Though medical marijuana has been legalized in many states, federal law classifies cannabis as a Schedule I controlled substance, which prohibits VA doctors from prescribing it.<\/p><p class=\"post_para\">Additionally, VA clinicians are not allowed to complete paperwork or forms that would enable a veteran to participate in a state-approved marijuana program.<\/p><h2 class=\"heading_all\">Will the VA Pay for My Medical Marijuana Prescription?<\/h2><p class=\"post_para\">Currently, the VA <a href=\"https:\/\/www.publichealth.va.gov\/marijuana.asp#:~:text=VA%20will%20not%20pay%20for,medical%20centers%2C%20locations%20and%20grounds.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><strong>does not<\/strong><\/a> cover the <a href=\"https:\/\/sanctuarywellnessinstitute.com\/blog\/how-much-is-medical-marijuana\/\"><strong>cost of medical marijuana prescriptions<\/strong><\/a> for veterans.

The VA has adopted policies that allow veterans to discuss their marijuana use with their VA providers without fear of losing their eligibility for benefits.<\/p><p class=\"post_para\">That said, VA healthcare providers are federally employed and cannot prescribe medical marijuana or complete paperwork for state-approved marijuana programs.

Though federal law prevents the VA from prescribing or covering the cost of medical marijuana, veterans are still <b><a href=\"https:\/\/sanctuarywellnessinstitute.com\/blog\/does-insurance-cover-medical-marijuana\/\">permitted to enroll in state-based programs<\/a><\/b> to seek relief. That said, it&#8217;s still important to be mindful of relevant state and federal laws and communicate with the VA so as to retain your benefits.<\/p><p class=\"post_para\">If you&#8217;re a veteran seeking to treat a qualifying condition with cannabis, look no further than the Sanctuary Wellness Institute.
