• Separate medical-patient only lines and check outs
• Two hours of operation every day dedicated solely to serving licensed medical patients, totaling 14 hours each week at each dispensary.

On April 21, adult-use consumers over 21 can purchase up to one ounce of cannabis per day at Curaleaf Bellmawr located at 640 Creek Road. Adult-use customers can choose from a product assortment that includes innovative products such as Select Squeeze, a fast-acting THC beverage enhancer, as well as traditional inhalable products including Curaleaf 3.5g flower jar, the Curaleaf 1g pre-roll and Curaleaf .5g vape cartridge. Shortly after launching, Curaleaf New Jersey will also offer its expanded assortment of award-winning Select products, including Select Bites and Select Elite vape cartridges, pending regulatory approvals.  

"The launch of New Jersey's adult-use marketplace is a major step forward for the cannabis industry and it is a privilege to be among the inaugural group of licensees that will mark the beginning of the state's adult-use market," said Joe Bayern, CEO of Curaleaf. "Our local teams look forward to building strong relationships with new consumers while deepening our ties with the medical community.
