CBD Advocacy

Write your State Representative #CBDANDVA
Mar 03, 2023
In a world where it's easy to feel like our voices go unheard, it's more important than ever to come together and advocate for what we believe in. Writing a letter to our congressmen about CBD use for veterans is a powerful way to make a real impact. By using the letter template provided in this post and urging others to do the same, we can amplify our voices and ensure that our lawmakers hear our concerns. Our veterans have sacrificed so much for our country, and they deserve access to safe and effective treatments. The current VA policy prohibiting CBD use is leaving many veterans without access to this important treatment option. But by working together and persistently advocating for policy change, we can make a real difference. Change doesn't happen overnight, but through our collective effort and dedication, we can make sure that our veterans receive the care and treatment they deserve. Use your voice and encourage others to do the same. Together, we can create policy change and make a lasting impact on the lives of our veterans.
Integrating CBD into the VA Healthcare System (Part 3)
Mar 01, 2023
The use of cannabidiol (CBD) as a natural remedy for various health conditions has become increasingly popular in recent years. CBD has been shown to help with anxiety, depression, pain, and even post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), making it an attractive alternative to traditional medication. With the growing interest in CBD, it is no surprise that many veterans are turning to CBD as a possible treatment option for their health issues. However, there is currently no official policy regarding the use of CBD in the Veteran Affairs (VA) healthcare system. As a result, many veterans who wish to explore the benefits of CBD are forced to do so on their own, without the guidance or support of the VA. This is a missed opportunity to provide veterans with safe and effective alternatives to traditional medication, as well as a chance to improve their quality of life. In this post, we will explore the steps needed to integrate CBD into the VA healthcare system, so that veterans can have access to this natural remedy under the guidance of healthcare professionals.
How CBD Could Transform the VA System (Part 1)
Feb 27, 2023
We are excited to announce our three part series: Revolutionizing Veteran Healthcare, with our first part, How CBD Could Transform the VA System. Before we dive into this, I would like to mention a few things. The founding of Organic Grit stems from the idea of providing quality CBD for U.S. veterans dealing with various mental and physical conditions. Countless of our friends have spent years away from home in austere environments and had no problem with serving there. We all loved it. What we did not anticipate was the heavy amount physical and mental damage this would cause. We would learn about this all on our exit from the military.  We all continue our fight in our own ways, but one thing that must happen is for us to MAKE IT BACK. Make it back, by any means.  It's for us all.  This fight is for you. With that lets dive into it.
