In this issue, with Veterans Day on November 11, 2015 we decided to dedicate the Cannabis Nurses Magazine November/December 2015 Issue to honor the United States Veterans who have given their lives to protect our freedoms in order to bring awareness to the ranks that PTSD is real and there is a solution to their pain. Medical Cannabis is their answer.
Our featured Cannabis Nurse this issue is, Shelly Van Winkle, a Veteran of the United States Army who now lives in Iowa. She is known as The Dragon Slayer who confronts some of our top politicians on their campaign trails with the simple question of how, if they gain entrance into office, will they as an Executive Branch leader, create change to assist patients to gain safe access to cannabis across the nation? She is a guiding light for Nurses across the nation and an example of how to approach legislation and politicians on these delicate issues of suppression and is confronting some of the largest dragons imaginable. We also honor, Alice O’Leary- Randall, The First Lady of Medical Marijuana, who is our national nurse mentor who has lead the way slaying dragons for decades. She provides a historic approach and reveals her trials and tribulations in order to assure that we learn from their endeavors so to not have history repeat itself in her book: Medical Marijuana in America Memoir of a Pioneer.
The Weed for Warriors Project (WFWP) has started their national march across the nation with The Cannaball Run 2015 which is a national march of heroic Veterans traveling from California to Washington D.C. in support of bringing recognition to the VA to allow Medical Cannabis to be a treatment option. I had the privilege of meeting their crew and interviewed the founder, Sean Kiernan, during their stop in Las Vegas, Nevada on October 19th, 2015. The Cannaball Run is leading the cross-country education campaign to raise awareness of how PTSD is taking Vets lives of well over twenty-two Veterans per day by suicide and informing Veterans that there is a treatment option that works, Medical Cannabis. You can join their campaign by visiting: Weed4warriorsproject.org When Veterans realize that there is a better treatment choice to their PTSD and to their many other symptoms, they can learn of the organization, Grow for Vets, which offers Veterans free Medical Cannabis. Cannabis Nurses Magazine had an exclusive interview with the Executive Director, Roger Martin, here in Las Vegas, Nevada who shared his story on how this organization came to be, where they are now, and where they see their future vision. Roger, an Army Veteran who suffers with PTSD himself, discovered and created the Grow for Vets Non-Profit Organization based out of Colorado to provide free Medical Cannabis to thousands of Veterans from across the nation and its working.
