Abbot ducks medical marijuana talk with Texas veterans quoting : News-Journal

Veterans long ago found marijuana was an effective treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder, traumatic brain injury and chronic pain, Bass said. These are all Texas veterans and many of them voted for Governor Abbott. Bass said he wrote the letter in May in hopes of setting up a Veterans Day meeting in November. The vets aren't the only conservatives having difficulty arranging a meeting with Abbott to discuss medical marijuana. The office had not responded to an email asking if Abbott received the letter and why he did not meet the veterans.

Iowa Republicans divided as new medical marijuana legislation introduced
