AG Grewal sent cease-and-desist letters to several cannabis delivery/gifting businesses who’ve sprung up since last November when NJ voters legalized cannabis. So seven months later, and Trenton lawmakers (and regulators) have yet to demonstrate what the path to legalization looks like in NJ. How long are we supposed to wait for Trenton to carry out the very loud demands of NJ voters?
Now in the meantime, the Attorney General is going after pot businesses who are filling the vacuum created by Trenton’s ongoing lack of leadership on marijuana. .
It goes something like this: You simply ring ’em up, order some very expensive munchies which they’ll deliver along with “free pot”- a gift with purchase – along with your munchie treats. Their gifting menu includes edibles which still are not available at NJ dispensaries.
My friend and press colleague Amy Z. Quinn heard a radio ad for Sky High Munchines, one of the targets of the AG’s letter. Ms. Quinn tried it out and then wrote about it for NJ.com:
“The whole experience was as normal as the Whole Foods order that arrived a few hours later, and about as pricey. Total bill: A hefty $275, including $50 delivery fee. The transaction, confirmed by phone and with an emailed receipt, felt as safe as ordering a pizza. Best of all, I’m not driving around with weed in the car, a risk I assume is factored into the delivery cost.”
