According to NJ.com, the state’s Cannabis Regulatory Commission on Friday announced the permit winners, a mixture of 10 cultivation and four manufacturing licenses.
All 14 licenses went to companies owned by minorities or women:
- Hillview Med
- CYOURNJ
- GSCC Management
- NJ Nectar Ventures
- Noble Valley Harvest Co.
- Green Medicine NJ
- ZY Labs
- The NAR Group
- Bloom Medicinals of PA
- Garden State Releaf
- Etain NJ
- Altus New Jersey
- Holistic NJ
- Greenhouse Wellness of NJ
The expansion is a partial culmination of a plan that began in 2019 to expand New Jersey’s relatively small MMJ market, which currently has only 23 dispensaries to serve 117,000 registered patients in the state.
