Veterans Cannabis Project Joins New U.S. Cannabis Council

WASHINGTON, DC – Veterans Cannabis Project has announced that it will be joining the U.S. Cannabis Council (USCC), a new alliance of top cannabis businesses, associations, and advocacy organizations working to end federal cannabis prohibition.

“The Veterans Cannabis Project’s mission aligns closely with the USCC’s objectives, and we look forward to the opportunity to work together to provide legal cannabis access for veterans in the U.S.,” said VCP President Phil Anderson. “Cannabis is a proven and safe health management option for veterans suffering from both physical and psychological wounds of war, and we are proud to represent their voices on the USCC.”

 A 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization, USCC counts among its members some of the most prominent advocacy, policy, and industry organizations in the cannabis sector. The USCC “aims to raise ethical standards within the industry; achieve restorative justice for communities that have been disproportionately impacted by misguided state and federal cannabis policies; and create a healthy, inclusive, and well-regulated cannabis industry with social, financial and environmental benefits shared by all.”
