“New York is home, and bringing this project to life here feels incredibly personal and full circle,” said Anthony, who was born in Brooklyn and starred on the Knicks from 2010-2017. “This isn’t just about cannabis — it’s about empowering our communities, uplifting underserved entrepreneurs, and creating meaningful opportunities that support and celebrate our culture.”

The products are processed by FlowerHouse, a licensed cannabis company and partner in the brand’s rollout.
