58 CANNABIS FOR VETERANS

Veteran Resources

Our mission at Operation Compassionate Care is to reduce the unnecessary deaths of United States Veterans from suicide and prescription overdose. We provide the resources to pursue a safe, alternative treatment.

The Mission of HVMC is: To inform, educate, lobby, support and maintain legislations for the “legal” Medical use of Cannabis within the State of Indiana. In addition, when we have fought and won for the legalization of Medical Cannabis, HVMC will work with our legislators to continuously review, revise and update legislation as may be necessary from time to time. i.e. recognizing residents from out of State that are Medical Cannabis patients …and so forth.

On a national level HVMC will fight to petition our Federal Government to reduce Cannabis from a Schedule I (fraudulently noted) to a Schedule II rating under the Substance Control Act of 1970 and to petition the Veterans Affairs in making policies to more freely prescribe and recommend Cannabis to our Veterans in lieu of the fatal prescription practices we have been so accustomed too.

New England Veterans Alliance Inc. is a non-profit organization that cultivates veterans of all conflicts regardless of age, gender, preference or orientation and their families through peer contact and alternative wellness. Our vision is to assist and advocate for veterans in order for them to be able to competently navigate a nexus of veteran owned and operated patriotic resources, geared at improving the veterans quality of life through education in self sufficiency at home and in our natural environments.

We are a Non-Profit 501(c)3, dedicated to enhancing the lives of veterans and our community. We are striving to build a community where veterans and their families can rely on resources, relief and recreational activities. Making a positive impact starts with Compassion,Care and Accountability!
