From Injury to Inspiration: An Interview with U.S. Veteran Bryan Buckley | Be Informed. Be Well.

9/28/2021
Donate to Battle Brothers Foundation Today 👉🏽 https://tinyurl.com/zx284xmu “Over 30,000 veterans have committed suicide since this war [in Afghanistan] started, and we’ve lost about 7,500 on the battlefield. So in theory, it’s more dangerous for us being back home than it was for us being in combat.” ~ Bryan Buckley, Marine Raider In this episode, John Malanca interviews Bryan Buckley, combat veteran and founder of the Battle Brothers Foundation and the Helmand Valley Growers Company, to describe the physical and emotional traumas he suffered during the war – and why coming home can be more dangerous for veterans than armed conflict. Chronic pain, PTS, depression, and anxiety are a major issue for U.S. veterans. Sadly, very few receive the help they need and deserve. The veteran suicide rate is 1.5 times as much as the rate for civilians. We believe that medical cannabis is the future of safe and effective treatment for our veterans. That’s why HVGC donates 100% of their profits to the Battle Brothers Foundation. This foundation empowers veterans through community-based personal development, progressive medical treatments to better their lives and the lives of their families, and economic upward mobility. Please watch and share Bryan’s story, and consider donating to the Battle Brothers Foundation so that Bryan can continue his mission to help America’s heroes. Donate here: https://tinyurl.com/zx284xmu If you live in California, please consider supporting the mission by purchasing HVGC products at your local dispensary.

Joe Dolce -The Benefits of Cannabis: Why It's Medicine

4/19/2021
Join us in this week’s podcast as John Malanca interviews Joe Dolce, the former editor-in-chief of Details magazine. Follow this remarkable individual as he discusses the history, future and truths, myths, and the common misconceptions surrounding pot/marijuana/cannabis...call it what you will, it’s all good for you! Our podcast will delight you as Joe and John discuss the ever-evolving world of cannabis. Whatever it has been called, cannabis has a long history of human use and helpful benefits. Dolce explains the historical relevance of the cannabis plant, its descent into the forbidden and finally into a Schedule I illegal “drug” and back again, state by state, while remaining federally illegal. As Joe travels around the world seeking societal input on whether cannabis is helpful or not, he will surprise and delight with tales of cannabis’ success, its history of prohibition, the welcomed surprise of those who use it for medical purposes and the fight which continues for full acceptance of this ancient plant. As Malanca and Dolce discuss the political landscape and its influence on marijuana, we find that perhaps we don’t know the truth about this sacred herb and that the answers to questions inevitably lead to more questions about cannabis! Tune in to watch something a bit different, yet very relevant in today’s world, and so very helpful when you ask yourself, “Should I use cannabis? Is it a dangerous ‘drug’? Do stoners know something I don’t and if cannabis is so effective in the treatment of disease and symptoms why are powers beyond my control dictating my health and wellness choices?” Some of the questions and their answers will enlighten your mind, warm your heart, fuel your anger and perhaps confirm what you knew or change what you thought was the truth.
