Cannabis dispensaries are popping up all over the place. Even though recreational cannabis has been legalized in New Jersey since January 1, 2021, you may have still never set foot inside a dispensary. Maybe you’re scared to do so. Perhaps you’re afraid of buying the wrong products.

Ready to go cannabis shopping? Be prepared to have fun with the experience. Here’s what you need to know.
What to Bring
Most cannabis shops in New Jersey require that you be at least 21 years old to buy products. Be sure to bring a valid form of ID with you. You do not need to be a New Jersey resident to purchase City Leaves, but you do need to meet the age requirement.
Also, be sure to bring cash or a debit card for purchases. Cash is preferred, as many banks are restricted due to federal guidelines.
What to Do
Now that you have cash and your ID, you’re ready to shop at a dispensary. Have a game plan in terms of what types of products you are looking for and what your goals are. Some people use cannabis for pain relief, while others use it to get a high or feel relaxed.
So, have a purpose in mind and also determine how you want to use cannabis. You don’t have to smoke it. You can consume it in the form of edibles and tinctures. You can use creams and balms for targeted relief. There are also sublingual products, which are absorbed under the tongue.
Also, don’t be afraid to ask questions. As a first-timer, you will want to ask the budtenders for their advice. They can direct you to the right products that will meet your goals. However, it may be a good idea to do some research online and read product reviews. This can help narrow down your options.
Keep in mind that there are various elements of cannabis to consider. Cannabis is placed into three categories: sativa, indica, and hybrid. They have different properties and need to be used in different ways. Also, there are properties of strains to consider. Do you want THC, CBD, or both? CBD is not intoxicating, while THC produces psychoactive effects.
