Most cannabis on New Jersey shelves arrived here on a truck. Illicit only had to drive about an hour.
Shop Illicit Gardens cannabis in Franklin Park, NJ at Theo, with flower, pre-rolls, vapes, and gummies available for pickup or same-day delivery. Grown in Sussex County, the flower in their jars has never crossed a state line.
21+ only. Valid government-issued ID required.
Hybrid | 0.5g each, 2.5g total | Two strains in rotation
Most pre-rolls come in a tube. Illicit decided that wasn’t interesting enough.
The Smokos 5-Pack arrives in a cassette-inspired tin — slide it open and five half-grams are sitting in the tray, each one stamped with the wordmark.
Two strains in the tin right now:
Mintlato 0.5G 5PK — Hybrid | 29.44% THC | 34.72% TAC
Animal Mints × Gelato 41. Limonene-led, so it’s citrus first, mint underneath, pine on the way out.
Max AC 0.5G 5PK — Hybrid | 26.86% THC | 32.07% TAC
MAC 1 × Animal Cookies, and the name is a wink at Miracle Alien Cookies. Caryophyllene runs this one — spicier, creamier, a little floral.
Same tin, same price, 2.5g either way. Mintlato is the bright one, Max AC the spicy one. Near-cousins, as it happens — one out of Animal Mints, the other out of Animal Cookies.
21+ only. Available while supplies last.
Grown down the road, not shipped in. Illicit’s flower is hand-trimmed and slow-cured. Roll it, pack a bowl, or grab the seven-gram jar and stock up.
Where Illicit goes deepest. Singles, 2-packs, and cassette-tin 5-packs, flower-only or infused. One for the pocket, five for the week.
Simple and pocket-sized. Illicit runs 510 cartridges and all-in-one pens, both a full gram — bring your own battery, or take one that charges by USB-C.
Easy to read, easy to pick. Illicit’s gummy jars run 50mg or 100mg with the numbers on the lid, mostly straight THC plus a CBG ratio option.
Illicit turns up in the rotation often, and the good ones don’t linger long. Between daily deals and monthly specials, it’s worth a look before you plan the trip, and rewards members always hear about it first.
The flower already made the trip down from Sussex County. Covering the last few miles is the easy part.
Theo runs same-day delivery on select Illicit flower, pre-rolls, vapes, and gummies to Franklin Park and nearby areas — order online and we’ll bring it to you.
Orders placed before 11:00 AM typically arrive later the same afternoon.
Ten miles is roughly the working radius for Theo's delivery. That covers Franklin Park, reaches into Somerset and New Brunswick, and picks up most of the neighborhoods in between.
Two requirements, both firm. Whoever takes the handoff needs to be 21+ with a valid government-issued ID, and the name on it has to match the name on the order. Deliveries go to residential addresses only — workplaces, dorms, and parking lot meetups are out.
Four steps: find your Illicit picks on the menu, add them to the cart, select delivery at checkout, confirm. Theo takes it from there.
The cutoff is 11:00 AM. Beat it and your order usually lands by around 5:00 PM the same day. Order after that and it catches the next run.
Orders start at a $75 minimum. Inside 5 miles there's no delivery fee, between 5 and 10 miles it's $25. Right on the edge of the range? Ask, the boundary has a bit of give in it.
Aeropay handles delivery payments, and it clears before the driver leaves. Set it up ahead of checkout and the doorstep part stays simple.
Texts go out twice: once when the order leaves, once when it lands. Meet the driver at your door or building entrance with your ID out, and a quick signature closes it. (Drivers stay outside, but they will give you a minute to get there.)
Spend $120 or more on a first delivery order and a free gift comes along with it. Call it a welcome.

Yes. The company is referred to as both Illicit and Illicit Gardens. Most packaging and menus use the shorter Illicit.
Yes. Illicit grows in Sussex County, NJ, in a facility the company took over and rebuilt. The New Jersey operation follows the same growing approach that established the brand before it expanded into the Garden State.
Their process is the short version of why the flower reads differently: grown indoors in soil, hand-trimmed rather than machine-trimmed, and given a slow cure — the unglamorous step, and the one that decides if the jar smells like anything.
Both, plus hybrid. Illicit runs a large rotating strain library rather than building around one flagship, so the split changes month to month. Every product card lists its strain type, and our budtenders track what’s currently on the shelf.
Theo carries a rotating selection of Illicit flower, pre-rolls, vapes, and gummies — pre-packed flower, infused and flower-only pre-rolls, 510 cartridges, all-in-one pens, and gummies in a range of doses. Inventory changes, so we recommend checking our online menu, updated daily.
New Jersey caps recreational purchases at the equivalent of 1 ounce of usable cannabis per transaction, and the limits work differently across flower, vapes, and edibles. Registered medical patients have higher monthly allowances. Our budtenders track it at the register.
Because the formats aren’t directly comparable. Flower-only pre-rolls generally test in the mid-to-high 20s. Infused pre-rolls read higher, since concentrate is added to the flower. Cartridges sit in the 90s, which is normal for extracted oil rather than plant material — a higher number reflects a different format, not a better or more suitable product. Every item on our online menu carries its tested figures, and our budtenders can talk through what those numbers mean for whatever you’re considering.
No. The name on the order has to match the ID presented at pickup, so whoever placed it needs to collect it. Same rule applies to delivery.
