Cannabis is legal in New Jersey, but there are rules. Understanding age limits, possession laws, and where you can (and can’t) consume is key to staying safe—and legal.

Why Buying Legal Matters. Purchasing cannabis from licensed NJ dispensaries ensures you’re getting products that are safe, tested, and regulated.

The New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory Commission (NJ-CRC) is the state agency responsible for overseeing the licensing, cultivation, testing, and sale of cannabis in New Jersey. Established to ensure the safe and regulated use of both medicinal and recreational cannabis, the NJ-CRC plays a critical role in the state’s cannabis industry.
