Marine Corps Veteran | Sheridan, Wyoming
Dale Krause served two combat deployments — Iraq and Afghanistan — before a roadside IED ended his career and started a decade-long education in what the VA could and couldn't do for chronic pain. He spent years on a pharmaceutical cocktail that kept him functional but, as he puts it, made him feel like furniture in his own house. He found his way to medical cannabis in 2016 and has been writing about that experience honestly ever since — not as an advocate, but as someone who did the trial and error so other veterans don't have to start from zero. He lives outside Sheridan with his wife Sarah and their two kids.
A veteran breaks down each delivery method — what works fast, what you can measure, and what fits a life with two kids asleep down the hall.
