It has been a year and a half since New Jersey residents had voted to legalize the use of recreational marijuana in the state. The New Jersey State Commission has finally granted seven medical marijuana companies permission to start selling cannabis to all adults (21 and over) at the thirteen regulated dispensaries.

In addition, growers, laborers, and dispensaries will reap profits from this new venture.
