You may have heard that edibles aren’t legal in New Jersey. That’s not true anymore. Edibles are fully legal in the Garden State, and you have an incredible array of brands and product types to choose from. Here’s what you can expect when shopping for edibles in New Jersey.
Legal status of recreational cannabis edibles in New Jersey
Recreational cannabis consumers can purchase cannabis edibles in New Jersey dispensaries. You can buy gummies, chocolates, baked goods, and mints, with THC drinks coming soon.
If you thought edibles weren’t legal in New Jersey, it’s because legal infused product categories used to include just tinctures, syringes, lozenges, and chews called “soft lozenges.”
Initially, only gummies were allowed in New Jersey’s edibles program. That’s changed, though. The New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory Commission (CRC) now allows additional edible forms in the adult-use cannabis program, including:
- Baked goods such as cookies and brownies
- Drinks like infused seltzers and sodas, up to 5 mg per can
- Infused chocolates
Notably, all edibles must be ready to eat when purchased. Individual ingredients like cannabutter or infused honey are still not allowed to be sold in New Jersey dispensaries.
Understanding soft lozenges as edibles in New Jersey
The term “soft lozenges” may be used interchangeably with “edibles” in New Jersey to describe the same type of product. Soft lozenges encompass a wide range of chewable edibles, including gummies and other malleable candies. While they are referred to as “soft lozenges” in this context, they share the same characteristics and effects as traditional edibles found in other states, such as gummies or chewables.
The availability of infused beverages in New Jersey
They are coming! Infused beverages were approved by the CRC in September 2023. While there are no infused beverages on the market just yet, we know that they will be coming soon!
In the meantime, notable bands like Avexia offer a wide range of high-quality tinctures, which can be added to your drinks for a customized experience. You can also buy beverage enhancers like Select Squeeze to make any drink an infused one.
