Medical Marijuana, Cannabis for Veterans is a Focus of Community Cannabis Center in Delray Beach

DELRAY BEACH, Fla., June 5, 2018 (Newswire.com) - ​The Community Cannabis Center in Delray Beach today announced partnerships with Vet Power Industries, ABC Biz Supply, and Operation120 to bring the benefits of medicinal cannabis to veterans as part of a complete treatment and support program. The center will work closely with its partners to develop programs to help veterans suffering from chronic pain, post-traumatic stress, and opiate addiction.

Vet Power Industries works with ABC Biz Supply to create education, employment, and entrepreneurial opportunities to support veteran and veteran-owned businesses. Operation120 is a non-profit organization with the driven purpose of serving active military, veterans, and their families. The Community Cannabis Center will work with Operation120 to provide "pets for vets", a companion pet program for eligible veterans, as well as other services.

Rick Nash, Director of Operations for Vet Power Industries, expressed his enthusiasm for the new partnership. "This is a great opportunity to support veterans who need our help. The research shows that cannabis therapy can help people with post-traumatic stress and chronic pain.  We hope this will be an important tool in reducing opiate addiction among returning veterans. This is one spoke in a very large wheel of support services we want to bring to our veterans."
