“Do you want to be known as a former NBA player who’s now in the cannabis business or a cannabis business leader who used to be an NBA player?”
Al Harrington didn’t hesitate before answering.
“A cannabis business leader who used to be in the NBA,” responded the Elizabeth native, former first round NBA draft pick and 16-year veteran who is now a marijuana entrepreneur with his sights set on a homecoming.
Harrington is the co-founder of Viola Brands, a top-selling national brand in the cannabis industry and is part of Simply Pure New Jersey’s application for one of six Alternative Treatment Center licenses that will be awarded by the New Jersey Department of Health in November.
