Steve Danyluk Lt . Col . US Marine Corps , Ret . Founder , Warfighter Hemp | Live from Virginia Follow : @ warfighterhemp Steve Danyluk ( Lt . Col USMC , ret ) served thirty years , both as an enlisted man and officer in the US military , with two combat tours and one stateside tour working issues for severely injured service members and their families at the National Military Medical Center , Walter Reed . It was there that Steve noticed that while we were providing the best immediate trauma care the world had to offer to our wounded on the battlefield , when it came to their post traumatic care there seemed to be an over reliance on opiates and psychotropic medications that Steve feared would lead to long term issues for our nation ’ s veterans . Steve founded Warfighter Hemp as a means to provide a better and healthier alternative to the men and women who he felt deserved better . Veterans enjoy a 50 % lifetime discount on all tinctures and 10 % of all sales proceeds go to support veteran charities .
