Our story

B-Noble was born from a powerful collaboration between hip-hop pioneer Fab 5 Freddy and Bernard Noble, whose story became a symbol of cannabis injustice in America. After creating the Netflix documentary "Grass Is Greener," Fab 5 Freddy was moved to take action beyond filmmaking. Bernard Noble's case epitomized everything wrong with cannabis prohibition – sentenced to 13 years of hard labor for possessing less than two joints' worth of cannabis, he served seven years before advocacy efforts secured his freedom in 2017.Launched on July 13, 2021 (7/13 representing the seven years Bernard served of his 13-year sentence), B-Noble partnered with Curaleaf to bring this cause-based brand to market. Since then, the brand has donated over $400,000 to support communities impacted by the War on Drugs and expanded operations to nine states across the US. In 2023, B-Noble made international headlines by acquiring Germany-based CanPharma, giving them access to distribute medical cannabis in the UK and EU markets. The brand continues Bernard's journey from victim to advocate, proving that cannabis businesses can drive meaningful social change.

Mission

B-Noble was founded to create legal funding to defend people from unjust, non-violent, cannabis-related prosecution. Their core mission is to inform, educate, and help repair damage done to countless victims of the 87-year War on Drugs, specifically those prosecuted for nonviolent cannabis offenses.The brand donates 10% of all proceeds to local organizations advancing social equity and providing opportunities to those directly impacted by cannabis criminalization. Through partnerships with organizations like The Bronx Defenders, Greenbook Academy, and MASS CultivatED, B-Noble has contributed over $400,000 toward community restoration and job training programs.They believe that as cannabis legalization progresses, the industry has a responsibility to ensure that those who suffered under prohibition are not forgotten. B-Noble represents a commitment to justice, education, and creating pathways for formerly incarcerated individuals to participate in the legal cannabis economy.
