  • Summary

  • Recreational adult use of marijuana has been legal for over a year and a half in New Jersey, but small businesses still struggle to break into the industry, even if they were operating underground before. Sabrina Boyd-Surka visits the first Black, woman-owned cannabis manufacturing business in Delaware and the first independent edibles brand on shelves in New Jersey, ButACake, to find out how they established themselves legally after years as a legacy operator in New Jersey. And KYW South Jersey reporter Mike Dougherty joins us for a look inside the grow house of a multi-state operator, The Cannabist Company, where the team is trying to use their funding and resources to help smaller companies like ButACake get off the ground.

    For pictures of ButACake’s kitchen and The Cannabist Company’s grow house, follow us on X @TheJawncast.
