In this episode, we dive into how to transition out of the military in a healthy manner, the importance of community for veterans, organizations that are great to join as a veteran looking for community, war stories, how things get twisted by the news in regard to reporting war and how the news is now more interested in entertainment than being accurate, why Landmark Forum is a good idea for veterans, Viewing cannabis as a supplement more than a drug, and how cannabis can be beneficial for those who are suffering from various types of trauma (PTSD), and much more.
Enjoy!
