The dispensary, located at 600 Tonnelle Ave. is holding a soft opening, ahead of its grand opening celebrations on Saturday, April 19. Ice-T, the legendary rapper and “Law and Order: SVU” star was born in Jersey City and grew up in Summit.
The 5,000 square foot store is the second location for The Medicine Woman, having previously opened a location in California.
““I’ve dedicated my life and career to giving back and paving the way for minorities,” Ice-T said in a statement. “As a New Jersey native, I’m excited for the opportunity legalization offers our community and I look forward to ushering in a new era for cannabis in the state.
“I’m Black, I’m a veteran, my whole career has been about helping people. Nobody starts a business thinking about social impact, but it’s lucrative enough that you should want to help the community.”
