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.
VMCA, originally founded as VMMA reflecting the pejorative word "marijuana", was the first Veteran service organization designed to assist veterans with medical access to cannabis.{{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_veterans%27_organizations}} The organization seeks to make sure that the United States federal government allows Veterans access to medicines their doctor prescribes or recommends.
