Monmouth County's
#1 Dispensary

Yes. CannaBar is a fully licensed New Jersey recreational dispensary serving adults 21+. We follow strict state guidelines to ensure every product on our menu is lab-tested and compliant with NJ-CRC regulations. No medical card is required — any adult 21+ with a valid ID can shop.

Not all Monmouth County municipalities have opted in to allow cannabis retail. Many towns like Middletown, Red Bank, and Holmdel have not approved local dispensary licenses. Matawan is one of the few Monmouth County towns with an operating dispensary, which is why CannaBar serves as the go-to destination for cannabis shoppers across the entire county. We're centrally located and easy to reach from virtually anywhere in Monmouth County.

CannaBar is centrally located in Matawan with easy access from all major routes:

• From the north (Middletown, Hazlet, Keyport): Route 35 South, ~5–10 min.
• From the west (Marlboro, Manalapan, Freehold): Route 79 North, ~10–15 min.
• From the east (Red Bank, Rumson, Long Branch): Route 35 South or GSP to Exit 117, ~12–20 min.
• From the south (Holmdel, Colts Neck): Route 34 North, ~10–12 min.
• Garden State Parkway: Exit 117 puts you minutes from our door.

Free parking is available right on Main Street in downtown Matawan.

Adults 21+ can legally possess up to 6 ounces (170 grams) of cannabis flower or its equivalent anywhere in New Jersey, including all Monmouth County municipalities. This is one of the most generous limits in the country. Note that purchase limits at NJ dispensaries are capped at 1 ounce per transaction.

Private property only. It is illegal to consume cannabis in public places throughout Monmouth County, including parks, beaches (like Sandy Hook and Seven Presidents), boardwalks, recreation areas, and public sidewalks. Please consume responsibly at home to avoid fines and stay compliant with NJ state laws.

Start low, go slow! Beginners should start with a low-THC strain or a 2.5mg–5mg edible dose. You MUST be 21+ and have a valid government-issued photo ID (Driver's License, Passport, etc.) to shop at CannaBar. Our budtenders are here to guide you through your first purchase — don't hesitate to ask questions.

Traditional edibles take 30 minutes to 2 hours to digest and take effect. However, fast-acting nano-emulsion products can be felt within 10–15 minutes. Always wait at least 2 hours before considering a second dose.

No. Operating a vehicle under the influence of cannabis is a DUI offense in New Jersey. Always use a rideshare like Uber or Lyft if you've consumed. Purchase your products, drive home safely, and enjoy responsibly.

Any valid, unexpired government photo ID proving you are 21 or older is accepted (Driver's License, State ID, Passport, Military ID). Out-of-state and international IDs are welcome, provided they meet legal verification standards.

There are several popular methods to enjoy cannabis, each offering a unique experience:

• Smoking (Flower): The classic method. Use a pipe, bong, or roll your own joint. Effects are typically felt within minutes.
• Vaporizing: Heat cannabis flower or concentrates without combustion for a smoother inhale. Vape cartridges and disposable vapes are popular for convenience.
• Edibles: Cannabis-infused gummies, chocolates, and beverages. Effects take 30 min–2 hours but last longer.
• Concentrates: High-potency extracts like wax, shatter, and live rosin consumed via dab rig or vaporizer.
• Tinctures: Liquid drops placed under the tongue for fast absorption without smoking.
• Topicals: Creams and balms applied to the skin — not psychoactive.
