It was in a combat zone in Iraq that our founder and CEO, Gary Hess, experienced trauma, loss, and physical pain like never before. He lost his brothers in arms, he lost his peace of mind, and he lost his sense of connection with his body and the world around him.
This loss was compounded when he turned to traditional Western medicine and care and was met with addictive pharmaceuticals—the cause of skyrocketing suicide rates in the veteran community.
By helping to re-balance the autonomic nervous system and enhance neuroplasticity, medical cannabis allowed Gary to break free from the unhealthy, trauma-induced state he’d been in for long enough to see the world through a new light, reconnect with himself, and unlock healing free of pharmaceutical side effects.
Since 2019, Gary has worked tirelessly to advocate for access to medical cannabis and cannabis education in Louisiana and throughout the United States so that people experiencing trauma, chronic pain, and other debilitating conditions can find the healing they deserve.
