In general the VA follows the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The FDA was established by the federal government to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of drugs (The VA is not set up to do that). If the FDA approves marijuana for some medical use then the VA would be very likely to provide it to patients.
