LOS ANGELES- Former NBA player Iman Shumpert has launched a cannabis brand, TSA APPROVED, in partnership with Glenmere Farms, a licensed cannabis producer in New York. The brand aims to offer high-quality cannabis products while contributing to the state’s regulated market.

Shumpert’s entry into the cannabis industry follows a broader shift in professional sports, including the NBA’s removal of cannabis from its banned substances list. The launch of TSA APPROVED aligns with the growing acceptance of cannabis in wellness and recreational markets.

Glenmere Farms, led by molecular biologist Dr. Sha-Ron Pierre-Kovler, focuses on precision cultivation techniques to optimize product quality. The partnership with Shumpert integrates his public influence with the farm’s scientific approach to cannabis production.

New York’s legal cannabis market, which has exceeded $1 billion in sales, is projected to reach $7.5 billion by 2030. Shumpert’s brand seeks to establish a presence within this expanding industry.

The launch of TSA APPROVED adds to the increasing number of athletes and public figures engaging in the regulated cannabis sector. Shumpert has stated that his goal is to support consumer education and normalize cannabis use within legal frameworks.
