Vets with PTSD sue Colorado for blocking medical pot prescriptions

The plaintiffs include four war veterans and one victim of sexual assault who filed the suit on Wednesday and asked that a judge overturn the Colorado Board of Health’s July decision.

All of them self-medicated by smoking pot for their trauma and were prescribed additional drugs for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). All five of them say medical marijuana has relieved their symptoms more effectively, and with fewer side effects, than the prescription drugs.
