but after moving to the Valley, she organized a new group and for the last 3 years she’s been putting her time and energy into building a community. It started out with 2 vets and has grown to sometimes as many as 60.
Rachel has witnessed veterans go from taking 14 pills a day down to 2, once they started attending the meetings and using Cannabis. She’s seen pain pumps be removed, no longer needed. She’s witnessed emotional healing, as the community grows and develops.
Right now, CannaCare needs a permanent location. They need a space to host events so they can continue to grow and support other vets in their mission to spread Cannabis knowledge and awareness. If you’re at all inspired by what they’re doing and are looking for ways to help, there are many! Happen to have a spare acre? Offer it up! If you’re truly looking for ways to stand behind our nation’s great slogan, “Support Our Troops,” this is one way you can do so. Support them after they come home, possibly wounded and needing care or community. Support them in their search for alternatives to addictive, habit forming medications.
