The cannabis industry has long been awaiting New Jersey to open up its adult use program. And finally, on February 22, 2021, eleven years since its medical cannabis program opened, New Jersey has finally opened the floodgates of adult use. And, according to The New York Times, the adult-use market is expected to generate a whopping $126 million per year in profits.

In a refreshing move, the State has established a diverse regulatory body, the New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory Commission. Its 5 members bring unique perspectives and oversight in an effort to ensure inclusivity in the industry. The official first meeting held by the CRC occurred on Monday, April 12th, where the Commission made note that it has a mere 6 months to develop its robust regulatory program and get adult-use sales up and running.
