But Wait, There’s More …
In one of our first blog posts back in 2023, we told you we were going to get to work—that we might go quiet for a while, but we’d be back with updates and tangible proof that things were happening behind the scenes.
Well... we meant it. And here we are.
It’s been a minute since we posted here, but that’s not because we disappeared. It’s because we were building. Strategizing. Growing something real, from the dirt up. If you’re reading this now, welcome to the proof-of-life transmission.
Why We’ve Been Quiet on the Blog
Because sometimes, doing the work means not having time to post about the work.
We’ve spent the past two years digging, writing, organizing, and testifying—not refreshing our website analytics. We know that may look like silence. But in reality, it's the sound of real movement happening offline, in gardens, courtrooms, statehouses, and memory.
Now that the groundwork is laid, we’re ready to bring the stories to light. We’re kicking the dust off this blog and turning it into a living dispatch from the front lines of veteran-led justice.
What's Coming Next
Regular blog updates from across our international coalition
A deep-dive series exposing corruption in cannabis research
Archival drops from the federal medical marijuana files
Policy recommendations that didn’t come from think tanks—but from the people who bled, served, and survived
Garden-based healing stories from Arizona to Israel
So, yeah...
But wait, there’s more…
(Like the VA — only we actually deliver.)
Stay tuned, stay loud, and if you’ve got a little light, now’s the time to let it shine.
