NYC legal weed shop landed $7M in sales in 2024 - nearly two decades after the owner was locked up for selling marijuana
Briefly

Coss Marte turned his life around after a drug conviction, transitioning from prison to entrepreneurship, currently running a successful canna-business projected to earn $12 million this year.
Marte emphasizes hard work, stating, 'Everything that really made me where I'm at right now is showing up every single day and putting in that work.'
After New York legalized cannabis, Marte received a license, noting, 'I was following this law... Not many [entrepreneurs] have that to qualify for a cannabis license.'
Marte's dispensary, ConBud, stands out as one of Manhattan's first fully-licensed recreational cannabis sellers, reflecting a shift in the industry and personal redemption.
