Hello supporters of Australian veterans and the No More Zombie Veterans campaign,
I’m Derek, a RAAF veteran from the Iraq War. After years of service, I faced PTSD and found that 17 years of heavy medications left me foggy and detached—like a ‘zombie.’ Medicinal cannabis changed that, with science showing it calms the brain’s stress response, improves sleep, and softens traumatic memories for a clearer, healthier path forward. Sadly, the DVA doesn’t yet support it for veterans with PTSD or TBI. That’s why in 2021 I launched No More Zombie Veterans—to advocate for a natural, effective option that restores lives.
Due to my Iraq injuries I am not able to work and so far I have financed this campaign by myself, but now I really need your help to keep the fight going.
The NoMoreZombieVeterans campaign can now receive direct financial support via the "Buy Me a Coffee" online donation platform. Your donation will power our website, amplifies veterans’ stories, and fuels our push for DVA to approve prescription medicinal cannabis for our suffering veterans.

On behalf of all Australian veterans I thank you for your support,
Kindest regards,
Derek
