Veterans of Foreign Wars Partnering with Hemp Beverage Brand on THC Drinks 

The Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) is partnering with Torch Drinks LLC to
put the company’s hemp-derived THC beverages in VFW Posts where cannabis is
legal for adult use. The licensing agreement will also see VFW-branded,
Torch-produced THC beverages, the proceeds of which will directly
support VFW initiatives such as the National Veterans Service program,
which provides no-cost assistance to veterans navigating the Veterans
Administration (VA) claims process, and Veterans & Military Support
Programs, which deliver financial assistance to military families.

In a statement, VFW National Commander Carol Whitmore said the partnership
will help the VFW “raise funds for those vital programs” while also
allowing the organization “to explore better ways to meet the needs of an
evolving veterans’ community.”

“The VFW’s top priority is ensuring that veterans and their families
receive the care, benefits and support they have earned through their
service. — Whitmore in a press release

Collin Kerrigan, co-founder of Torch Beverage Company, said in a statement
the partnership is part of the company’s “mission to support the men and
women who serve the United States in uniform while promoting ongoing
research and discussions about innovative health solutions.”

“Torch Drinks is proud to work with the VFW to provide veterans with a
safe, federally compliant, social alternative that is like none other,”
Kerrigan said.

The products are expected to be available at select VFW posts this
year alongside education programs and responsible-use initiatives tailored
for veterans and their families.
