The Village Green reports:

As TheCannaBossLady boutique celebrates Women’s History month, it is proud to announce its expansion, Elevated by TheCannaBossLady Dispensary, coming in late Spring 2023. The new venture will be the first solely woman-owned cannabis business in Maplewood, awarded a retail license by New Jersey on Feb 6, 2023 and endorsed by the township last April. Elevated will offer consumers a luxury dispensary experience that will feature craft cannabis, located adjacent to the current CBD shop on 9 Highland Place in downtown Maplewood, NJ. Founder and owner Jill Cohen is a pioneer who has been committed to the cannabis industry for more than 20 years.

For decades, Ms. Cohen researched and became an authority on the medicinal power of the hemp plant, and on a personal level, it helped her heal from an abusive childhood. In 2019, she began selling CBD as a brand ambassador for TribeTokes and Potency no. 710, before she opened her CBD boutique in 2021. Ms. Cohen made it her mission to meet with activists and other entrepreneurs in New York and New Jersey to advocate for cannabis legalization. She is among a group of pioneers who are opening cannabis businesses in New Jersey that are independently owned.

“I am thrilled to be expanding my business and offering a new destination for New Jersey residents to discover the best craft cannabis that New Jersey has to offer. Elevated is going to be a plush, welcoming environment that offers a higher level of wellness. In addition, I will continue supporting the community through social equity events that explain how to expunge your cannabis records. Health-focused events like my menopause series and women empowerment events like my full moon rituals and boss lady brunches will also continue,” shared Jill Cohen, founder and owner of Elevated by TheCannaBossLady Dispensary.

Elevated will feature craft cannabis from local cultivators like the brand Miss Grass and luxury products from My Bud Vase, Puffco. and Her Highness NYC, to name a few.
