholism, the drug addiction, the benzodiazepines, the antidepressants, the anti anxiety medications, the terrible sleep, the handful of pills twice a day, the marital difficulties, and the suicidal ideation and attempts - all of it. I still have really bad days, but the VA assigned me a great psychologist and psychiatrist and, initially, I endured (?) intensive therapy twice a week for 20 months in order to survive MYSELF. Nothing and no aspect of VAā€™s care is without flaw, but each of us as veterans owe it to ourselves to make every effort to find that part inside of us that is the fierce warrior we once were on the ground and do battle - put in the real and serious work - with the ā€œthingsā€ destroying us from within. Stay in the fight, brothers and sisters, because YOU are worth it and worthy of it.

My dad was never a complete person due to an abusive childhood and Iraq only made it worse. After seeing all the meds he is prescribed by the VA, it makes me take a sigh of relief that I never made it past AIT. Cannabis and Psylicibin have shown to work with PTSD and the effects of war.
