Our Circle
People came first. The record followed.
Our Circle begins the moment you create an account. Membership is automatic, free, and stays yours whether you order today, six months from now, or only come by to see what we are learning. BattleBuds grew because people told other people, and this is how we keep that relationship visible.
We publish the lab report for every lot. When the name on the package and the name on the report differ, we show both. The paperwork exists because someone is on the other end of it.
As a veteran-owned company, we answer to that standard plainly. Your account is your place in the Circle. Your first order begins its record.
That record starts with Battle Rations.
The oldest rule in this
Nobody learned this alone. Somebody passed it to you — on a porch, in a parking lot, at the back of a show, in a friend’s garage with the door cracked. Somebody who had it made sure you had some too, and did not make it weird about the money.
That is the oldest rule in this culture and it predates every dispensary, every brand and every app. It was never really about the plant. It was about not being the person who sits on something while the people around them go without.
We are a company, so we are not going to pretend we are running a porch. But we can build the rule into how the store works instead of hoping people feel it. That is what the rest of this page is.
What You Bring
A circle starts with one person.
Solidarity is not something you sign up for. You are either already carrying it or you are not, and people can tell which.
Before a circle holds friends, or family, or anyone else, it holds what that person keeps close. The room they wake up in. The routines they repeat. The work they practice. The people they listen to, the things they read, the practices they keep when nobody is watching, and whatever gets the best part of their attention.
That makes a circle less like a guest list and more like a record of choices — your own, kept by you, read by nobody else. Some are made once. Most are made again and again. Over time you get better at seeing what belongs, what has earned its place, and what should stay outside the line.
That judgment matters, because everyone carries something into a shared space. Habits come with us. Standards come with us. So do the ways we speak, work, learn, train, and treat the ground around us.
Caring for your own circle is what makes the larger one worth standing in. It gives a group something real underneath it, instead of a name, a logo and a membership count.
Our Circle is the sum of what each of us decided was worth keeping — and the choice to stand with people who brought something worth having.
Battle Rations
Battle Rations are points, and we kept them deliberately simple because loyalty schemes that need a chart are usually hiding something.
| Earn | 1 Ration for every $1 you spend |
| Redeem | 100 Rations = $5 off your order |
| Group Sesh | 10% of the Rations your people earn |
| Welcome | 100 Rations when you join someone’s Sesh and place your first order |
That works out to 5% back on everything, with no tiers to climb and no expiry games. Rations are store credit — they have no cash value, they are not transferable, and if an order is cancelled or refunded the Rations on it come back off. Your balance is always visible in your account.
Group Sesh
Group Sesh is the part that pays you for the thing you were going to do anyway: telling someone.
You get a link and a code, both in your account. Anyone who signs up through them is in your Sesh from then on. They get 100 Battle Rations on their first order — a $5 head start for showing up. And you earn 10% of every Ration they earn, on every order they place, for as long as they keep ordering.
Not a one-time finder’s fee. Not a coupon that expires in thirty days. A standing share, because that is how it works when you actually pass something around.
There is no cost to join, nothing to buy in with, and no cap on how many people can be in your Sesh. You earn from the people you brought in, not from the people they bring in. Their circle is theirs. One level, on purpose, and it is never going to become more than that.
Ways to earn
- Order anything. Every dollar is a Ration. No minimum, no qualifying products.
- Bring someone in. 10% of everything they earn, indefinitely, and they start with 100 Rations of their own.
- Buy in volume. The per-eighth price steps down as your cart grows across any mix of strains, and you still earn Rations on what you spend.
- Stay with us. Rations do not reset. A balance built slowly is worth the same as one built fast.
Redeem whenever you like. There is no minimum you have to save to.
What we do with the rest
The people who got us here were not customers first. They were the ones who told somebody else — usually a veteran telling another veteran, which is a kind of vouching you cannot buy.
Group Sesh is how we pay that back into the circle instead of into ad spend. Every dollar we are not handing to a platform to interrupt strangers is a dollar going to people who already vouched for us. That is not charity, it is just a better trade.
Beyond that: we are a veteran-owned company with roots in the Tampa Bay veteran community, and we are building toward something on the land in Beulah, Colorado. We would rather show that as it happens than promise it in advance. What we will say now is that the circle is meant to include the people who need it, not only the people who can spend.
The short version
Buy something, earn 5% back. Tell someone, earn from them too, for as long as they stay. Nobody pays to join and nobody earns from recruiting. If that sounds like it is missing a catch, read it again — there is not one.
Adults 21+. Battle Rations and Group Sesh are customer loyalty benefits, not a paid affiliate or sales programme — Rations are store credit only and have no cash value. Full terms are in our Terms of Service.
