Veterans Day: Texas Vets Fight for Medical Cannabis Legalization

Some Texan veterans are in the fight of their lives, as reported by Katie Matlack for Leafly. Possession of medical cannabis in the state is considered a crime. To push for legalization, a group of Texan veterans has started Operation Trapped. The said operation involves placing toy soldiers in pill bottles, which would then be presented at the Texas State Capitol.  According to the group, the toy soldiers are a representation of them being trapped by the strict medical laws in the state.

Joe Jenkins’ blog post for Human Rights First brings to light a new perspective on how we should view Veterans Day. The same level of emphasis on commemorating the many sacrifices veterans did should also be applied to uniting the country. As Jenkins’ says, “Our ideals about liberty and justice make us a beacon to the world. Our united, unwavering commitment to these ideals keeps us free. We are one nation, indivisible.”
