6 licensed shops open in Plainfield right now, ranked on a star rating weighted by how many people actually left one. MindLift Recreational Weed Dispens 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.
517 Park Ave
Late-night delivery is the standout, with regulars ordering after work when nothing else nearby is open. In the store, service is quick and budtenders know the menu well. The shop is Black-owned, Asian-owned and women-owned, and marks itself LGBTQ+ friendly.
Open
102a E Front St
Deals are the running theme, and staff tend to send shoppers off with a small extra in the bag. First-timers say they were welcomed and walked through the menu, and fans of strong flower call it a go-to in town. It is cash only, so bring cash, and street parking is free.
Open
148 E 2nd St

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.
