Over three years after the first legal statewide sales of recreational marijuana in New Jersey the Cannabis Regulatory Commission has endorsed four consumption dispensaries after completing filled out forms, paid permits and secured permission from their municipalities. Gynsyng, a dispensary in Merchantville, expects to open its cannabis-consumption lounge in the coming days. On Wednesday, July 17th, regulators approved
consumption spaces at Gynsyng and three other dispensaries. The space at Gynsyng is already set up and once they pass a final site inspection, they'll open the doors to what their "Community Lounge". This lounge will be in a room where Gynsyng has previously hosted Q&As and educational events. Gynsyng wants to make it a "comfortable, homey space," said General Manager Samantha Quinlan. Operators of indoor consumption areas are required to comply with laws that are applicable to cigar lounges. They must also ensure compliance with the Smoke-Free Air Act.
