Former Navy SEAL Robert O’Neill, known for firing the shots that killed Osama bin Laden, has transitioned into the cannabis industry. O’Neill explained that after years of service and high-stress operations, he found cannabis to be a beneficial alternative for managing stress, anxiety, and chronic pain.
He stated that many veterans struggle with PTSD and other mental health issues, often turning to prescription medications with harsh side effects. O’Neill believes cannabis offers a safer, natural option for those dealing with trauma. His decision to enter the industry aligns with his goal of helping fellow veterans find relief.
O’Neill’s career shift has sparked mixed reactions, with some supporting his advocacy for alternative medicine and others questioning the move. Despite the controversy, he remains committed to changing perceptions around cannabis use, particularly within the veteran community.
