Cannabis regulators in New Jersey on Tuesday approved the first endorsements for on-site cannabis consumption. The four endorsements by the New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory Commission (NJ-CRC) were approved for High Rollers Dispensary and SunnyTien Dispensary, both located in Atlantic City; Gynsyng located in Merchantville; and URB’N Dispensary located in Newark.

All of the businesses are Diversely Owned Businesses – minority-owned, woman-owned, or disabled veteran-owned – as certified by the New Jersey Department of Treasury.

In a statement, Commission Chairwoman Dianna Houenou called the approvals “a major milestone in New Jersey’s cannabis industry.”

“These designated spaces provide consumers with safe and legal options for cannabis consumption. Whether individuals cannot consume cannabis inside their homes or simply wish to consume cannabis legally and responsibly, these areas provide a practical solution. We are proud to support this next phase of safe-use infrastructure in our state.” — Houenou in a press release

To receive a consumption area endorsement, applicants must first obtain municipal approval and meet specific facility, safety, and ventilation requirements. After obtaining state approval, the retailers need to pass a final site inspection before their consumption areas can open for business.

Cannabis consumption area applications in New Jersey opened January 2 for social equity designated businesses, April 2 for micro and Diversely-Owned businesses, and July 2 for all other operators.
