    Large companies have no good reason to charge double in New Jersey’s medical cannabis program compared to Pennsylvania or New York. Recently, I conducted a survey of medical cannabis dispensary menus. The products in our so-called Garden State are far more expensive than in Maryland, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Illinois, and New York. In an era where politicians are falling over themselves to offer lower prices for consumers, regulated cannabis should be a significant part of the conversation.

    “America has already seen the very pro-weed version of Harris, and she is awesome. Trump’s new opinions are more of his say-anything and do-nothing style.”By Chris Goldstein, Federal Marijuana Pardon RecipientGetting an inside view of the White House was not what I expected this year. Three trips so far at the invitation of Vice President Kamala Harris have changed my perspective. I’ve borne witness to a time of profound change, and the experiences have cemented a new optimism in me.

    New Jersey weed prices for medical and adult-use cannabis flower remain at luxurious levels in licensed dispensaries. My ongoing survey of nearly 130 online menus was performed again on August 7th, tailored to look for the absolute lowest cost for flower, including the lowest cost for a full ounce. View the full survey here withthis LINK. More retail locations are open in NJ. So, I’ve included nearly a dozen new dispensaries in this update.

    Legal adult-use New Jersey cannabis and medical prices remain too high. A law to cap the prices has worked well for Pennsylvania medical cannabis patients just across the Delaware River. I’ve been tracking the regulated medical cannabis prices in New Jersey since 2013. Today, that price tracking covers nearly two years of the legal New Jersey adult-use cannabis market. The data is available to the public for free.

Val Kilmer was a good human. And a pretty funny guy. He was also a regular client onboard our Santa Fe, NM Learjet... Some weeks we'd have separate flights for Val, Gene Hackman, Shirley MacLaine or other celebrities...all back and forth to Burbank.

Thank you @CoryBooker! Truly proud that my votes in New Jersey help send this human to the US Senate. Always outspoken on cannabis legalization, here's @SenBooker meeting with marijuana reform activists in 2017. https://t.co/GsG6rqGbN1

My new OPED for @NORML at @MarijuanaMoment looked at 11 years of cannabis arrests data in Pennsylvania. Nearly half of Pa's substance possession arrests are for >1oz of weed. @PADemPolicy @PAGOP @PaSenateDems @PASenateGOP @PaHouseDems @PAHouseGOP [https://t.co/HZ8bG2N5CE ]
