New Jersey looking to add 6 medical marijuana dispensaries
New Jersey is seeking to double its number of medical marijuana dispensaries, Gov. Phil Murphy said Monday.
Murphy said in a statement that the state is requesting applications for six new dispensaries, up from the six that now operate in the state.
The program has grown under the Democratic governor, who has vowed to expand it. Officials say 10,000 new patients have become eligible under the program since January, bringing the total to 25,000.
