Cannabis-The Future of Jobs in New Jersey

What could marijuana legalization in New Jersey mean for the Garden State’s economy . . . and for young people looking to launch a career in the emerging industry?

Join Stockton University SMART, Weedmaps, the New Jersey Cannabis Industry Association and members of the community for an important discussion exploring the impact cannabis legalization will have on job creation and economic development in the local community and across the State.

With pending legislation to legalize the adult use of cannabis and greatly expand the existing medical cannabis program, New Jersey is poised to create tens of thousands of new jobs. Our experts will share insights on how cannabis can be a driver for local economic development, and discuss the good jobs that the industry will create.

The panel will be moderated by Stockton University adjunct professor, Bridget Hill Zayat, and will include:

Jenna Misciascio- President of SMART/Stockton University

Kelli Hykes- Director of Government Relations, Weedmaps

Tim Weigand- Dispensary and Facilities Manager, Compassionate Care Foundation
