The New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory Commission has approved seven medical marijuana businesses to sell legal weed to adults over 21 years old, reported Asbury Park Press. Thirteen dispensaries total have municipal approval from the state as of Monday.
The seven companies approved by the commission include Acreage Holdings, Ascend New Jersey, Columbia Care, Curaleaf, Green Thumb Industries, TerrAscend and Verano Holdings. Per Asbury Park Press, the companies operate several centers that grow, manufacture and sell medical marijuana and 11 satellite dispensaries across NJ.
The CRC voted in March to allow medical marijuana dispensaries to begin selling recreationally.
More from Asbury Park Press:
As part of the approval, the approved medical marijuana dispensaries must implement safeguards to assure patients aren’t missing out, including setting aside products, scheduling at least 14 “patient only” hours per week and patient-specific checkout lanes.
