Jersey City held its second cannabis job fair for new and upcoming cannabis dispensaries and a grower looking for budtenders and other workers that reflected the blooming market.
There were many local brands, such as Glue Lagoon Farms, Legacy to Lifted, Uforia, Benedict’s Supply, Social Leaf, Deka Cannabis, Ript, the Bay Street Greenery, and Hazy Harvest, ready to screen applicants.
Most dispensaries were looking to hire specialized clerks known as budtenders to work the store along with those higher up the ladder in management.
Jersey City Diversity and Inclusion Office Director Dr. Floyd Jeter led the cannabis job fair effort after holding the first one in 2022. According to him, 210 people pre-registered for the Jersey City cannabis career fair, while others were walk-ins.
There are already 7 Jersey City cannabis dispensaries open, with more coming.
Glue Lagoon Farms Seeks Legal Growers
Glue Lagoon Farms was notable for being the second cultivator approved by the Jersey City Cannabis Control Board (CCB). It has already approved more than 50 dispensaries opening.
They are still in the process of securing their council resolution. But they were confident it was a mere matter of time.
Glue Lagoon Farms is a micro cultivator.
