Veterans Affairs Minister Julian Fantino has yet to decide the future of his department’s medical marijuana program, including whether the benefits the government provides veterans should be capped.

A proposal to do so has been in front of Fantino for just over a month. The department recommended setting upper limits for veterans who are on the pot program of five grams per day and $9 per gram.

Only a handful of Canada’s veterans receive help from the government to pay for medical marijuana: about 188 in the last 12 months, according to Veterans Affairs. But it is almost triple the number of veterans in the program in 2012.

A cap could become another flashpoint between the Conservatives and veterans who feel the government isn’t taking care of them.

“With the changes, if they do go through, it’s not going to affect the old veterans because they’re not using marijuana. It’s the new veteran that’s using it. If they do come in with these caps, it’s major anxiety,” said retired corporal Ryan Edwards, who uses marijuana for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and pain from a back injury.
