Marijuana is big business in Colorado. And it’s cash-heavy. That makes marijuana dispensaries and farms targets for burglary. Iron Protection Group is a security company that hires military vets to protect pot farms and shops. It gives vets a sense of purpose and brotherhood – and also, for some, an aid for their PTSD.
