It's good to know the local laws before lighting up. New Jersey legalized recreational cannabis for adults 21 and over, and that includes the Somerset area. Here's a quick guide to help you stay compliant and chill.
Who Can Buy Weed in Somerset?: You must be 21 or older with a valid government-issued photo ID — any state, not just NJ. Oh, and also, no ID, no entry. It’s that simple.
What You’re Allowed to Buy:
- 1 oz of flower
- 5 grams of concentrates (like wax, oils, shatter)
- 1,000 mg of THC in edibles (that's a lot of gummies, tbh)
Where You Can’t Use It:
Cannabis is for private use only in New Jersey. That means: Your home. You can't use cannabis in public parks, sidewalks, and yes, even your own car. Stick to private spots and you're good.
-Do not drive under the influence. DUI laws apply to cannabis like alcohol.
-Cannabis must be stored in a sealed container and out of reach while driving.
-Do not transport cannabis across state lines
-It’s federally illegal.
Every product we stock goes through strict safety screening. No sketchy additives, no shortcuts — just clean cannabis that meets NJ’s quality standards.
We only work with licensed NJ growers and producers that value quality like we do. Everything you see on our menu comes from sources we trust — and we're picky (in a good way).
Your thoughts help shape Theo. Got a suggestion, question, or complaint? Drop it. We're always listening and constantly improving to serve Somerset better.
Every product has a Certificate of Analysis (COA) you can access. See exactly what’s inside: cannabinoids, terpenes, lab results — all verified by a third party. What you see is what you get.
Kyra was awesome helped me get the exact strain I needed! Supper nice staff and chill spot
