When prospective cannabis business owners are met with particularly tight turnarounds, the licensing process can seem like a race to completion.

New Jersey’s Cannabis Regulatory Commission (CRC) is in the process of cannabis business licensing, with cultivation and manufacturing applications accepted as of December 2021 and the acceptance of cannabis retail applications starting on starting on March 15. Despite delays, personal use sales are still expected to begin within the first half of 2022.
