I very good friend of mind died about a decade ago. He was in the recognizance unit of the Special Forces during the Vietnam conflict. He made a number of trips across the demilitarized zone and he was suffering from Agent Orange.
For decades VHA refused to recognized ailments from Agent Orange. He suffered from a number of skin and lung ailments over the years after the war. Eventually he had cancer in his internal organs. He hated the morphine pump given to him. Rather he enjoyed the THC benefit greatly and he and his wife was arrested a number of times for having pot.
The small PA. community he was living in recognized his illness and developed a bad taste for the local police and VHA. The community continue to help him out despite the laws. He was the kind of guy everyone love. The police knew this and were very upset with the community in supporting this habit. They eventually gave up watching his house. They have better things to do than pick on a decorated veteran.
Today, he would have better care as THC is legalized for medicinal purpose and VHA recognized Agent Orange as a carcinogen.
