    Describe the challenge you want to address:
    The thirty-five thousand veterans in the Bronx represent a significant portion of those who have served the nation, often facing various physical and mental health challenges upon their return. Many veterans suffer from conditions like chronic pain, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and other service-related ailments. Medical marijuana has shown promising results in alleviating symptoms and improving the quality of life for individuals dealing with these conditions. However, the financial barriers to accessing this treatment often impede veterans ability to benefit from these services.
