I am a cancer survivor, a patient and an applicant since 2019 for a retail marijuana dispensary. I have become increasingly frustrated with New Jersey’s cannabis regulatory climate.
My friend Will Sirois, who is part of the Bloom Wellness venture, recently lived in California. He was accustomed to a state that has ample cultivators and dispensaries to supply a full-fledged recreational market. Here on the East Coast, we are far behind. At the current rate, it will take years to build up to a sustainable market. With the trajectory we’re on, things are not very promising.
