New Jersey is expecting to at least double its medical cannabis patient registration, from about 20,000 to 40,000 or even 50,000, the state’s health commissioner said Tuesday.
Such numbers would almost certainly be a boon to the six existing dispensaries in New Jersey, as well as those that may win business licenses under an expansion that could allow for almost 100 MMJ dispensaries.
According to NorthJersey.com, the commissioner is so bullish on a planned expansion of New Jersey’s MMJ program that he believes the patient count will increase dramatically even if the Legislature legalizes adult-use marijuana – as many observers expect it to.
