We Care About Our Veterans

Veterans Initiative 22

22 veterans take their own life due to PTSD. Our team is dedicated to supporting those who have served our nation.

Veterans Initiative 22 is a nonprofit focused on helping veterans live a better life through fundraisers, community events, education on cannabis as an alternative to opioids, assisting veterans with employment opportunities, and offering resources.

A National Problem

Pain, irritability, stress, and sleep issues are just a few of the challenges that accompany PTSD patients. Our veteran community has a higher risk of experiencing PTSD due to their service to our country. Traditional remedies to “treat PTSD” are not handled well by our military or medical communities. Some even include forcing patients into “prolonged exposure therapy” in which therapists have them relive past traumatic events over typically 15 90-minute sessions. This combined with the prescription of traditional opioid medication for pain has led to many addiction problems closely related to veterans with PTSD.

A Natural Solution

CBD is a natural remedy that has begun to get traction due to its ability to target the above symptoms. In lowering stress and improving sleep quality, patients can begin a path to success that is not dependent on opioids or other medications with harmful side effects. The military has only begun to welcome CBD because of its relation to cannabis; however, our Veterans Initiative 22 is on a mission to destigmatize CBD oil and PTSD overall through awareness, education, and fundraisers.
