“Today marks another progressive step in our efforts to make New Jersey’s medical and adult-use cannabis market the best in the country. Our congratulations to the over 100 conditional and annual license awardees.

“We applaud the CRC for its deliberate approach to developing New Jersey’s newest industry. We recognize there is still much to do, however, we are getting there one step at a time. The combined efforts of the public and private sectors to ensure diversity, responsibility, and eventually profitability for New Jersey–based businesses is within our reach.”

“Each day brings more positive developments in the cannabis cause. Expanding and actually encouraging research into cannabis-derived medications is a commonsense measure that will better the lives of countless individuals. Moreover, it is a great step forward in the continued normalization of the growth and usage of cannabis.

“Hopefully this is a sign of more positive developments to come, including passage of the SAFE Banking Act and removing cannabis as a Schedule 1 substance. In the meantime, we look forward to President Biden signing this legislation.”

“First and foremost, we want to congratulate all of today’s license awardees. This is a momentous day for them and for the state as we move closer to the kind of thriving cannabis market New Jersey is capable of.

“Today’s events are even more special for us because several awardees were watching from our “Cannabis Connection 2022” event. To be with them as they received the good news was a great feeling. We were honored to, in essence, host the very first NJCRC watch party. Congratulations again to all of today’s awardees. We look forward to the next round of progress.”

TRENTON, NJ — The New Jersey CannaBusiness Association (NJCBA), the state’s premiere cannabis trade association, is hosting a unique forum for applicants to meet and establish cannabis business relationships. The event, “Cannabis Connection 2022,” will mix license holders with current applicants in both the traditional networking reception style but also in a round robin type format that will allow all participants equal time to get to know one another.

“We wanted to provide a setting where the conversations between attendees were structured in a way to add real value and not just about where you happened to take a seat,” said NJCBA President Edmund DeVeaux. “This will be an atmosphere unlike any other created in the cannabis space; a chance for everyone who attends to chat and learn with every individual.”

“Legalization is taking shape in New Jersey which means this event isn’t about advocacy, it’s about current and future license holders,” said NJCBA Founder Scott Rudder. “This will not be like other conferences where you sit all day and listen to speakers. ‘Cannabis Connection’ is about you and your business. It’s about your needs, your goals and meeting likeminded individuals within the industry.”

“Cannabis Connection 2022” will take place Thursday, October 27 from 1p.m. – 8 p.m. at Galloping Hill Golf Club, located at 3 Golf Drive in Kenilworth, New Jersey. “Making Cannabis Connections,” the round robin style meet and greet, will take place starting at 1pm with the main networking reception to begin at 6 p.m. Interested participants can register for the event at:

“New Jersey should be extremely proud of the application portals opening today for cultivation, manufacturing, and laboratory testing. Looking beyond the challenges over the years to put expanded medical and adult-use cannabis markets in place legislatively and by regulation, we surpassed the tri-state commercial region in matters of regulating social justice and industry. The NJCBA continues to stand ready to be a resource for current license holders, prospective licensees, and municipalities hosting cannabis businesses, both for the application round starting today and all future application rounds.”

“On behalf of the NJCBA leadership and membership, I want to offer my heartfelt congratulations to Senator Scutari. He has been a true leader in the cause for social justice and economic parity as it relates to the state’s cannabis community. We feel his ascension to the office of Senate President is recognition for his years of hard work, not just for the cannabis industry, but to the state of New Jersey. As with his predecessor, our friend Senate President Sweeney, we stand ready to offer our policy advice and counsel as we move forward with an adult-use and expanded medical cannabis market.”

“This is an exciting day, both for the awardees and for progress in the cannabis space. Congratulations to all those who have been awarded licenses. The New Jersey CannaBusiness Association is here to support and assist them in establishing their business or helping them reach a conclusion that is best for them.

“The CRC’s action today moves us one step closer to issuing applications for the first round of adult-use licenses in New Jersey. Like many, we await that day with eager anticipation and look forward to helping future adult-use license holders as well.”

“Another CRC meeting has come and gone without addressing the two-year old dilemma that is the 2019 application process. Meanwhile, patients continue to lose affordable access to the medicine that they need and those who applied in 2019 have lost time and countless dollars waiting for action.

“Moving forward on these applications is a critical component to New Jersey’s cannabis industry. This failure to act will have a ripple effect on everyone involved or trying to get involved in the cannabis market. These delays are particularly harmful for smaller mom-and-pop microbusinesses and minority and women-owned businesses. They are waiting for much anticipated inclusion in the industry that had shut them out for so long and now may see a delay in that process, which is exactly what we did not want to happen. They cannot afford to keep waiting and neither can the State.

“This delay was highly inconvenient but understandable before. Now, it is totally unacceptable and the State needs to take action immediately.”
