About us

This is what OG dealers, ex-cons, entrepreneurs, activists, and history in the making look like... Welcome to CONBUD. We are a dispensary, an interactive experience, and an opportunity for millions of cannabis consumers to confront and rewrite New York history. New York has one all-consuming habit: the systemic mass incarceration of Black and Latino individuals. During the War on Drugs, 85% of New York State’s prison population was Black and Latino with 75% of inmates across the State coming from just seven predominantly Black and Latino New York City neighborhoods. CONBUD was born by three Black and Latino entrepreneurs who were not only raised in these neighborhoods but who have also experienced New York’s criminal justice system firsthand.

    30+ attendees made the statement that -despite the cold - they’re gonna get their own piece of this industry! Thank you 40 Tons Brand for sharing this opportunity with our community. Shoutout to Edwin who called in from prison to share how important the work is to free prisoners and provide meaningful employment to those coming out.

    I make things happen with weed

    The more people who have been negatively impacted by the war on drugs that can participate in the next phase of legality the better. Deep pocketed VC’s should be at the back of the line. Ex law enforcement behind them. Whatever Curaleaf is should be waaaay back. Pharma shouldn’t be in line at all yet. And while creating a reparative industry is a priority- including the hustlers who took the early risks is the ONLY way to connect with the culture. Those same hustlers also know how to operate efficently, with integrity, and have the best network. So if it’s not about doing the right thing, maybe the bottom line will convince some of these operators in limited license states to stop gatekeeping. Their hold on the market is getting weaker as advocates for access grow stronger- just look at recent legislative wins for proof. Congrats to CONBUD NY for their opening and providing New Yorkers with the product and representation they deserve.

We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who joined us, supported us, and made it a day for the history books. As Coss said, “We selling a lot more than 2 nickel bags today.” These words echo the significance of his journey, transcending years in prison to get us here today. We’re eternally grateful for every smile, every handshake, and every connection we forged. It’s not just about the plant; it’s about the people, the stories, and the shared commitment to a brighter future. CONBUD is more than a dispensary; it’s a movement, a family, and a beacon of change.
