Veterans Affairs committee  Okay, I'm going to try. I already forget half of your question. What I can tell you is that cannabis saved my life, for one. All the other opioids destroyed either my brain or some function, like speech. I had to learn to talk again, actually, after I was put on quetiapine, whic

Veterans Affairs committee  I completely disagree in the rehab aspect of things. I completely agree with the idea, but not the way it's going. What needs to be done first is a better education of the member prior to release. My integration to civilian life was a disaster—in the best case. I tried. I reall

Veterans Affairs committee  None of that nonsense.

Veterans Affairs committee  Yes, sir?

Veterans Affairs committee  All I'm going to say—because obviously, I'm no professional—is that, from my perspective, the pharmaceutical industry needs to be kept away from the natural state of the plant. There were studies showing that there was a synthetic version of THC which was created that cannot comp

Veterans Affairs committee  Yes. Actually, I don't drink—no more than you would, let's say. I'll have maybe a beer. I have no interest in it. A big thing to understand is that this is medication. This isn't for fun.

Veterans Affairs committee  I'm a walking psychopath, technically, so—
