CannaVet Festival took place on Saturday, January 22nd, 2022
at the VFW Post 720 in Phoenix, AZ
A beautiful day with a steady flow of Veterans attendance coupled with enthusiastic and informative vendors, dj music and plenty of cannabis is a great way to sum up the event! Starting in the early morning hours with Paul Bishop (Combat Veteran) and Jim Morrison (Erl Cup Founder) charging the way from donut pick-up to event set up at the VFW Post 720.
Veterans from all over the country were in attendance, one notably told us he flew in from North Carolina just for CannaVet Fest. Many Veterans new to the area came to support their local Veterans and some even joined or transferred their VFW membership to Post 720. All the vendors and Veteran nonprofit organizations had great information to share and educate the Veterans about medicinal cannabis. The vendors and nonprofits provided resources and created a valuable networking and comfortable environment for Veterans and their families to learn and create new friendships amongst the Veteran Community.
The VFW Post 720 Veteran members joined in the festivities and education and showed their support by interacting and welcoming new members, giving interview testimonials about how cannabis has helped them, and educating themselves on medicinal cannabis. “This was exactly the intent of the event, to bring together the local Veteran Community and Cannabis Industry Professionals, to the VFW Veteran members and their Officers to educate them about medicinal cannabis” stated Aaron Augustis from Veterans Cannabis Group.
