Overview
New Jersey voters approved recreational cannabis legalization in November 2020, with retail sales beginning in April 2022. As of January 2026, New Jersey operates a mature dual medical and recreational cannabis program with hundreds of dispensaries statewide.
Adults 21+ can legally purchase cannabis from licensed dispensaries without a medical card. Medical patients with valid New Jersey medical marijuana cards enjoy tax benefits, higher possession limits, and priority access at dispensaries. Home cultivation remains illegal for both recreational and medical users.
New Jersey's cannabis market has exploded since 2022, with licenses issued to cultivators, manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and delivery services across the state. Competition has driven prices down and quality up. The state ranks among the top five U.S. markets by sales volume.
Prices in New Jersey average $10-14 per gram for flower, with eighths ranging $30-50. New Jersey charges a 6.625% sales tax plus local taxes (up to 2%) on recreational purchases. Medical patients with valid cards avoid sales tax and local taxes, paying only a reduced rate.
Delivery is legal statewide for both medical and recreational customers where local ordinances permit. Public consumption remains illegal—use only in private residences.
How Access & Delivery Work
Cannabis delivery is legal in New Jersey for both medical and recreational customers where local municipalities permit it. Licensed delivery services operate across most of the state with online ordering, real-time tracking, and scheduled delivery windows.
Delivery drivers verify age (21+ for recreational, valid medical card for medical purchases) and check ID at drop-off. Payments typically include cash, debit, and increasingly credit cards as banking access improves.
Delivery times vary by location and demand, typically ranging 1-3 hours. Same-day delivery is standard in urban areas. Some services offer scheduled delivery for specific time windows.
Product Guides
Cannabis flower is widely available at New Jersey dispensaries in indica, sativa, and hybrid varieties. Quality has improved dramatically since 2022 as more cultivators enter the market. New Jersey cultivators like Verano, Curaleaf, Ascend, Harmony, and Breakwater produce popular strains. Focus on freshness, terpene profiles, and lab testing results rather than just THC percentage.
Vape cartridges and disposables are extremely popular in New Jersey for convenience and discretion. Top brands include Rythm, Select, PAX Era, Curaleaf, and Kind Tree. Both live resin (more flavorful, full-spectrum) and distillate (higher THC, cleaner) options available. Standard 510-thread cartridges fit most batteries.
Pre-rolled joints are available at virtually all New Jersey dispensaries. Options range from budget shake pre-rolls ($5-10) to premium whole-flower and infused pre-rolls ($15-25). Brands like Verano, Rythm, and Curaleaf produce popular pre-rolls.
Edibles in New Jersey include gummies, chocolates, baked goods, mints, and beverages. Popular brands include Wana, Camino, incredibles, 1906, and Mindy's. Dosing typically ranges 5mg-10mg per serving. New Jersey regulations require child-resistant packaging and clear labeling. Start with 5mg if new to edibles and wait 90+ minutes before consuming more.
Cannabis-infused beverages are growing rapidly in New Jersey. Brands like Keef, Wana Quick, and Binske offer low-dose drinks (2.5mg-10mg THC) with faster onset than traditional edibles. Popular for social consumption as alcohol alternatives.
Concentrates including wax, shatter, live resin, rosin, and budder are available for experienced consumers. New Jersey brands like Harmony, Verano, and Rythm produce quality concentrates. High potency (60-90% THC) requires specialized equipment like dab rigs or concentrate vaporizers.
Tinctures and oils provide precise sublingual dosing. Popular among medical patients for consistent medication schedules. Effects begin in 15-45 minutes. Allows exact dose measurement with droppers.
Topical cannabis products for localized relief without psychoactive effects. Available as balms, lotions, patches, and salves from brands like Mary's Medicinals and Apothecanna. Good for pain, inflammation, and skin conditions.
