Trenton, New Jersey: State regulators have signed off on rules governing the operation of cannabis consumption lounges. Regulators are expected to review business applications in the coming months.
Under the plan, dispensary owners would be eligible to open no more than one café. Patrons must be 21 to enter and sales of food or alcohol are prohibited.
Fewer than half of legal cannabis states permit on-site cannabis consumption facilities.
New Jersey legalized the adult-use cannabis market in 2021.
