Medical Marijuana from the Perspective of a Wounded Veteran

Missouri National Guard Sergeant Chris Wolfenbarger (retired) talks about why he supports Amendment 2, one of three options on the November ballot, to legalize medical marijuana. Chris was medically retired for wounds received after being injured by a suicide bomber during his tour of duty in Afghanistan. He discusses why the majority of Missouri doctors, nurses, and patient groups support Amendment 2 and not Amendment 3. Chris said that Amendment 2 is also veteran-centric since revenue from medical marijuana sales will go to fund veterans’ healthcare services through the Missouri Veterans Commission. He also discusses why, as a patient, it gives him a sense of certainty and security that the medical community supports Amendment 2.
