Veterans Holdings at the Herb’n Couture Luxury Networking Gala

On August 9th, Veterans Holdings joined the Herb’n Couture Luxury Networking Gala as a proud sponsor, celebrating the theme “Culture is Currency.” The evening brought together voices across cannabis—farmers, advocates, creators, and business leaders—united by a shared vision of building a more inclusive and equitable industry.

One of the most powerful moments of the night came when our founder took the stage. He spoke openly about his personal connection to the war on drugs, reflecting on how those policies devastated communities, tore apart families, and still echo through people’s lives today. It was a reminder that cannabis is not just an industry, but a space where justice and equity must always remain part of the conversation.

The Gala also served as an awards ceremony, recognizing the leaders who continue to push for fair access, equitable opportunity, and cultural representation within cannabis. Honoring these individuals underscored the importance of making sure progress in the industry does not leave behind those most affected by outdated laws and systemic inequities.

As the night wrapped, one message was clear: the work is far from over. Building a truly fair cannabis market requires continued commitment from everyone—brands, farmers, advocates, and consumers alike. Veterans Holdings remains dedicated to playing our part, amplifying the right voices, and standing alongside those who are shaping a future that reflects the values of equity, integrity, and respect.
