By the time you read this article, there might be another dispensary open in New Jersey.
It's been a whirlwind year for the cannabis industry in New Jersey, as the number of retail locations in the Garden State has ballooned to 126 stores.
As of April 15, recreational marijuana customers can purchase legal weed at 119 different New Jersey dispensaries, compared to just 24 one year ago. Of those stores, 45 dispensaries are open to both medical marijuana patients and recreational customers. Another seven New Jersey dispensaries are open exclusively to patients.

But over the last 12 months, new adult use dispensaries have opened at a rate of more than one per week. Now, there are 74 adult use dispensaries in 20 of 21 counties, as far north as Sussex and as south as West Cape May.
"After having just 12 alternative treatment centers for more than eight years, we have seen a proliferation of businesses in the last two that clearly demonstrates consumer demand and the potential of the cannabis industry in New Jersey," New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory Commission Executive Director Jeff Brown said in a statement. "With more businesses opening, we expect a competitive market that will be beneficial to consumers in price, product availability and product quality."
This dispensary boom is likely just the beginning.

While only about 25% municipalities in New Jersey passed ordinances explicitly allowing dispensaries, those towns have been a hotbed of activity. Virtually every week, a local council is endorsing an application for a dispensary somewhere in New Jersey.
And at the state level, dozens of licenses are being doled out at a time. On April 11, the CRC issued another seven conditional licenses to dispensary applicants, who have six months to secure a location and convert those licenses to standard, annual licenses. The commission also approved another nine dispensary conversions, as well as another two annual dispensary license applicants and the expansion of one medical marijuana dispensary in Somerset.
