“I first tried marijuana in the winter of 2014, and it was the only thing that stopped my nightmares and dark thoughts from my four deployments as a Marine in Afghanistan. The brain injuries I suffered during my career and in an IED blast in Marjah, Helmand Province, in 2010 meant I had to be supervised while cooking, I struggled to get out of the house and I had constant flashbacks. I was able to try it after an appointment with a U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) psychiatrist who broke the rules.” – Bill Bee
From Marijuana Moment, a leading weed website with tens of thousands of followers, we learned about former Marine Bill Bee (pictured here, 2nd to left, with his buddies in Afghanistan). In an op-ed piece Bill describes the nightmare his life was before he found medicinal cannabis. Bill Bee did four tours in Afghanistan and suffered several traumatic 
brain injuries. He was getting no relief from the meds the VA was prescribing and things were getting worse until he found a psychiatrist willing to break the rules and and get him medicinal cannabis. o. Bill Bee’s story first appeared in the Daily Mail (UK) website.
