Cannabis Corner stands as a proud CAURD-licensed dispensary, symbolizing a powerful turning point—not just for the community, but for the individuals and legacy it serves. Built on the foundation of second chances, it represents a new chapter for those impacted by past cannabis prohibition, providing opportunity, equity, and growth. At the same time, Cannabis Corner offers a modern, elevated shopping experience that honors the deep cultural roots of cannabis—from its underground history to its role in healing and creativity. Every aspect of the space blends innovation with tradition, creating a destination that respects where we’ve been while leading the way forward.
The founders of Cannabis Corner, Michael and James, are proud CAURD license holders whose deep roots in New York’s legacy cannabis market reflect both resilience and purpose. With firsthand experience of the harm caused by outdated marijuana laws, they are committed to turning that history into a force for good. Their journey is not just about building a business—it’s about creating a platform for justice, equity, and reinvestment in the communities most impacted by prohibition.
Michael brings decades of entrepreneurial experience, from running successful restaurants to leading a non-profit focused on re-entry and second chances. James, a highly skilled tradesman, is dedicated to building both physical spaces and opportunities for others, bringing precision, craftsmanship, and heart to every project. Together, they are using this new chapter to uplift others, advocate for change, and ensure that the voices of those historically silenced are finally heard and empowered.
