About ANJA

ANJA is a licensed recreational Cannabis dispensary in Highland Park, NJ. We are an NJ-certified MBE (Minority-owned Business Enterprise) with a focus on education and curating positive cannabis experiences for Highland Park and the NJ community. Given the long and painful history associated with cannabis in the United States, especially among minorities and people of color, ANJA recognizes the necessity of community values and social justice. In addition to providing amazing service, curated products, and attention to every detail, our goal is to connect with the local community to ensure that ANJA is adding value and going about things the right way. We focus on education (risks for minors, benefits and de-stigmatization for adults, including alleviating concerns from parents, teachers, and religious communities) and social justice (working with current and formerly incarcerated non-violent marijuana offenders to create jobs for them and help with reintroduction back into society).
