New Jersey Dispensaries
Both medical and recreational use of cannabis are legal in New Jersey.
In January 2010, New Jersey legalized medical marijuana under the Compassionate Use Medical Marijuana Act (CUMMA). Several years later, on February 22, 2021, the legalization of recreational marijuana was followed by the signing of the New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory, Enforcement Assistance, and Marketplace Modernization Act.
The act also decriminalizes possessing and using small quantities of cannabis, and it removes marijuana from the Schedule I drug category. However, there are important considerations for buying or smoking cannabis in New Jersey.
You must be 21 or older to purchase, possess, or use cannabis in New Jersey. The legal possession limit is six ounces. You can also gift someone up to one ounce of weed, but you cannot sell it.
You can’t smoke weed in public, which includes concert venues, amusement parks, or other public areas. Cannabis is still not legal at the federal level, so you can’t use or possess cannabis on federal lands like national parks and forests.
Research the cannabis policies of the places you plan to stay. You can use cannabis on private property in New Jersey, but you’ll need to check the rules set by property owners. Some owners may ban its use. Renters may have restrictions on using cannabis in their homes.
Cultivating cannabis at home, even for individuals with a medical marijuana license, isn’t allowed in New Jersey, unlike in some other states. Growing just one marijuana plant is a crime in the state and can cost you a heavy fine and lengthy imprisonment.
So, if you want to get high in New Jersey, you’ll need to visit a dispensary. To find a licensed cannabis retailer near you in New Jersey, use our dispensary search.
