JerseyCannabis.org is an independently published cannabis-education resource covering New Jersey cannabis law, the Cannabis Regulatory Commission (CRC), the licensed dispensary directory, the medical-marijuana program, and related public-policy reporting. This page exists so readers, search engines, and AI crawlers can verify exactly who is responsible for the content, what standards we follow, and how to reach us with corrections.
Lead Editor
RJ Bolton — lead editor and founder. RJ is responsible for the New Jersey legal-status pages, dispensary directory, CRC and statute references, tax and revenue tracking, and the overall editorial calendar. Bylines on this site are house bylines — the convention used at many trade and policy publications — with the lead editor responsible for accuracy on every page that names a sitting commissioner, statute number, license holder, or revenue figure.
JerseyCannabis.org is a small operation. We are not a venture-backed startup, a dispensary marketing arm, or a publication owned by a multi-state operator. We are an independent, family-run educational publisher, and the editorial decisions on this site are made by a single lead editor working under the standards described below.
Editorial Standards
We do not sell cannabis products and have no commercial relationship with dispensaries, brands, or operators. No dispensary, cultivator, manufacturer, or hemp company pays us, advertises with us, or has any input into what we publish. Our dispensary directory lists every CRC-licensed retailer regardless of whether the operator has ever heard of us.
All legal claims are sourced from official regulator publications and primary statute text. When this site states what New Jersey law says — possession limits, license fees, lounge rules, DUI thresholds, tax rates, expungement procedure — we cite the New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory Commission (CRC), the New Jersey Legislature, N.J.A.C. 17:30, the Department of the Treasury, or the published court ruling. We do not paraphrase secondary sources without verifying the underlying statute.
All medical and health claims are sourced from peer-reviewed research and recognized authorities — the National Institutes of Health (NIH), NIDA, NIAAA, SAMHSA, the FDA, the CDC, and peer-reviewed journals indexed in PubMed. We do not treat dispensary marketing copy, influencer claims, or industry-funded white papers as medical evidence.
Content is reviewed annually or whenever a material legal or regulatory change occurs. When the CRC issues a new rule, the legislature passes a relevant bill, or a published court ruling changes the legal landscape, we revise the affected pages and update the “last verified” date. Pages have an annual review cycle as a backstop even when no specific change has occurred.
Conflicts of Interest
JerseyCannabis.org accepts no money from cannabis brands, dispensaries, hemp companies, multi-state operators, or any state agency. We have no investors with cannabis-industry holdings. We do not run advertising. We do not participate in affiliate programs for cannabis or cannabis-adjacent products. We do not accept comped products, sponsored trips, or paid placement of any kind.
Our only revenue source is the broader TryCannabis.org Cannabis Education Network, which operates under the same independence standards. The network is privately owned and self-funded.
What We Do Not Do
- We do not recommend specific dispensaries, brands, or products in exchange for compensation.
- We do not generate AI content without editorial review and source verification.
- We do not reproduce dispensary press releases or marketing copy as editorial content.
- We do not provide legal advice. Information on this site is educational; readers facing specific legal questions should consult a New Jersey-licensed attorney.
- We do not provide medical advice. Patients should consult a qualified clinician.
Contact for Corrections
If you find a factual error on JerseyCannabis.org — a wrong statute citation, an outdated commissioner, a defunct dispensary still listed, a tax rate that has since changed — please report it through our contact page. We log every correction, fix it on the affected page, and update the “last modified” timestamp so readers can see when the change was made.
Our full sourcing approach is documented on the methodology page.
