South Jersey Adult-Use Dispensaries Currently Open

As of June 2022, there are currently only 6 recreational cannabis dispensaries open in South Jersey.

While that is certainly limited given the nearly 2 million residents who call South Jersey home, don’t worry as more dispensaries will be popping up later this year and in the years ahead.

Need some reassurance?

Look at a mature market like Colorado, where there are over 500+ recreational dispensaries throughout the state.

With that said, out of all the recreational dispensaries available in South Jersey, below are Cannabest’s top picks.

Curaleaf

Curaleaf is the largest cannabis company in the U.S. by market cap, operating in 23 states with 100+ dispensaries, handling both cultivation and retail. They currently operate three dispensaries in New Jersey, with Edgewater Park and Bellmawr offering both medical and recreational, while their Bordentown location currently only offers medical (although that’s expected to change this year).

Cannabis Products Available at Curaleaf

Both dispensaries offer flower, pre-rolls, vape cartridges, concentrates, edibles and tinctures upon availability.

Their offerings currently fluctuate based on availability as their medical patients receive first dibs.

All of their flower is cultivated in-house, while they also offer Verano vape cartridges and edibles.

Curaleaf sells both edibles and tinctures under their brand name Select.

Cannabist

Cannabist dispensaries are owned and operated by Columbia Care, who, similar to Curaleaf is also one of the largest cannabis companies in the U.S., currently operating in 18 states with 100+ dispensaries, handling both cultivation and retail.

They currently operate two dispensaries in New Jersey in Deptford and Vineland, both offering medical and adult-use.

The Botanist

The Botanist dispensaries are owned and operated by Acreage Holdings, which is a Canadian cannabis company who currently operates in the U.S. in 10 states with 28 dispensaries, handling both cultivation and retail.

They currently operate three dispensaries in New Jersey, with Williamstown and Egg Harbor Township offering both medical and recreational (adult-use), while their Atlantic City location currently only offers medical (although that’s expected to change this year too).

What to Expect at a South Jersey Dispensary

Given the limited availability of recreational dispensaries in New Jersey, you can expect wait times, particularly on the weekend.

That said, most of the dispensaries have been quick to move through the lines with the average wait time between 20-60 minutes. As more dispensaries open up later this year and into next year, wait times should begin to subside.

One of the biggest complaints of the New Jersey cannabis market currently is the pricing, given it’s quite high compared to other states and what you can find on the street.

Of course this is due to supply and demand with limited options, but again, as more dispensaries open up you can expect price competition to take hold and more affordable options to arise.

The average pricing currently is the following:

• Flower: $50-$60 [3.5g]
• Pre-Rolls: $18-$20 [1g]
• Vape Cartridges: $60-$65 [0.5g]
• Edibles: $30 [100mg 10 pk]

Every dispensary usually offers deals to move older products, so don’t be surprised if you see lower prices available. For flower, you can save by purchasing the smaller buds or shake if available. While supply is limited, there are solid options available to provide the safe quality you’re looking for.

Remember, you must be 21 years or older to purchase adult-use cannabis in New Jersey, with a limit of up to 1 ounce of dried flower, or 5 grams of concentrates (or concentrates in a solution), resins, or oils and other liquid forms, or 1000mg of ingestible products (10 100mg packages) like gummies. A purchase of a combination of products may be 1/2 ounce of dried flower plus 2 1/2 grams of concentrate, or 5 packages of gummies and 1/2 ounce of dried flower.
