Providing Comprehensive Endocannabinoid System Support


We provide evidence-based education on medical cannabis as a therapeutic tool for managing symptoms related to pain, mood disorders, and sleep disturbances. Our approach extends beyond cannabis education to encompass comprehensive lifestyle modifications that naturally support and optimize your endocannabinoid system.

Through personalized coaching and educational programs, we guide clients in implementing sustainable changes including alcohol and caffeine reduction, elimination of processed foods, incorporation of regular physical activity, adoption of whole food nutrition, enhancement of social engagement, and development of effective stress management techniques.

This holistic methodology ensures that cannabis therapy is integrated within a broader framework of wellness practices that work synergistically to promote optimal health outcomes and long-term symptom management.


Their Story


Vital Holistic Care (formerly The Cannabis Nurses + Co) was founded by registered nurses who witnessed firsthand how pharmaceutical medications were failing their patients. After seeing countless individuals struggle with harmful side effects and dependencies, they created a practice dedicated to holistic cannabis education and support.


How They Help Veterans


Professional Cannabis Education:
Their registered nurses provide comprehensive 1.5-hour education sessions, taking complete medical histories and creating customized cannabis treatment plans - exactly like the approach that transformed the veterans in our documentary.

Non-Intoxicating Focus: They specialize in cannabinoids like CBD, CBG, CBN, and CBC that provide therapeutic benefits without impairment, allowing veterans to manage symptoms while staying clear-headed for work and family responsibilities.

Pharmaceutical Transition Support: They help veterans safely reduce dependency on problematic medications like opioids, benzodiazepines, and sleep aids that often create more problems than they solve.


Conditions They Address

  • PTSD & Trauma: Cannabis interacts with the endocannabinoid system to help regulate mood, memory, and fear responses

  • Chronic Pain: Non-intoxicating cannabinoids target pain pathways without dependency risks

  • Sleep Disorders: Addressing insomnia and nightmares that plague many veterans

  • Mental Health: Depression, anxiety, and emotional regulation challenges

  • Women Veterans: Specialized programs for female veterans dealing with menopause, PMS, and hormonal issues


Services Offered

  • Individual cannabis consultations

  • Group education workshops

  • Medical cannabis coaching

  • Women's health cannabis programs

  • Holistic wellness support
