“Plants beat pills.”
Santa Cruz Veterans Alliance is a nonprofit advocacy group that provides free medical marijuana to veterans who need it. Every first and third Monday of the month, hundreds of veterans line up at the Veterans of Foreign Wars building to pick up a brown bag full of free cannabis. Santa Cruz Veterans Alliance was co-founded by Aaron Newsom who believes that cannabis is a safer and healthier alternative to all of the pharmaceuticals including dangerous opioids that we receive from the V.A.
