It's Wednesday and we're mad as hell.
Why?
1) Because one of our founders, who is an actively serving Army captain, cannot use our own CBD products due to a ban on its use by DoD/Federal Employees.
2) Despite the devastation caused in American communities by overzealous (re: highly paid sponsors) Doctors who prescribed opioids like candy, the VA still cannot recommend or prescribe medical ma*****na or CBD products, a proven alternative that doesn't destroy lives.
3) Nearly all social media platforms do not allow the advertising of non-THC CBD products, effectively closing off a massive potential source of education and research that showcases evidence of the benefits related to anxiety, sleep, PTSD, and other symptoms.
4) Though only making up 8% of the population, 13.5% of all su***de victims in 2020 were former service members. 58.7% of these veterans were under recent VA care and were diagnosed with substance abuse/mental health issues.
The stigma around CBD and other non-standard treatments needs to be erased from American culture. have done a fantastic job of making sure this issue remains at the forefront and to encourage a bipartisan, common sense solution.

It is too important to ignore.
