Viola Brands: Elevating Cannabis Culture with Quality and Purpose
At Village Brands, we’re proud to feature Viola Brands, a trailblazing cannabis company founded by Al Harrington, former NBA player for the Denver Nuggets, and his brother Dan. Launched in 2011, Viola Brands has become the largest Black-owned cannabis brand, known for producing premium products that combine quality, consistency, and purpose.
The story of Viola Brands is one of compassion and inspiration. When Al Harrington learned that his grandmother, Viola, was suffering from glaucoma and high blood pressure, he encouraged her to try cannabis. Despite initial resistance, Viola gave it a chance and experienced instant relief. This transformative moment sparked Al’s vision to create a brand that could bring the same aid and comfort to others in need.
Empowering Communities and Enriching Lives
From its inception, Viola Brands has been dedicated to more than just producing exceptional cannabis products. The company’s mission is deeply rooted in empowering Black and Brown communities, creating generational wealth, and providing access to life-changing cannabis solutions. By focusing on servicing individuals with serious medical conditions like cancer and HIV, Viola Brands demonstrates its commitment to making a positive impact on people’s lives.
Over the years, Viola Brands has expanded its reach from the early days of medical cannabis in Colorado to the thriving recreational markets across the United States. As of 2020, the brand has successfully launched in over 12 different states and even ventured into the Canadian market. This growth is a testament to the quality and consistency that define Viola Brands’ products, as well as the strong relationships they’ve built within the cannabis community.
Curating a Wide Variety of Premium Strains
At the heart of Viola Brands’ success is their meticulous cultivation process. With over a decade of experience in producing ultra-premium indoor flower, the Viola team takes pride in curating a diverse range of strains that are aromatic, smooth, and truly unique. Each strain is carefully selected and grown to ensure maximum potency, flavor, and effectiveness, catering to the discerning tastes and needs of cannabis enthusiasts and patients alike.
Whether you’re seeking a stimulating sativa to boost creativity and focus or a soothing indica to unwind and relax, Viola Brands has you covered. Their extensive lineup includes legendary strains like GMO, Super Lemon Haze, and Member Berry, as well as exclusive proprietary genetics that showcase the brand’s innovative spirit. By constantly pushing the boundaries of cultivation techniques and exploring new crosses, Viola Brands stays at the forefront of the ever-evolving cannabis landscape.
