Episode Details

Jersey Citys first two cannabis consumption lounges, Xena Dispensary and The Other Side Dispensary, have been approved by the Cannabis Control Board, marking a significant milestone for the city and Hudson County. Xenas owner, a local entrepreneur, shared his journey from underground roots to opening the shop last April after a tough legal fight and investing one point two million dollars. The lounge, located in the basement with top-notch ventilation for fifty people, is themed around community events to shift old stigmas. The Other Sides doctor-owner held the spot for thirty months, spending over two hundred thousand dollars on rent amid licensing delays that forced tough choices. Her second-floor lounge aims for wellness events like yoga. These moves highlight Jersey Citys evolving cannabis scene, offering safe spaces and boosting local businesses as the industry grows.
