Somerset is not a town: it is a community inside Franklin Township, so the local cannabis rules and any local tax come from the township, not from a Somerset city hall. Verdex lists 12 licensed dispensaries with Somerset addresses. Four are on Hamilton Street: Bridge City Collective at 665, Timber 5 at 695, Green Knight Cannabis at 831 and Dispensary of Somerset at 920.

Two are on Easton Avenue, including Bloc, and two on Somerset Street. Shoppers must be 21 with a government-issued photo ID; New Jersey caps a purchase at 1 ounce.

How to pick between neighbours

With four shops on Hamilton Street alone, price and product lists matter more than location. Farther out, SilverLeaf Wellness is on Route 27, Unity Rd. on Elizabeth Avenue, Herb's Premium on Franklin Boulevard and Central Jersey Dispensary on Kennedy Boulevard.

  • Tax: 6.625% state sales tax plus a transfer tax of up to 2% if the township has adopted one, per the New Jersey Division of Taxation; ask the counter what the receipt will show.
  • Possession: up to 6 ounces in total, and an adult may give up to 1 ounce to another adult without payment.
  • Medical customers: some New Jersey dispensaries serve medical patients only, so check the Cannabis Regulatory Commission's finder before driving.

Public smoking is restricted under the Smoke-Free Air Act, and landlords may bar cannabis on their property, so a rental or apartment may not allow it. Read the New Jersey guide for the full rules on lounges and delivery. Verdex has verified the 12 licences but has not scored the shops yet.

Questions about this list

Do Somerset dispensaries sell to out-of-state visitors?

Yes. New Jersey law lets adults 21 and over buy with a government-issued photo ID, whether or not they live in the state. Stores may not keep a record of your purchase beyond what the transaction needs.

Which town's rules apply in Somerset?

Somerset lies within Franklin Township, so the township sets local zoning and any local cannabis tax. State rules from the Cannabis Regulatory Commission apply everywhere in New Jersey.
