April 21, 2022, marked the launch of an entirely new industry in New Jersey—the first day that personal adult-use cannabis was sold to the state's first customers. Those ages 21 and older can now legally purchase up to an ounce of cannabis per sale. In a news announcement, the New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory Commission ("CRC") reported  "cannabis, and cannabis products were sold to 12,438 recreational cannabis customers for a total gross sale of nearly $1.9 million." The sales took place at 12 locations of the seven participating medical cannabis dispensaries in New Jersey, which have been in operation since 2012, pursuant to the Jake Honig Law, and had previously only sold medicinal cannabis to patients who held medicinal cannabis cards through the NJ Medicinal Cannabis Program.
