More dispensaries, higher sales for state’s recreational weed market – Courier Post

It’s not just customers getting high in New Jersey’s market for recreational cannabis.

Sales are soaring, too.

Statewide, recreational weed revenues topped $201 million in this year’s first quarter, up by 38 percent from a year earlier, according to New Jersey’s Cannabis Regulatory Commission.

What’s more, dispensaries enjoyed “historically high” sales during the 4/20 cannabis holiday, which this year was a three-day event, the commission said.

“New Jersey is only seeing the beginning of what is possible for cannabis” said Jeff Brown, the commission’s executive director.
