'GOP Presidential Candidate Ramaswamy's Veterans Plan Includes Marijuana And Psychedelics Access To Treat PTSD' - MarijuanaMoment
Portfolio Pulse from Benzinga Newsdesk
Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy plans to remove federal restrictions on marijuana and psychedelics for veterans with PTSD if elected. He supports descheduling certain substances and has criticized federal prohibition on marijuana. Despite this, he voted against Ohio's state-level legalization due to conflicts with federal law and concerns over federal power overreach. His stance has been seen as inconsistent, especially with his proposal to expand the DEA while reducing other federal agencies.
