5 licensed shops open in Newark right now, ranked on a star rating weighted by how many people actually left one. URB'N Dispensary leads at 5.0.
A 4.9 from 300 people is a weaker claim than a 4.8 from 7,000, so every rating here is pulled toward the New Jersey average in proportion to how few reviews sit behind it. Both figures are printed on each entry.

Patience with picky shoppers and a quick checkout are what customers praise most. The menu covers flower, vapes, edibles, concentrates, tinctures and topicals, and visitors from as far as Canada stop in. Women-owned, with curbside pickup and delivery, and it sits near Newark Airport.

Small space, personal help: reviewers keep describing staff who know the products well. Locals call it a go-to in Newark and say delivery is fast, while out-of-town visitors found it an easy stop on a short stay. Debit cards are accepted and the shop is LGBTQ+ friendly.

79 Halsey St 1st Fl
Newly opened and already fully stocked, this shop sent a shopper who came in for a single pre-roll home with a goodie bag as well. The menu runs across flower, pre-rolls, vapes, edibles, concentrates, CBD and accessories, so every format is covered.

A star average hides how many people stood behind it. Every rating is shrunk toward the New Jersey mean in proportion to its review count, so a shop needs a high score and real volume to reach the top. The weighted figure sits next to the raw one on every entry.
Every one Google lists as open and licensed under a cannabis category at the time of the last check. Shops that had closed permanently or temporarily are dropped, as is anything that turned up in the search but sits outside New Jersey.
Because we have not read one. Plenty of shops sell only through a third-party ordering platform that publishes nothing on their own domain, and a brand list is not worth guessing at.
Quarterly. Ratings move and shops close, and a list nobody re-checks becomes a directory of places that used to be good.
