New Jersey Social Cannabis Consumption Certification
In New Jersey, all employees of cannabis retailers, medical cannabis dispensaries, or clinical registrants licensed to operate as cannabis retailers are required to complete a Responsible Vendor Training (RVT) program. This mandate, outlined in the New Jersey Administrative Code (N.J.A.C. 17:30-8.1), ensures that staff are well-versed in the regulations and best practices concerning designated consumption areas where personal-use cannabis items may be consumed.
The RVT program is designed to equip employees with essential knowledge and skills to operate within the legal and ethical framework of the cannabis industry. By completing this training, employees become vital participants in ensuring safe, compliant, and culturally sensitive practices in the cannabis landscape. Cannabis consumption areas, sometimes referred to as lounges, are designated spaces where individuals aged 21 and older can legally consume cannabis on-premise.
These areas can be operated by licensed medical cannabis dispensaries, cannabis retailers, or dual-licensed establishments, provided they have obtained the necessary endorsements from both the municipality and the New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory Commission (NJ-CRC). Learn how consumption areas must be situated on the premises of the licensed dispensary or retailer. They can be indoors or outdoors but must be clearly designated with conspicuous signage indicating whether the area is for medical cannabis, personal-use cannabis, or both. Indoor areas must comply with ventilation requirements similar to ensure air quality.
Discover how these are regulated by municipalities who have the authority to permit the operation of consumption areas within their jurisdictions through the enactment of ordinances. This local approval is a prerequisite for any dispensary or retailer seeking to establish a consumption area. Engaging in this certification not only enhances your professional credentials but also positions you at the forefront of New Jersey’s evolving cannabis industry. As the state continues to expand access to legal cannabis consumption, trained and knowledgeable staff will be essential in ensuring industry success and regulatory standards compliance.
A municipality may authorize, through the enactment of an ordinance, the operation of locally endorsed cannabis consumption areas operated by medical cannabis dispensaries, including any alternative treatment
centers deemed to hold a medical cannabis dispensary permit and clinical registrants within its jurisdiction, at which areas the on-premises consumption of medical cannabis may occur, and operated by cannabis retailers within its jurisdiction, at which areas the on-premises consumption of personal use cannabis may occur; an operated by medical cannabis dispensaries, including any alternative treatment centers deemed to hold a medical cannabis dispensary permit within its jurisdiction that are also deemed to have one or more Class 5 Cannabis Retailer licenses.
- A cannabis retailer, or medical cannabis dispensary or clinical registrant that is also licensed to simultaneously operate as a cannabis retailer, shall limit the amount of personal use cannabis items sold to a person to be consumed in its consumption area, or brought into its consumption area if permitted pursuant to paragraph (1) of this subsection, to no more than the sales limit set by the commission. The cannabis retailer, medical cannabis dispensary, or clinical registrant shall not engage in multiple sales transactions of personal use cannabis items to the same person during the same business day when a retailer’s, dispensary’s, or registrant’s employee knows or reasonably should have known that the sales transaction would result in the person possessing more than the sales limit established by the commission. The cannabis retailer, medical cannabis dispensary, or clinical registrant shall provide, if required by the commission, information regarding the safe consumption of personal use cannabis items at the point of sale to all persons who make a purchase (C.24:6I-21(4a)).
- All employees of a cannabis retailer, or medical cannabis dispensary or clinical registrant that is also licensed to simultaneously operate as a cannabis retailer, shall complete any responsible vendor training program established in regulation by the commission concerning consumption areas in which personal use cannabis items may be consumed (C.24:6I-21(4b)).
