Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Petition Submitted to CDPHE

I can’t imagine anyone more worthy of public largesse than a veteran.” -Dr. Sally Satel, psychiatrist and expert on PTSD

Medical marijuana may soon be a viable medical option for veterans and others who suffer from post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in Colorado.  Thanks to the courageous efforts of veterans and supporters from across the state, Sensible Colorado and a retired Army Sergeant, submitted an official petition to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment asking them to add PTSD to the list of qualifying medical marijuana conditions.

At a press conference earlier, state Representative Joe Miklosi spoke in favor of the petition calling for a fair and objective review process from the CDPHE. You can view Rep. Miklosi’s comments by clicking here. You can also read coverage of this event by clicking here, here, and here.

Sensible Colorado also wishes to express our deepest gratitude to those veterans who traveled great distances to attend yesterday’s event! Thank you for your service and your support!
