How to Search and Filter the Business Directory on njlegalize.me

The njlegalize.me Business Directory lists hundreds of New Jersey cannabis businesses across a wide range of categories. Whether you're looking for a specific dispensary, a cannabis attorney, a delivery service, or a doctor who certifies medical patients, the Directory has search and filter tools to help you zero in quickly.

Step 1: Start at the Directory Homepage

Go to njlegalize.me/directory. The Directory homepage shows all top-level business categories — Dispensaries, Medical Doctors, Cannabis Attorneys, Delivery Services, Testing Labs, and more — each with a count of how many businesses are listed in that category.

Click a category tile to see the businesses within it.

Step 2: Use Subcategories to Narrow Your Search

Many categories have subcategories. For example, within Dispensaries you might find subcategories for Recreational, Medical, or Delivery-only. The subcategory filter appears as a row of options at the top of the listing — click one to show only businesses in that subcategory. Click All to clear the subcategory filter.

Step 3: Search by Business Name

Use the Search text box in the left filter panel to look up a specific business by name. Results update as you type and submit. If you're not sure of the exact name, try a partial match — searching "green" will return any business with "green" in its name within the current category.

Step 4: Filter by City

Use the City dropdown to limit results to businesses in a specific New Jersey city. Only cities that have listings in the current category will appear in the dropdown, so the list stays relevant. Select a city and the page will refresh with filtered results.

Step 5: Sort the Results

The Sort dropdown lets you choose how results are ordered:

  • Rating — businesses with higher Google ratings appear first
  • Name (A–Z) — alphabetical order by business name

Sorting by Rating is useful when you want the highest-reviewed option in a category. Sorting by Name is handy when you're scanning for a specific business you already know.

Clearing Filters

At the bottom of the filter panel, there's a Clear Filters link that resets all active filters and returns you to the full category listing. Use this if you want to start a fresh search within the same category.

Tips for Finding What You Need

  • If you don't find a business in one category, check related categories — some businesses operate across multiple types
  • Featured businesses (Premium and Elite subscribers) appear at the top of listings with additional visibility
  • If a business you're looking for isn't listed, you can request it be added
