Today on Blunt Business our host Sean Eubanks is joined by Aaron Newsom from The Santa Cruz Veterans Alliance. SCVA's mission is to provide Qualified California Military Veterans with top quality, lab-tested medical cannabis grown by fellow United States Military Veterans. The cornerstone of SCVA is our Veteran Compassion Program (VCP). Through the VCP every member of this collective receives FREE, top quality, lab-tested medical cannabis. It’s our way of honoring fellow veterans and assisting combat veterans who have service-related disabilities. This program allows our members to collectively have a voice in our organization and the cannabis movement. SCVA strives to be a community for veterans and supporters to reach out to one another. We want to create a place for veterans to speak about their combat experiences and the therapeutic benefits of medical cannabis, specifically as it relates to the traumas of war. We promote the medicinal benefits of cannabis and how to better address issues of pharmaceutical dependence, depression, anxiety, anger, and other ailments. The SCVA team also hopes to bring awareness to the issue of veteran suicide, which occurs at a staggering rate of at least 22 a day.

In this episode, we sit down with Santa Cruz Veterans Alliance to discuss who they are, what they do and why they do it. The SCVA is a group of veterans who provide free, lab-tested, cannabis to any veteran that also have a medical recommendation. They were founded in 2011 by Aaron Newsom and Jason Sweatt, both veterans themselves. Find out more about them by visiting their website: www.scveteransalliance.com

We sit down with Seth Smith of the Santa Cruz Veterans Alliance. The organization trains veterans to grow medicinal cannabis, a form of horticultural therapy, which is then donated to other veterans as an alternative form of medicine. We talk about the growing cannabis industry, legal hurdles and legislation, and our own personal stories (both positive + negative) with cannabis. This is an informative episode that hopes to illuminate the future of this plant.
