Black-owned dispensaries in New Jersey

Patt was excellent in helping me in my friends find the perfect strains for the start of our week

Loved my entire experience & was extremely happy with my purchase. Looking forward to my next visit! C.P.

I have been a long time customer. This is a fun and happy place to visit. The staff is always welcoming and happy, especially Timothy!! He is the best! Timothy shares info about the products and ideas. Very nice to talk to and very helpful. Great team!!

This place was very welcoming and the service was 10/10!

I have been going to start bud for 6 yrs or more and they have the good shit. I have been to others, but must come back to star bud to get my flower. They sell the best weed. Thank you

Nia was extremely helpful ! She’s always very patient and kind . Love the workers here :)

I've been to dispensaries in DC, Maine, Maryland, New Jersey, New York...all over. I'd say in regards to quality and overall experience, this is one of my top 3 favorite. Each time I visit the eastern shore, I stop here.

There was a very alluring young lady at the counter, BEWARE. She emits a glow as if she uses the finest of shea butters and smile is mesmerizing.

The selection is phenomenal and the service is equal if not even greater. Friendly staff and very welcoming and fun atmosphere. Great deals as well.

I have nothing but good things to say about JOVA! Best location I have encountered in this area. Great staff and inventory.

They have a really great selection, there's always something to try. Panama Red (sativa) is currently my go to. The staff is is knowledgeable, and been really helpful, just awesome.

Peake is lit as hell - prices are great, easy to get in an out fast and I can snag my lunch and beers at Gilly's next door.

great service. love the atmosphere of the store and the prices are great.

The staff is very accommodating and knowledgeable. I needed a strain that was good for pain relief, the bud tender knew exactly what I needed. They explained to me how certain strains and the turpines act, and how helpful the strain I picked might be. They explained what effects I could expect, noting one strain may Knock me out, while another helps with pain and would help with my energy levels. I will note that at one point there was an employee that was very loud and abrasive, however she no longer seems to be there. Everyone there has been nothing but respectful, attentive and courteous. The shop is clean, and they have a really good selection of both weed products as well as glass to choose from. No waiting outside in the cold like some other places I've been. This is the place I recommend to anyone visiting from out of town.

I love this dispensary! It’s a great local shop with friendly knowledgeable staff in a great location on Wolf Road with a wide variety of products. I can’t wait to go back and try more lol

I especially decided to shop here because it happened to be less than a mile away where I was for a function. And...I had checked out their menu online! This was the only place in the area where I could get brands I have been looking for. I was completely pleased with whole experience at Upstate Canna. Plenty of parking in front of the store. Pleasant check-in. Layout utilizes space efficiently so you can view products. Tremendous selection of flower and prices to fit every budget. many other products to choose from as well. I was very pleased with the prices on what I bought. Jeremy, my budtender was pleasant (as was Joe, lol) and knowledgeable about what I purchased. Overall, this was a great first-time experience. As a veteran of visiting six state's worth of dispensaries, I have had many good, some mediocre, and flat-out poor experiences (just a few). I will definitely visit again if I am in the Albany/Schenectady area.

Great selection and atmosphere. Any time there’s something out of stock, staff is helpful and knowledgeable to find something else I might like. Lots of great deals

Major bloom has the best products and services. I've been getting most of my products there because they are knowledgeable about their products and give the best recommendations. Recommended them to my friends and they are regular customers now.

JOHN!! This is for you! I’m a mental health worker in the hospital settings in Boston- this is definitely a need after a long day. On a snow storm that is supposed to come, my weediclesss (as I call it) was not available after I placed my order for delivery. Sir John was AMAZING and so caring to inform me of this and ask if there was anything else I needed. He really listened to what I needed and the current state I was in- just to decompress and get my client’s stories out of my brain so I can decompress and recenter as well. He made me feel seen and heard and feel valued. He tried adding an extra goodie for my birthday that just passed, I chose to give to a homeless person and he said he would give on my behalf.. no one has followed suit and done something like that on my behalf. Someone that may not have an ID or money but may need a break, let them use my weedicles… that’s all I want and John helped me gift it back to someone in need. Thank you John D. Thank you for giving me your last initial to ensure that the highest person at your company hopefully sees this and recognizes their unique/amazing employee. To the owner- he is a keeper. Make sure you keep someone like this in your company. Sincerely, Mental health worker

Staff was really friendly. I ordered online and picked up in store which was super fast. I was able to find a different strain from all the other shops around here and I love the Aloha Punch. It Tastes good, it’s packaged well and fits a standard battery. I worked 30 hours in 3 days with hardly any sleep and today is my first day off. I am literally so exhausted and felt like I couldn’t do anything. I promise you, when I took the first couple hits I got a boost of energy and I could all of the sudden tolerate everyone’s talking and started cleaning immediately. This will be my go to spot and strain!

Very professional and seamless experience. Thanks for carrying the sugar batter. It’s very nice, if possibly a little too much non-cannabis flavoring added. One of the preroll brands (can’t recall which but it was ICE enhanced, I think) claimed to be 100% but small print notes ingredients not derived from cannibas. Terpenes I think. I don’t need flavor injections but maybe some prefer it? Other than that, awesomeness.

My go-to dispensary. Great prices, daily deals, and quality product.

I just wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for the fantastic service I received from Manira person! They were incredibly punctual, arriving right on time and with a friendly smile. What really stood out was their positive attitude, even in less-than-ideal weather conditions. It’s clear they take pride in their work. 10/10 recommend

Great strains, very friendly and professional staff. Always patient and understanding while answering all my questions. Thank you.

It Is always a good vibe when I go in there.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. I was scared off my the bad reviews but figured I'd give them a try. They were great!

Very high quality product and professional service. If you're looking for more than what they've got, you need a psychiatrist, not a dispensary.
