Created by C.F. on November 07, 2012

As it stands an Automatic General Under Other Than Honorable Conditions for Serious Misconduct is the penalty for one time use of Marijuana while in the Armed Forces. An OTH is otherwise similar to the punitive Bad Conduct Discharge. Meaning no benefits without cheating.This is punishment for seeking alternative treatment, to mental and physical conditions caused by exposure to combat conditions.Soldiers who have already made the sacrifice of deploying and doing an otherwise honorable job, are being forced out and into the civilian population without benefits because of an antiquated and automatic charge. After being denied the ability to seek treatment, to access legal means, soldiers often seek alternative means in the way Marijuana to ease the stress caused by the trauma of combat.
