From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Quality Inn in Central Denver, the group Grow4Vets will give out cannabis products worth more than $200 to veterans who RSVP for the event by noon Friday. Others will be asked for a $20 donation at the door and get more than $100 in pot products in exchange, organizers [told](http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/local-news/marijuana/operation-grow4vets-hosting-marijuana-giveaway-in-denver-saturday "undefined") ABC7 News Denver. Grow4Vets exists to “reduce the staggering number of Veterans who die each day from suicide and prescription drug overdose” by providing vets “with the knowledge and resources necessary to obtain or grow their own marijuana for treatment of their medical conditions,” the group’s website says. A repeat of the event will be held September 27 in Colorado Springs. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3404294/marijuana-pot-colorado-veterans/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3404294/marijuana-pot-colorado-veterans/"},"headline":"Pro-Pot Group Giving Free Weed to Colorado Vets","datePublished":"2014-09-19T17:52:20.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T10:18:38.090Z","description":"The organization Grow4Vets is giving free marijuana to veterans Saturday","url":"https://time.com/3404294/marijuana-pot-colorado-veterans/","keywords":["Drugs","Marijuana","Pot","Colorado","Veterans","Denver","Vets"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltbafa87477968e291/6986a463f983e7bbc104fc06/ap957270163537.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Denver Nicks","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/denver-nicks/"}],"articleSection":"U.S.","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltbafa87477968e291/6986a463f983e7bbc104fc06/ap957270163537.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"A worker cultivates a special strain of medical marijuana known as Charlotte's Web inside a greenhouse, in a remote spot in the mountains west of Colorado Springs, Colo. on Feb. 7, 2014.","caption":"A worker cultivates a special strain of medical marijuana known as Charlotte's Web inside a greenhouse, in a remote spot in the mountains west of Colorado Springs, Colo. on Feb. 7, 2014.","creditText":"Brennan Linsley—AP","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/us/","name":"U.S."}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/drugs/","name":"Drugs"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3404294/marijuana-pot-colorado-veterans/","name":"Pro-Pot Group Giving Free Weed to Colorado Vets"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"San Francisco Startup Delivers Pot To Your Door","description":"A new service for delivering medical marijuana is being described as","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/KqJ6THQy/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2014-07-30T16:08:59.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/KqJ6THQy.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/3404294/marijuana-pot-colorado-veterans/","duration":"PT1M29S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/3404294/marijuana-pot-colorado-veterans/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
