CONBUD NY

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.
