For as bad as the elections were for many Americans, it was a great election for marijuana. And today, Nov. 11, is Veterans Day. So what better way to celebrate both marijuana and the military than to watch these veterans get stoned.

Some veterans are turning to video games to help deal with post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD. But others—like the three veterans in the video above—are turning to marijuana.

The video was made by Cut Video, who also made that hilarious video of the three grandmothers smoking weed for the first time. After describing PTSD, the three vets are given a bong about a minute and a half into the video. Then they all take rips. After a few minutes, the group is pretty stoned, and describe themselves as "happy" and "relaxed." One veteran says of his PTSD, "It's not as much of an issue right now, I find."

Ten minutes later the group is given a blunt, which they proceed to pass around. Fifteen minutes later the group gets hooked up with munchies, including pizza, popcorn, chips, and brownies. Later, the group of stoned vets plays "Never Have I Ever." 

In the end, the vets seem to be at peace with their situations. "I feel safe, which is great. I enjoy that feeling," one veteran says.
