CLEVELAND, Ohio — It’s been a month since Ohioans legalized Recreational marijuana. While it hasn’t been available to buy yet, it could be available very soon.
At just 19, Joe Zannetti made the life-changing decision to join the Marine Corps. He described his 4-year stint as a machine gunner in Afghanistan as challenging but fulfilling. Coming home, though, re-entering society often turns out to be the most challenging part for veterans.Zannetti went to college and graduated with a criminal justice degree. But as he found himself heading towards another uniform, he said he felt stressed and on edge, like he often did in the Marines.
Zanetti did a 180 and found a career in cannabis as the Director of Extractions at Firelands Scientific based in Huron. Firelands Scientific has 5 locations of medical marijuana storefronts across Ohio called The Landing Dispensary.Besides creating products, Zanetti's latest mission is helping other veterans with Firelands Scientific’s new program, Vets2Vets.
