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
- 4 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.

Yeah, we get it — prices in NJ can be rough. The higher costs come from taxes, state rules, and limited grow licenses. But Somerset shoppers, we’ve got your back:
We offer daily deals
You’ll find monthly discounts
Our loyalty program is packed with rewards
Check our deals page or ask our budtenders for the latest promos when you stop by or shop online.
Both. Adults 21+ shop recreational with just a valid ID, and registered NJ medical patients are served too — with patient benefits like tax exemption and higher monthly limits. If you hold a medical card, mention it at check-in and we’ll take care of the rest.
Yes — 25% off your first order (cannabis products only). That’s the welcome deal, no signup hoops, just mention it’s your first visit when you check out. Full details on current offers live on the deals page.
We do brand pop-ups, product demos, holiday promos, and the occasional party, because a dispensary should be more fun than a pharmacy. The events page has what’s coming up, and Rewards members hear about the good ones first.
Every product, every price, updated daily — the online menu shows exactly what’s in stock and what it costs before you leave Somerset. Build your cart online to see your total upfront, or just browse to compare before deciding. Zero mystery at the register.
No. NJ law requires everyone who enters the dispensary to be 21+ with valid ID, even if they’re not buying. That includes babies and kids, so plan the errand solo or with an of-age friend. If that complicates the trip, delivery and quick pickup exist for exactly this reason.
Mornings are the quiet window — foot traffic stays light from open until early afternoon, so that’s prime time for a relaxed browse and unhurried budtender advice. Things pick up from mid-afternoon through the evening, with the 3–6 PM stretch running busiest as the workday lets out. Visits typically run anywhere from 5 to 45 minutes depending on your style, and if you’re squeezed for time during peak hours, ordering ahead turns any visit into the 5-minute kind.
You’ll find us at 3059 NJ‑27 Units 104/105, Franklin Park, NJ 08823, right inside Franklin Township and just a hop from Somerset. Dropped right off Route 27, we’re guest-approved for both medical and recreational cannabis. Premium products, friendly budtenders, and a no-fuss setup await you.
