Jason Higgins

During his 14 years of combat experience as both a Navy SEAL and Contractor, Jason made over 15 deployments to combat zones.

He then left the Special Operations Community to pursue a life outside of direct combat roles and begin his personal recovery. He spent the next three years traveling and scouring the globe for natural medicines and practices such as Ashtanga Yoga, Wim Hof breathing, cold exposure and others supplements and treatments that could help him conquer the issues he was having after returning home. He has been lucky enough to have met and worked with practitioners at the forefront of plant-based medicines.

He has since focused his energies on educating and exposing himself to the latest technologies available to veterans for PTSD and anxiety related issues, dedicating himself daily to further his personal recovery and teaching his fellow veterans about both the treatments available to them and the benefits they are entitled.

He has been an avid user of cannabinoids and has combined in cooperation with Will some of their favorite botanicals and supplements to aid in helping others achieve a more balanced life.

Will Chesney

A former US Navy SEAL and Combat Assault Dog Handler, Will Chesney is a co-founder of Easy Day Hemp.

Texas Native Will Chesney chose to serve his country in 2002 when he joined the United States Navy. After completing BUD/S Class 246, Chesney was stationed in Virginia Beach and nobly served as a SEAL in multiple deployments around the globe. 

​

A grenade explosion ultimately led to Chesney’s retirement in 2015 after 13 years of dedicated service, during which he received various medals and commendations, including a Silver Star and a Purple Heart. Eager to give back, Chesney has now directed his attention to helping veterans, like himself, who have suffered a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).

​

Leading up to his medical retirement Chesney was facing numerous physical injuries and psychological symptoms that affected every part of his well-being and life. On a daily basis Chesney experienced chronic pains and migraines, severe anxiety and depression, memory loss and difficulty focusing, high blood pressure, and numbness and tension in his body. He tried everything from addictive substances and escapism, to military and veteran services, prescription medications, therapy, and things like the ganglion block, and holistic treatments and technologies such as: acupuncture, floating, Alpha Stem and Trans-cranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS). While these things offered some temporary relief, Chesney’s pain and symptoms continued to inhibit his quality of life and ability to function normally in society, which made it challenging to stay consistent with the positive healing modalities he did like.

​

Will Chesney had always been aware of the healing benefits of cannabis but had to wait until retirement to explore this option. Cannabis indeed became another tool and remedy; however THC had its own disadvantages. Upon discovering CBD, Chesney’s life forever changed. CBD had all the benefits of other cannabinoids plus additional healing benefits, but did not have the side effects of THC.
