Everything You Need to Know About New Jersey Social Lounges and Cannabis Consumption Areas

/

New Jersey’s evolving marijuana industry offers a unique twist: social lounges for cannabis consumption. Licensed cannabis retailers in the state will soon have the opportunity to open New Jersey social lounges, where medical cannabis patients and adults aged 21 and up can consume cannabis on-site. These cannabis consumption areas (CCAs) are designed similarly to hookah or cigar lounges, where patrons can either bring their own cannabis or purchase it from the retailer and consume it within the lounge.

In November 2020, New Jersey voters approved Public Question 1 to amend the State’s constitution to legalize the purchase and recreational use of cannabis for adults aged 21 and older. On February 22, 2021, Governor Phil Murphy signed three bills into law that would officially legalize the adult use of cannabis and decriminalize cannabis possession in New Jersey.
