Breaking the Stigma: Veterans and Cannabis Healing

In this episode of Joint Session, host Herb Barbot brings together a powerful panel conversation on veterans and cannabis, featuring Dr. Jaclyn Schneider, former VA physician and palliative care specialist, Ryan “420 Chief” Johnson, a retired Navy chief and founder of Break Stigmas, and Robb Harmon, founder of Veterans Cannabis Care. Together, they explore the evolving relationship between veterans and cannabis—moving from stigma and silence to more open conversations around healing and alternative care.
