Phillipsburg

"We are pleased to receive our cultivation permit in New Jersey after a rigorous inspection of our facility and operating procedures by the NJ DOH," said Jason Ackerman , Executive Chairman of TerrAscend. "Achieving this important regulatory milestone indicates that the TerrAscend model of compliance, quality and safety resonates with state regulatory agencies. Bringing safe and effective products to patients is our priority, and we look forward to introducing the TerrAscend house of brands to the state's medical-use patients."

The Phillipsburg Planning Board approved plans for a proposed marijuana dispensary Thursday. The dispensary may open on South Main Street by year's end.

The Apothecarium, owned by TerrAscend Corp. of Toronto, will occupy the vacant Phillipsburg Trust Company building at 55 S. Main St. Only New Jersey residents with prescriptions from state-approved physicians will be able to buy marijuana products there. The marijuana will be grown in Boonton, Morris County.

Granite countertops? Pendant lights? Chandeliers? If Phillipsburg’s medical marijuana dispensary is like others in the chain, it’s going to be a classy storefront when it opens by year’s end.

The Apothecarium has locations in San Francisco and Las Vegas. In 2017, Architectural Digest ranked one storefront among the seven best-designed marijuana shops in the country.

So how will Phillipsburg – a blue-collar town of 14,500 people on New Jersey’s western border – end up with the first East Coast location of this swanky pot shop?

When the first medical marijuana prescriptions are sold in Warren County, it will be out of an old bank on Main Street Phillipsburg.

For its commercial front, the NETA NJ has closed a sale on the former Phillipsburg Trust Co. building at 55 S. Main St. The closing was confirmed Wednesday by both the town council president and a director for the Ewing-based company.

NETA NJ’s proposal for a Phillipsburg dispensary was one of six given the green light last month by the state health department.

"Six very strong applicants were selected, including minority-owned and women-owned businesses," Health Commissioner Shereef Elnahal said. "We'll meet with them early next year to refine their timetable for growing product and opening their doors."

The entities listed below have received initial approval from the Department of Health for their applications to operate an alternative treatment center.

An approved application does not comprise a license, permit or other approval to open and operate an alternative treatment center. Permission to operate is granted to successful applicants only after DOH completes a series of reviews and inspections of their facilities, procedures and products.

The 146 applications were reviewed by a six-person committee consisting of four DOH representatives and one each from the Departments of Agriculture and Treasury. Their expertise included medical marijuana, ATC regulation, lab testing, plant science, diversity and procurement. Prior to scoring the applications, committee members received implicit bias training from the state’s Chief Diversity Officer to ensure an impartial selection process.
