About This Episode
About Our Guests
Leo Bridgewater was an Army Specialist who served multiple tours in Iraq and Afghanistan and worked with some of the Army’s highest ranked officers as a communications liaison before retiring with an honorable discharge. Having struggled with PTSD himself, he began advocating for veteran access to cannabis after learning that several of his veteran friends lost their battles with PTSD and took their own lives. He was one of three veterans asked to testify before the New Jersey State Assembly to lobby for PTSD to be added to the list of qualifying conditions under the state’s medical marijuana program. He invites veterans to connect with him through his nonprofit organization, New Jersey Cannabis Commission and at Facebook/LeoBridgewater.
