Sgt. Bud

My Story

I’m Sgt. Bud, a veteran of Operation Desert Storm/Desert Shield. My family has a history of serving in the military; my father served in WW II, two brothers served in the Army and Marine Corp and my son is an officer in the Army.

I’ve lived with PTSD since returning home from service in 1991. Over the years, I would self medicate for relief. After seeing how the hemp cream helped my knee, I looked to see how a tincture would help my PTSD. It helped with my mood, anxiety and help me sleep. After letting friends and family members try the CBD products and got their testimonials, we decided to launch Battle Buds.

I started this company with my family after using hemp cream with cannabidiol (CBD). Since then, I’ve added hemp along with healthy food choices and physical activity to have better wellness. We believe in the healing ability of plants.

My squad and I are always on a mission to provide you with some of the best and high quality hemp products around. Check back often as we’re always looking to provide you with great products that aid your health and wellness.
