Every veteran has a unique story to share about their experience serving our country with valor and honor. But one thing all our heroes have in common now that they’re older is that they need access to the best medical solutions to get them through the night.
Whether it’s to treat chronic pain from wartime injuries long ago or alleviate the PTSD that keeps them awake for far too long, medical marijuana is a terrific way for our veterans to reclaim their lives. And for years, Elevate Holistics has made it easier for honored service members to get access to MMJ cards and high-quality cannabis products at local dispensaries.
Military veterans have earned their right to get judgment-free care and progressive medical treatment. Here’s why our heroes choose and trust Elevate Holistics to pave the path toward better support.
Veterans Have Unique, Often Debilitating Health Needs
Military service ends at some point, but the toll it takes on our heroes’ minds and bodies never does. Every day is always a physical and emotional battle for the brave men and women who serve our nation from years of exposure to the life-altering world of combat.
Here are just some of the common conditions veterans face daily:
- Chronic pain from war injuries, disability, or surgery
- Musculoskeletal Injuries (specifically in their back, knees, and joints)
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD
- Anxiety disorders
- Sleep disorders, such as insomnia and sleep paralysis
- Depression
These conditions aren’t coincidental. They’re deeply tied to the intense physical and emotional strain the nation’s defenders had to go through on the daily to protect our country.
How Medical Marijuana Helps Veterans
For decades, the only health solutions available for veterans going through this physical and mental turmoil were traditional options, like painkillers or opioids. But these “treatments” do more harm than good, especially when service members depend too heavily on them.
Thankfully, there are other healthcare solutions that can treat and alleviate the symptoms of debilitating conditions veterans experience, like medical marijuana.
For example, it’s estimated that at one point in their lives, 7% of veterans will have PTSD. The THC in many cannabis products can help calm the brain’s response to perceived threats and dangers. As a result, veterans who use medical marijuana can get less anxiety and better sleep, keeping their PTSD symptoms at bay.
But it’s not easy for those who served with honor to get their hands on these products. When veterans explore their options and seek out natural alternatives, like medical marijuana, they can potentially lose support from the health and government agencies built to help them. That makes it challenging for them to access marijuana, even if it can help immensely with their conditions.
Why Veterans Love Elevate Holistics
We believe veterans getting a medical marijuana card deserve the easiest, most hassle-free experience possible. That’s why, at Elevate Holistics, we make our process veteran-friendly. Here’s why so many of our nation’s heroes turn to us for our MMJ card services.
Fast and Convenient Online Appointments
Plenty of veterans have issues with mobility, while for others, it’s simply a hassle to carve so much time out of their day to go to the hospital for an in-person appointment with a doctor. We make it so much easier for service members through our online appointment system, which is 100% remote. You book a schedule, talk to a licensed physician, and get your MMJ card recommendation, all from the comfort of your home.
Private and Discreet
There’s a lot of stigma surrounding cannabis use, which can make some veterans feel ashamed or worried when they head to a clinic for a doctor’s evaluation. But our process is all online and completely private, so nobody has to know you’re getting assessed for an MMJ card. We also promise the utmost confidentiality and discretion, so you don’t have to face judgment from anyone.
We Give Back to Those Who Served Our Nation
Our team at Elevate Holistics has a track record of giving back to our valorous veterans. For our first anniversary, we gave out free certification appointments for veterans for every person who joined our Facebook page. We’ve also had a give-back campaign donating 100 MMJ appointments to veterans in Missouri. These are modest favors and the least we can do for the immeasurable impact of our veterans’ service and dedication.
Access to Dispensaries That Prioritize Them
Not all dispensaries give extra priority to medical patients and veterans. But Elevate Holistics works only with high-quality dispensaries dedicated to giving the best service to those who actually need cannabis products to treat their medical conditions, which includes our former military personnel. Some partner dispensaries might even provide veteran-friendly discounts, which is a great way to save money when buying medical marijuana.

Veterans have given up years of their lives to battle it out on the frontline to protect our freedom. Now, it’s our turn to serve them by making sure they have access to holistic, compassionate, judgment-free treatment options for the trauma they carry with them to this day.
At Elevate Holistics, we believe veterans have fought for their right to live the rest of their days with comfort and relaxation.
