New Jersey's weed-friendly political climate is also luring prospective growers like Ohio-based Galenas LLC. The company's president, Geoff Korff, hopes to lease property from Gloucester Township.
"Under Gov. (Phil) Murphy, we’ve seen a new rejuvenation and renewed interest in the industry in getting medical cannabis to patients that need it," said Korff, an attorney whose company is building a cultivation facility in Ohio.

The number of patients registered in New Jersey's medical marijuana program more than doubled since January to 33,531 people.
