What else is new right? Well, the Washington Post<\/a> chose former Airman Amy Rising to represent the former military people who are now pot heads in order to influence the VA to pay for their pot;<\/p>\n

Every morning, former Air Force senior airman Amy Rising makes breakfast for her second-grader, drives him to school and returns home to prepare what she calls her medicine.<\/p>\n

She suffers from severe anxiety after four years working in the frenetic global command center at Scott Air Force Base in Illinois, providing logistical and support services for bombings and other missions in Iraq and Afghanistan.<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

Although Rising did not serve in Afghanistan or Iraq, she said the pressure of her work was intense. \u201cWhat was really hard about working in command was never being able to see the damage you did on the ground,\u201d she said. \u201cYou start to think about all the orphans and widows you created, and that you do hit civilians.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, sure. I’m not saying that there isn’t a legitimate purpose for the use of marijuana to treat brain injury victims or maybe PTS, I’m not a neurologist, but I can spot a malingerer correctly 10 out of 10 times, and that’s what I’m thinking Ms. Rising does for a living. It does take a measure of courage to try and use such a weak story for her “severe anxiety”, though. <\/p>\n

She reminds me of Wayward Bill Chenglis<\/a>, the pot advocate in Colorado who pretended to be a Vietnam veteran who needed marijuana to treat his PTS from being a clerk in Germany.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
