New Jersey is getting more medical marijuana dispensaries. The Cannabis Regulatory Commission has awarded provisional licenses to 30 companies located throughout the state. That will double the number of the state’s retail locations. It comes as patients continue to enroll in the medical marijuana program — with about 5,000 patients enrolling every month. But about half of the patients end up leaving the program because the price of cannabis is still high, according to the Commission’s Executive Director Jeff Brown. The commission has said more competition should bring the prices down.
