I am a bit leery of this.  yes the VA is allowing TRIALS, this does not mean you can start going to the shrink and asking for a dispensary card.  This will be a limited study, and i can guarantee the results will be either "inconclusive" or will be 10 years, 20 years down the road (and will probably read like this) "more testing is necessary to establish the efficacy of this treatment option for the general population of Veterans suffering from PTSD and other mental trauma".

I am willing to put quite a few sawbucks on this, the VA will not allow weed for treatment for a very long time, and even if they do will be a pharmaceutical concoction of active ingredients they identify as helpful, they will never ever ever start allowing the smoking or ingestion of the plant, only its ingredients in a pill.

Hey USMC_VET, have you ever seen the movie Pineapple Express? The first few minutes parody MJ trials from decades ago. I bet the VA trials will be similar.
