Robert O’Neill, the highly decorated former Navy Seal who took down Osama bin Laden, is shifting gears as the founder of Operator Canna Co, a new cannabis company. He plans to sell his state-licensed marijuana brand in New York City dispensaries, and will also donate a portion of the revenue to support disabled veterans through a charitable organisation. The company’s website features a green colour scheme reminiscent of military fatigues, and the cursor is designed to look like a sniper’s bullseye. The cannabis products, cultivated at an upstate New York farm, will initially be available exclusively at The Flowery cannabis stores in Staten Island, Queens, the Upper West Side, and SoHo in Manhattan. The former Navy SEAL believes that marijuana can provide much-needed relaxation and psychological relief for individuals in high-stress professions, offering a safer alternative to alcohol and prescription medications. He jokingly suggested that pot could help ease the country’s intense and divisive political tensions, saying, \”If we take cannabis, we can have better conversations. We have the potential for world peace right here\”
