Brenden Borrowman PhD. -  is the youngest One Station Unit Trainer graduate since the Vietnam War. While serving in the US Army Brenden was a team leader and PLT Sniper for a scout team in Afghanistan where he was wounded in combat. After spending two years recovering from wounds sustained in combat Brenden medically retired from the Army and spent two years doing contract work as a Defense contractor in Africa and Mexico.

     During Brendens time in the military and defense contracting he saw a need in the mental health space for treatment and release modalities. That led Brenden to receiving his PhD and opening a drug rehab for veterans in Utah. Brendens research into restoring blood flow to midbrain shaped protocols for veterans to recover from traumas. Brenden saw that treatment alone was not enough and created Popping Smoke as a way to provide a recreational outlet for veterans that are safer and healthier than coping mechanisms like drinking and chemical lab drugs.

Guy Higgins -  is a former Recon Scout Sniper that served with 3d and 1st Recon Battalions from 2007-2017 when he was Honorably Discharged from active service. Guy as many other veterans has suffered PTSD and depression both stemming from time in service and the “loss of purpose” after their discharge.

     “I’ve watched myself and brothers fall at the coping of alcohol and abuse of prescription medication for over a decade. I’ve also watched plant medicine give people a fighting chance and save their lives.”

     Guy lives with a new purpose to end alcohol dependency and to use plant medicine as a way to give back to other veterans.

     Our mission is to change the conversation around cannabis for the warfighter and conservative communities. Cannabis has helped us to save multiple Veterans who were experiencing a variety of mental/emotional turmoils. Our goal is to help end veteran suicide by supporting non profits who are advanced in the Neuro space. These nonprofits create scalable technology and therapies that help restore blood flow to the midbrain and in return reduce trauma effects on veterans; all while providing safe products to replace chemical drugs and alcohol. We are here to provide a high quality product with a high quality purpose.

     On top of providing quality cannabis, 70% of our profits are delivered back into our Veteran community to nonprofits such as The Forge Forward Project. Popping Smoke USA donates to like minded organizations who are truly reliable and effective in the mental health space.
