Veterans Affairs committee  I believe there are two separate streams, the recreational stream and the medical stream. I think the medical stream needs help to continue to move further down that road. Research is one effort that needs to take place. Obviously, the ability of pharmacies to dispense cannabis needs to happen, and insurance companies providing more robust coverage of cannabis needs to happen as well.

Veterans Affairs committee  Thank you. Good afternoon. Thank you for the opportunity to speak with you today. It's my pleasure to highlight my experience in helping veterans in a medical and professional setting as it relates to cannabis. First, it is important for you to know that I am not a veteran of the Canadian Armed Forces or a member of a first responder organization.
