10 Best Dispensaries in New Jersey

New Jersey has long lived in the shadow of its neighboring State just South.  New Jersey sits across the Hudson River from Lower Manhattan, home to Wall Street, the finance capital of the world.  Few would guess that the Garden State, is actually the most densely populated State in the Nation.  And even less would have guessed that New Jersey would move faster than New York to allow adult use cannabis and recreational dispensaries.

Jersey is known for it Shore (not the TV show but that too), and Mob ties.  But we don't talk about that.

Medical cannabis and dispensaries in Trenton have been legal in New Jersey since 2017.  Now, and since April 21, 2021, all adults have access to weed from recreational dispensaries.  Kudos to New Jersey for a great move that will benefit not just its residents, but also New Yorkers and Philadelphians looking for legal weed nearby.  A true bada-bing for State tax coffers!

There there is no proof Tony Soprano has anything to do with the dispensaries in Clifton. On paper.

Besides State licensed dispensaries, New Jersey residents can also buy Delta-8 from local smoke-shops and CBD dispensaries.  Or they can buy CBD, D8 and other legal hemp-derived cannabinoids from online dispensaries.

More good news- weed delivery in Newark, Jersey City, and throughout the State is also legal. There are at least as many options for legal weed in New Jersey, as there are anywhere in the world.  Bud did the hard work of looking into all these Dispensary, Delivery, and Online options.  Here are out thoughts on the best dispensaries in New Jersey.
