It seems like just yesterday that many New Jersey residents had to drive over an hour to the nearest marijuana dispensary.
Compared to many of the other 21 states that have legalized weed, the Garden State’s 29 dispensaries seem like a pittance. In the state of Massachusetts, for example, there are about 400 dispensaries. But compared to even three years ago, the places are more than four times.
According to the New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory Commission, nearly $139 million worth of marijuana was sold statewide in the second quarter of 2022, including nearly $80 million in recreational sales. And there are another 116,000 registered medical marijuana patients in New Jersey.
Under New Jersey’s marijuana legalization laws, you can only purchase up to 1 ounce of cannabis — 4 grams of concentrates or oils or 1,000 milligrams of edibles — at a time. And remember: It’s still a felony to transport cannabis across state lines — yes, even to and from New York, where weed is already legal.
more:NJ Weedman is finally licensed to sell legal weed. He almost said no thanks.
The number of dispensaries—and whether or not they’re open to recreational marijuana users—changes quickly, here’s a simple guide to follow. Hours are subject to change, including hours that are only for medical marijuana patients, so be sure to check ahead of time.
