Rise Dispensaries have opened a medical marijuana dispensary in Paramus, making it the second Rise location in New Jersey.
Parent company Green Thumb Industries said the profits from the first day of sales will be donated to the Paramus Children's Health Foundation, which provides "financial support to families of children who suffer from a severe illness or injury that results in economic hardship."
The first Rise Dispensary opened in Paterson in December 2019. Recently, Paterson city officials received the first medical marijuana tax payment from Rise, collecting over $50,000, according to the Paterson Press.
