Michael Geib, an Army veteran from Carlisle, showed WHTM the handful of pills he takes every day.
The pills are prescribed to Geib through the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Lebanon so he can deal with pain, diabetes and PTSD.
“I’ve been on so many other types of medications,” he said.
Geib, a former sergeant, spent 10 years in the service including time in the First Gulf War. On Monday though he took some time to play with his 5-year-old granddaughter Antasia.
Geib hopes medical marijuana would ease some of his symptoms and give him more play dates with his granddaughter.
However, because he’s on VA medical coverage it appears there is more suffering ahead.
“I know several veterans through the country that do have it,” Geib said in reference to medical marijuana. “But they have doctors outside the VA that prescribe it.”
In a statement through the veterans affairs office, the Lebanon VA acknowledged they won’t prescribe medical marijuana to patients on VA coverage.
