A medical marijuana facility to be located on Route 22 in Union was unanimously approved by the Planning Board at a recent meeting.
Compassionate Care Research Institute, LLC, doing business as Garden State Dispensary, will be located at 2536 Route 22 East. According to testimony at the Planning Board meeting, Compassionate Care’s Woodbridge site is currently one of only six alternative treatment centers licensed by the State of New Jersey to dispense medical marijuana to patients.
The one-story building, at the intersection of Route 22 East and Monroe Street, was previously a furniture store. In May 2018, the New Jersey Department of Health issued an approval for this site to be used for a medical marijuana dispensary.
