Carmelo Anthony Launches Cannabis Brand STAYME7O in New York

Carmelo Anthony is bringing his cannabis brand STAYME7O (that’s “Stay Melo”) and agency Grand National to New York this month.

“I’m excited to be launching the debut of STAYME7O in New York,” Anthony said. “New York is home, and bringing this project to life here feels incredibly personal and full circle. This isn’t just about cannabis—it’s about empowering our communities, uplifting underserved entrepreneurs, and creating meaningful opportunities that support and celebrate our culture.”

Melo’s working with minority-owned dispensaries and businesses to make sure the people who’ve been shut out get in.

The brand had a strong run in Oregon. Now, it’s New York’s turn.

A cut of the money goes to NuProject and the Last Prisoner Project, both fighting for real change in the cannabis world.

“It’s essential we open doors and create meaningful opportunities for these communities,” Melo said.

“Officially launching in New York…enjoy the product”
