The state expects the industry to be worth $2bn a year soon
Well more than a year after voters said yes to legal weed, New Jersey is finally about to start getting high on its own supply.
The sites are located throughout the state, including the suburbs of New York City and Philadelphia. New York is expected to begin recreational sales sometime in 2023, while Pennsylvania only permits medical use. There are 130,000 medical marijuana patients in New Jersey, and the commission estimates roughly 800,000 potential recreational customers.
The law requires much of the state’s cannabis revenue to be invested in communities most harmed by the “war on drugs”. In 2018, black people were arrested more than three times as often as white people for marijuana offences despite similar usage rates, according to the American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey.
