**The event is not open to the public. Veteran attendees will be contacted by VCSP staff if their name is selected from the random draw, and the winners will be provided with a scheduled time to arrive at the event.

The Event Could Position Mississippi As a National Leader In Medical Cannabis Access For Veterans

The event will be held to kick off the national rollout of the Veteran Cannabis Support Program (VCSP), a private initiative founded by ElysianMed CEO, Roman Alexander Wellington.

Wellington stated, “We have just been informed that a veterans cannabis mass-certification event of this scale, where the fees for the certifications are completely covered for 250 veterans, has never been done in a single day in the US. So we are proud to be able to launch this first event in Mississippi where there is such a high concentration of veterans, especially those facing financial hardships.”

When asked about the event, Mississippi State Representative De’Keither Stamps (District 66), a US Army Veteran and co-sponsor of Mississippi cannabis legislation HB-1158, stated, “I am grateful that organizations like ElysianMed (MississippiMedicalMarijuanas.com) and its Veteran Cannabis Support Program have seen the tremendous effort Mississippi has put in to make medical cannabis available to our veteran population, and that they have chosen to hold such a momentous & historic event here in our beautiful state.”

“Veteran & service member Representatives like myself are determined to fight for the rights of all veterans to have access to better, more affordable, and alternative healthcare treatment options. It is my hope that by having events like this, Mississippi can help lead the charge across the nation for medical cannabis to be seen as a safe alternative treatment option for our veteran communities.”

Representative Stamps, along with other key political leaders in Mississippi who have championed veteran’s rights to medical cannabis, will be in attendance at the event.

Representative Stamps has also been invited to speak at the press conference that will be held on the morning of the event, and share his thoughts on the medical cannabis program and veteran’s rights in the State moving forward.

Additionally, several political and business VIP’s from around the country who are interested in seeing the results for the veteran community of such an event, have also requested to attend the event.

Wellington stated, “We have received tremendous interest in the event from political and business leaders in other states which already have active medical cannabis programs, as well as those still considering it. Several have asked to either attend the event themselves, or send representative delegates. It is our hope that this event will allow us to show the incredible benefit that providing veteran-focused medical cannabis programs can have not just in Mississippi, but across the nation.

Invitations to the event for both Mississippi and National political, veteran, and business leaders will officially start being sent out on Monday, April 3, 2023.

Roman Alexander Wellington, and several of the ElysianMed Senior Vice presidents, will be delivering invitations to several key Mississippi political and local business leaders who have requested to attend the event, when the executives begin arriving in the state next week.

Discussing the event, Mr. Wellington stated, “When I first started the VCSP initiative, I wanted to be able to help the veteran community in Mississippi who were seeking to use medical cannabis as an alternative form of treatment. However, it became clear very quickly that many of the veterans seeking to use medical cannabis, could not afford the rates that many prescribers have decided to charge for certifications.

He continued, “That is why we decided to hold this mass-certification event, and why MississippiMedicalMarijuanas.com and our Veteran Cannabis Support Program (VCSP) will be paying for these certifications personally.

Thousands Of Mississippi Veterans Could Receive Free Certifications In The Next Year

The historic April 30th event is only the first of many that MississippiMedicalMarijuanas.com is planning throughout the state of Mississippi over the next year. Current plans are to hold similar events each month in various key cities around Mississippi allowing for easier access to the events by veterans, especially those facing mobility issues or lack of transport.

The events will be fully funded through revenue’s generated from the business listing fees on the MississippiMedicalMarijuanas.com platform, allowing the events to remain free to veterans.

Veteran Cannabis Support Program

Teresa Teran, a widely respected multi-state advocate and thought leader, who is a veteran herself, also stepped forward to lend her experience and support to the event.

Ms. Teran stated, “As a veteran and advocate, when I found out about the VCSP program, I loved how well it was thought out and that it was getting help to the veteran community quickly. I know a lot of eyes at the highest levels of both the government and business sectors, are going to be watching this event closely to gauge the support for medical cannabis within the veteran community.

Ms. Teran continued, “Both Mr. Wellington and Ms. Robinson have shown me how steadfast they are on using this event to get the message across loud and clear, that veterans need affordable and easy access to medical cannabis as an alternative healthcare treatment option, and they need it now. By hosting an event of this scale, I knew that message would be heard. Their mission is directly aligned with mine, and as such, I wanted to lend my support in whatever ways I could to help ensure the event was a positive & unforgettable experience for all the veterans attending.
