The New Jersey Department of Health this week issued permits allowing Zen Leaf Elizabeth (Verano NJ) in Elizabeth and Columbia Care in Vineland to begin dispensing medical marijuana. This brings the total number of operating dispensaries in the state to 11.
βIt is critical that we continue to expand access for patients especially during these unprecedented times,β Health Commissioner Judith Persichilli said. β The availability of these new ATCs will provide residents in the northern and southern parts of the state better access to products they need to treat their conditions.β
Zen Leaf Elizabeth is set to open Friday, May 29 and Columbia Care will open in early June.
