Also, ironic is how we are in Afghanistan, fighting manufacturers of opium/heroin and hashish, and then giving it to our wounded vets for treatment. Would that be considered a conflict of interest?

Perhaps we should turn Afghanistan into a huge VA treatment facility. What could go wrong?

No. Grow it in the US. No conflict of interest. There is some evidence that it helps. As rubberneck pointed out Opiates are prescribed as it is.

Sure we all know what will happen as we all know that there are freeloaders/frauds within the VA system. Including WWII era vets and everything inbetween. But if it helps those who truly need it. Why not?
