Vance Global history began in 2018 when the curiosity of two Milwaukee innovators, August Battles and Brandon Marhal, led to create a distinctive tasting CBD joints that could be sold at med shops, recreational shops, pharmacies, mom and pop gas stations, smoke shops, head shops, CBD stores, tobacco shops and grocery stores. They created a herbal blend, took it to their garage, where it was mixed with organic hemp flower and deemed “amazing” by those who smoked it. August Battles and Brandon Marhal are credited with naming the filtered CBD joints “Vances” as well as designing the trademark and distinct tag line “Smoke A Vance”.
