Veterans for Medical Marijuana Access (VMMA), is a Kalamazoo, MI-based non-profit organization designed to assist veterans who wish to be able to use marijuana for medical purposes with a doctor's recommendation. VMMA works towards the freedom for veterans to discuss the medical use of marijuana with their doctors without the risk of legal ramifications.

VMMA was the first organization designed to assist veterans with medical marijuana. The organization seeks to persuade the United States federal government to allow access medical marijuana.
