Basketball legend Carmelo Anthony is taking on a new role as a cannabis entrepreneur with the launch of his brand, StayMe70. Known for his prowess on the court, Anthony is now shifting focus to the growing cannabis industry, where he aims to merge wellness with a premium cannabis experience. With the brand’s ethos rooted in empowerment, balance, and recovery, Anthony’s goal is to provide a line of products that help people stay true to themselves—whether they are athletes, professionals, or wellness enthusiasts.
STAYME70, a play on Anthony’s iconic jersey number and his personal mantra of staying true to oneself, reflects his passion for holistic wellness. Throughout his NBA career, Anthony has spoken about the importance of mental and physical health, particularly for athletes who deal with the pressures of performance and recovery. With StayMe70, he hopes to create cannabis products that cater not only to recreational users but also those seeking relief from stress, pain, and inflammation. His brand was launched under Grand National, a cannabis-based agency.
Anthony’s entry into the cannabis industry is also part of a broader cultural shift, as more athletes and high-profile figures begin to embrace cannabis for its therapeutic benefits. He sees StayMe70 as an opportunity to educate people about the health advantages of cannabis while dispelling the lingering stigma around its use.
In a major move to promote his brand and its mission, Carmelo Anthony is scheduled to be on the main stage panel at the 2024 MJBizCon in Las Vegas, NV, one of the largest cannabis business trade shows in the world. This year’s event is expected to draw a record number of industry leaders, investors, and enthusiasts, providing Anthony with a global platform to showcase StayMe70. He plans to discuss the brand’s future, his personal journey with cannabis, and how StayMe70 aligns with the evolving cannabis landscape. His presence at MJ BizCon further shows his commitment to establishing himself as a serious player in the cannabis industry.
With a vision that extends beyond simple product sales, Carmelo Anthony aims to make StayMe70 a symbol of wellness, inclusivity, and self-empowerment. For those attending the 2024 MJBizCon, it’s clear that Carmelo is not only entering the cannabis space—he’s redefining it.
