Started in 2021, No More Zombie Veterans is an Australian veteran-led signature petition/campaign fighting the Australian Government and Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) to approve safer endocannabinoid based treatments for veterans suffering from treatment-resistant Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).

Many veterans (and last years Royal Commission), have found that traditional pharmaceutical mental health treatments fail to work and in some cases, can cause serious side effects, impact quality of life, and increase the risk of long-term harm and death. Legally prescribed Medicinal cannabis works with our body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS) which science shows is the body’s key regulator of stress, memory, emotional balance and more. Studies show the ECS helps to improve sleep, reduce anxiety, erase traumatic memories and support emotional regulation.

Despite overwhelming evidence, the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) refuses to approve legally prescribed medicinal cannabis for veterans treatment resistant PTSD or TBI. Veterans Affairs are being advised by experts (who do not acknowledge or understand the endocannabinoid system (ECS), that there isn’t enough evidence to show MC is a safe and effective treatment.

Despite overwhelming evidence, the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) refuses to approve legally prescribed medicinal cannabis for veterans treatment resistant PTSD or TBI. Veterans Affairs are being advised by experts (who do not even acknowledge or understand the endocannabinoid system (ECS), that there is not enough evidence showing MC is a safe and effective treatment.

This decision leaves veterans (and their families) stuck long term on proven ineffective (and often harmful) treatments that make their condition worse over time, all in direct contradiction to DVA’s legal responsibility to provide safe and effective care for those who have served.

Our campaign aims to change this by encouraging policy reform grounded in science, clinical experience, and compassion.

The campaign calls for:

• DVA to approve medicinal cannabis for veterans with treatment resistant PTSD and TBI,

• DVA to promote the many benefits of endocannabinoid focused health for our veterans.
