Operation Green Wellness · A WeedWorks Mission

Educating Veterans on Plant Medicine
& Alternative Therapies.


A Phoenix-based advocacy mission. We bring veterans, families, and the wellness community together to learn, heal, and move forward — with dignity and informed choice.

Born in Phoenix November 2025. Continuing June 2026. Growing from there.

Our Three Pillars

Education. Advocacy. Community.

Compass

Education

Clear, trusted information on plant medicine and alternative therapies — the kind that lets veterans make their own informed choices.

Shield

Advocacy

Stigma-free conversations between veterans, industry experts, and the wellness community. We bring the dialogue into the open.

Star

Community

Real connections with veteran-led organizations, partner brands, and the wider Arizona community. The mission doesn’t move alone.

Proven Momentum

Voices of the Mission

Real people. Real stories.

V
Veteran Attendee
First Mission · Nov 2025

“The event was very educational and we really appreciate the work that WeedWorks is doing for veterans. After hearing from the speakers and talking with other vets, I’m starting my own cannabis journey — something I never would have considered before. Seeing how it’s helping other vets manage PTSD, chronic pain, and sleep gave me hope that I could find something that works for me too.”

Bill Meeks
37-Year Police Veteran · AZ’s First Cannabis Coach

37-year police veteran, worked in narcotics all the way up to Assistant Chief. Bill’s cannabis journey started when he retired from the Sheriff’s Department and was prescribed his first opioid. 8 years later, he was addicted and beat opioid addiction through the use of cannabis. Bill became the 1st cannabis coach in AZ and also performs psychedelic treatments for those with severe PTSD and trauma.

Ro Gonzales
Executive Director

“Cannabis saved my life and I asked WeedWorks to educate my fellow veterans on plant medicine. WeedWorks put on a great expo that opened the minds of those that attended. All the speakers were engaging and several veterans visited a dispensary for the first time after the event.”
