When trying cannabis for the first time, it’s crucial to understand that it’s not a one-size-fits-all experience. There are numerous consumption forms and strain combinations that can affect how cannabis is used and its effects on you. Determine your cannabis goals, such as seeking euphoria, relaxation, pain relief, or anxiety relief, and conduct research in advance to find products that align with your needs. Knowledgeable Cannabis Advisors at the dispensary can assist you once you’re there.
In New Jersey, legal cannabis purchases are limited to licensed dispensaries or alternative treatment centers. Buying cannabis from individuals or growing your own supply is illegal. However, you can legally purchase from a dispensary and gift up to an ounce of cannabis to another adult. It’s important to note that the gift should not involve compensation through favors or money.
In New Jersey, individuals who are 21 years old and above, regardless of whether they have a medical card, can now legally purchase cannabis. This rule applies to both residents of New Jersey and visitors from other states.
Individuals under the age of 21 are prohibited from using or possessing cannabis, unless they are registered New Jersey medical patients with a qualifying condition. To be eligible, they must have approval from a physician registered with the state and be registered and approved by the New Jersey Medicinal Cannabis Program (NJMCP).
Upon arrival, you will be required to present a government-issued photo ID to verify that you are 21 or older. Once granted access, you have the freedom to explore the available products and seek assistance from the staff. After confirming your ID again, the budtender will finalize your purchase, and you will make the payment. The products you receive will be sealed in a container, which should remain sealed until you arrive home with your purchase.
