April 12, 2023, marked the second anniversary of the New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory Commission.  Over the last two years, we’ve held dozens of public meetings, worked with the public to develop rules for adult-use cannabis business, increased the number of medicinal dispensaries and saw the first sale of recreational cannabis on April 21st, 2022. To commemorate our second anniversary, we are looking at NJ CRC by the Numbers.
