Why I Joined The Green Wave
Folks are either gonna wanna know more...or stop being my friend. If one chooses the latter then please refer to my initial blog.
My friend and homie Grant did 2 tours in Iraq as a Marine grunt. Meaning he was doing front line shit.
Came home.
Went to UT (University of Texas) and because he's pretty smart he got a petroleum engineering degree and went to work at Chevron.
Here's the rub.
The PTSD didn't go away and like many vets he was seeking a way to function at a high level without all the traditional treatments like Paxil, Zoloft, Prozac, Effexor or Tegretol.
We remained friends and I kinda became Grants mentor. Especially as he sought a way to satisfy his entrepreneurial urge and at the same time help our fellow vets.
** SIDEBAR::: as a former Army nurse I gotta interject that PTSD is rampant among our heroes. Returing home from the stresses of combat and overseas service is placing enormous pressure on an ill equipped VA system **
Now back to the story....
After seeking alternative treatment options Grant discovered CBD (cannabidiol) which is a component of cannabis and it became his mission.
Citizen Ventures, LLC was the result and long story long he hit the ground running.
A company was born right smack dab in the middle of the green revolution.
Our mission::: serving our nations heroes, one vet at a time.
Until the next installment where I'll share the genesis of a cannabis company, learn more HERE...
