This Veteran’s Day, Smoke A Joint, And Save A Veteran’s Life

Helmand Valley Growers Company (HVGC), the military veteran owned and operated cannabis manufacturing company that gives 100% of its profits to the Battle Brothers Foundation in order to research the benefits of medical cannabis for veterans that are suffering from PTS and other medical conditions.

In honor of Veteran’s Day, Helmand Valley Growers Company (HVGC) will be joining forces with El Blunto in a special pop-up at Torrey Holistics to benefit the Battle Brothers Foundation. El Blunto has created limited-release lighters bearing the Battle Brother’s name in addition to a brand new pre-roll called Apple Pie. A portion of the sales of these items will go to benefit the foundation, while HVGC will be donating merch to veterans. The event will allow for fans of the brands, cannabis enthusiasts, and the canna curious to meet the HVGC and El Blunto teams and enjoy top notch cannabis while thoughtfully giving back to the veteran community.

El Blunto’s Apple Pie is an Indica dominant pre-roll, chocked full of 1.75 grams of top shelf indoor grown flower. Joining HVGC’s High THC premium pre-rolls, the teams have unwittingly created a “Band of Brother Blunts” that cannot be surpassed in quality or purpose. Since the war in the middle east began 20 years ago, around 7,000 soldiers have lost their lives in combat while over 30,000 have passed from suicide. Cannabis offers potential treatment to PTS and this shocking statistic, meaning every time you purchase a HVGC pre-roll or a joint of Apple Pie, you’re helping save a soldier’s life thanks to the brand’s donations.

See you there, San Diego!
