A study published last month in the journal Clinical Therapeutics examined the use of medical cannabis among 510 U.S. veterans and found that 91% reported improved quality of life as a result.

The survey of 510 U.S. veterans found that 38% reported chronic pain, 26% suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), 9% reported having anxiety, and 5% suffered from depression.

67% of veterans in the study reported using cannabis daily, with 30% indicating they consumed the drug to reduce their use of over-the-counter medications, including antidepressants at 25%, anti-inflammatories at 17%, and other prescription medications.

Additionally, 91% of the veterans reported improved quality of life due to medical cannabis use, and 21% said they had reduced their usage of opioids as a result.
