About the Event: The University of Maryland School of Pharmacy’s (UMSOP) Medical Cannabis Student Association is excited to host a screening of the documentary Unprescribed.

Imagine surviving the battlefield, returning home, and then losing yourself to a pill bottle. For countless veterans, this is a daily reality. Directed by Air Force Veteran and MCST student, Steve Ellmore, this film confronts the devastating cycle of the "combat cocktail"—the heavy pharmaceutical regimens historically prescribed for Post-Traumatic Stress and Traumatic Brain Injury. Unprescribed offers a tangible, science-backed way out, following veterans who are reclaiming their lives by transitioning away from opioids and finding genuine relief through medical cannabis.
