As a combat veteran who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, John Burk knows firsthand how difficult it can be to unlearn certain behaviors when returning home. Issues like PTSD can leave the veteran community vulnerable to anxiety, stress and more. Burk said many veterans find themselves struggling with opioid addiction or struggling to find resources at under-funded veterans affair centers.

Enter Shell Shock CBD. Burk, initially skeptical on how CBD products would work for these problems, eventually tried it for himself and saw just how well it could help other veterans.

“I felt good. I felt happy. I didn’t feel stressed. I wasn’t having these thoughts of depression or suicide or things that a lot of veterans have been dealing with,” Burk said. “In discovering this I knew this was gonna be huge for the veteran community. This is gonna get vets off of a lot of these addictive medications.”

Located at 1601 N. Glenville Drive, Ste. 108 in Richardson, Shell Shock CBD originally opened in 2019 and has seen immense success through its online sales. Taking advantage of word of mouth tactics, the company has been able to help multiple veterans and their families, and also aims to give back to the community through raffles and giveaways.

According to Burk, CBD works as anti-inflammatory and helps the body have a more balanced and stable metabolism, mood, sleep and hormones. Full Spectrum CBD products contain only a very small amount of THC—less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC—meaning it is legal in Texas and will not get consumers “high.” Isolate (THC free) CBD products contain no THC and will allow you to pass a drug test and enjoy the benefits of using CBD.

Some of the products that Shell Shock CBD offers include:What makes the business’s CBD products so unique? The potency. Shell Shock CBD ensures the dosage advertised on the product is what the customer gets, even going so far as to offer 100% money back guarantee and having their products tested in a lab to make sure the potency is correct.

“CBD can be expensive, depending on where you get it from because of the potency. What I do for our potential customers is I offer them a 100% money back guarantee. I'm that confident in our products,” Burk said. “It's natural CBD. It's very potent. It's a difference between buying your supplements from Walmart versus an actual supplement store.”

Currently, Shell Shock CBD is looking to expand to a larger brick and mortar store. Not only does the current building house the retail space, it’s also home to Burk’s podcast and where the products are shipped out. For now, the business is focused on delivering the highest quality products to its customers.
