Former NBA guard Iman Shumpert is releasing his own cannabis brand. Shumpert is partnering with Glenmere Farms cultivation company for the drop. Glenmere is run by Dr. Sha-Ron Pierre-Kovler, New York’s first Black woman with a cannabis cultivation license.
Dr. Pierre-Kovler is a South Jamaica, Queens native who saw the harm caused by the failed War on Drugs up close. Through her nonprofit, The Virtuous Women Organization Inc (501c3), Dr. Sha-Ron supports formerly incarcerated individuals and communities with historically high rates of cannabis arrests. In 2023, Dr. Pierre-Kovler told One37pm.com that she approaches research, “just like a trained sniper.” She added, “We go through years and decades of training to develop a sixth sense, and to think about things in a unique way. So I think outside the traditional methods of cultivating.” (courtesy of TSA APPROVED)
Dr. Pierre-Kovler teamed up with NBA Champion Shumpert to launch TSA APPROVED, a premium cannabis brand, with an in-store takeover at TORCHES by Polanco Brothers Dispensary on Friday, April 11th, 2025, from 3:00 PM to 10:00 PM.
Located at 42nd Street and 5th Avenue in Manhattan, this marks the first stop on TSA APPROVED’s New York dispensary tour. The event will feature the debut of two premium strains: “Jet Lag” (Indica-dominant hybrid) and “Frequent Flyer” (Sativa), both priced at an accessible $50 per eighth to ensure premium cannabis is available to all consumers.
“TSA APPROVED is about providing premium quality cannabis at an accessible price point. We’re focused on patient access and creating products that deliver a consistent, premium experience without the premium markup.”
Iman Shumpert
For Shumpert, the legal brand also represents growth from one of the most challenging moment of his NBA career. In 2022, Shumpert was arrested after TSA reportedly found six ounces of cannabis in his luggage. The name TSA APPROVED flips the unfortunate incident into an inspiring one for legacy cannabis users like Shumpert, who have had their freedom and employment challenged simply for using the plant.

Join TORCHES and Leafly for the TSA APPROVED debut April 11
For Shumpert, Dr. Pierre-Kovler, and the TORCHES team, this launch is important for lighting the way for others like us to partake in this growing industry,” said Dr. Pierre-Kovler. The April 11 dispensary takeover at TORCHES will include TSA APPROVED branded merchandise, exclusive meet-and-greet opportunities with Shumpert, and a special raffle where customers who purchase TSA APPROVED products can win autographed Knicks memorabilia.
The Knicks Film School podcast will also be on-site for a special segment with Shumpert, connecting with New York basketball fans while introducing them to his cannabis venture. TSA APPROVED products feature indoor-grown premium cannabis with complete testing certification. Each unit includes an accessible Certificate of Analysis that confirms the product’s quality and safety standards on the label.
Following the TORCHES launch, TSA APPROVED plans to expand to additional dispensaries throughout New York State, creating a series of branded takeover experiences that bring premium cannabis to communities across the region and provide a safe landing for cannabis consumers.
