New Jersey may pump gas for you–but you don’t want any of the “gas” inside those dispensaries.
It is not legal to buy real cannabis (containing THC) from gas stations in New Jersey. While cannabis has been legalized for recreational use in the state, only licensed dispensaries are authorized to sell cannabis products. These dispensaries ensure that all products, including flower, edibles, and concentrates, are lab-tested, regulated, and safe for consumption.
What about products like Delta-9 and THCa?
You may occasionally find products labeled as Delta-9 or THCa at unregulated locations like gas stations or convenience stores. These products often exploit legal loopholes to exist in the market, but they are not the same as the cannabis sold in licensed dispensaries. Many of these items are poorly regulated, untested, and could pose safety risks.
Why shop at a licensed dispensary?
- Safety and Quality: All cannabis sold at licensed dispensaries is rigorously lab-tested to ensure potency and that it’s free of harmful chemicals, mold, or pesticides.
- Education: Trained budtenders at dispensaries can guide you to products that meet your specific needs.
- Support Your Community: By shopping at licensed dispensaries, you’re supporting a regulated cannabis market and contributing to tax revenue in your state.
Avoid Illegal or Sketchy Purchases
Purchasing cannabis from gas stations or other unregulated sources not only poses health risks but could also lead to legal complications. Always ensure you’re buying from a licensed dispensary in New Jersey to enjoy the safest and best experience possible.
