Veterans For Medical Marijuana Access
Veterans for Medical Cannabis Access (VMCA), is an Elliston, Virginia-based non-profit service organization designed to assist Veterans who wish to be able to use marijuana for medical purposes with a doctor's recommendation. VMCA works towards the freedom for Veterans to discuss the medical use of marijuana with their doctors without the risk of reprisal.

—Louise Lague (20th century)
