If New Jersey legalizes recreational marijuana, a move that’s been discussed for months and has a new deadline, roughly 100 new cannabis cultivators would be needed, according to an estimate from state officials.
That’s in addition to the 35 or so growers needed to supply the expected expansion of the medical cannabis program.
According to radio station New Jersey 101.5, budget documents provided by the state health department estimate the recreational market would need about 2 million square feet of cannabis cultivation space.
