New Jersey gets its nickname, the Garden State, from a long history of agricultural advertisem*nts enticing farmers to settle and plant their crops. Today, New Jersey has a different kind of garden growing since medical dispensaries opened across the state in 2021 and expanded into adult-use in 2022. The state’s stance on cannabis legalization has marked a significant step forward for New Jersey, creating a new and rapidly-growing business market for cannabis companies and entrepreneurs. So, knowing which dispensaries are known for offering great deals and excellent customer experience is a helpful way to find a dispensary.
To help narrow your choices, our dispensary experts have analyzed dispensary reviews from real people on Leafly to create this guide to the best dispensaries in New Jersey.
