“We are actively working to set a fair and equitable table,”  said Commissioner Charles Baker. “We need you to come hungry and ready to eat.”

Barker said it is open “especially for brothers and sisters and communities impacted by the War on Drugs.”

Surprisingly, The NJ Cannabis Regulatory Commission delayed approving the expansion of eight medical marijuana dispensaries to start selling recreational weed in New Jersey as soon as late April.

The expansion of the eight alternative treatment centers to begin selling weed, expected by industry experts, was put on hold as NJCRC Executive Director Jeff Brown said the commission wants better planning on how to accommodate both medical marijuana patients and those seeking to buy recreational cannabis.

Brown said the centers don’t have enough weed, contending the market may be short by 100,000 pounds to meet medical and recreational populations.
