TRENTON – Twelve cannabis dispensaries across New Jersey opened for adult-use sales for the first time Thursday morning. While lines were long in some locations, the New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory Commission has had to investigate only a few minor complaints. No significant patient access issues or supply shortages have been reported.
Recreational cannabis customers in New Jersey are now able to buy up to 1 ounce of dried flower or up to 5 grams of concentrates, resins, or oils, or 10 100mg packages of ingestible items in a single transaction.
“We encourage everyone to be safe by buying only from licensed dispensaries and by starting low and going slow – especially those who are new to cannabis or who haven’t consumed cannabis in a long time,” says NJ-CRC executive director Jeff Brown. “Also, remember that the laws against impaired driving apply to being high. Our guests from neighboring states should remember it is illegal to transport cannabis across state lines.”
