Many Cannabis Brands Are Busy Supporting Veterans

These companies are asking for donations to help veterans access legal medicinal cannabis.

Far too many military veterans don’t have legal access to medical cannabis since the plant is still widely illegal across the nation. Even though countless studies suggest that there are promising effects of cannabis use for PTSD and other mental or physical health symptoms, there still seems to be a negative connotation with the plant that does wonders.

Many veterans seek access to reliable, safe, and legal cannabis, and shockingly, they can still face criminal charges for improving their physical and mental health with the plant. Battling these disheartening stigmas are many veteran-owned and led cannabis organizations aiming to support veterans seeking legal and medicinal cannabis. Here’s a list of some of the top companies striving for change.
