Veteran Owned Cannabis Business

The first service-disabled veteran and Latino-owned dispensary in New Jersey is open for business.

A group wants to bring an "extremely unique" medicinal cannabis dispensary and wellness center targeted for veterans to the county seat.

Timory Ridall, of Montgomery, told the Borough Council on March 27 that the group, Four Leaf, wants to bring "the first of its kind" facility to Flemington.

Ridall, who said the principals of the group are all women, said the facility would offer a "restorative and peaceful environment" where wellness is an important goal.
