The number of legal cannabis growers in the state will more than double after regulators on Friday issued new licenses designed to ease crippling supply issues for medical marijuana patients and push the state closer to legal weed sales for all adults.
The New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory Commission on Friday voted 4 to 1 to issue 10 new licenses for medical marijuana cultivators and four new licenses for vertically integrated businesses, which grow, manufacture and sell medical marijuana at dispensaries.
The cultivation licenses were awarded to:
- Hillview Med (North Jersey)
- CYOUR NJ LLC (North Jersey)
- NJ Nectar Ventures (Central Jersey)
- Noble Valley Harvest Company (Central Jersey)
- Green Medicine NJ (Central Jersey)
- The NAR Group (Central Jersey)

The four vertically integrated licenses were awarded to:
- Etain NJ (North Jersey)
