NJ-CRC Approves 26 Licenses, Two Consumption Areas

TRENTON – The New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory Commission (NJ-CRC) advanced several actions during its September 10 public meeting. The board's actions included license applications approvals that grow the state’s regulated cannabis industry and expand access for consumers.

The Commission granted five conditional-to-annual license conversions, five new annual licenses, and 16 annual license renewals across retail, manufacturing, and delivery business classes.

The NJ-CRC also approved two new cannabis consumption area endorsements, for Everest Dispensary in Atlantic City and Molly Ann Farms in Haledon. These approvals add to the four endorsements granted earlier this summer for facilities in Atlantic City, Merchantville, and Newark. Consumption areas provide adults 21 and over with safe, regulated spaces to use cannabis products, addressing the needs of renters, tourists, and others without private access.
