The East Coast just got a little greener. Ice-T, the legendary rapper, actor and New Jersey native, is making history with the official launch of The Medicine Woman Jersey City. Co-owned alongside cannabis entrepreneur Charis Burrett, the highly anticipated dispensary opened its doors on March 27, 2025, for a soft opening, with a grand celebration slated for April 19-20.

A Homegrown Legacy Meets Cannabis Culture

“This is where I’m from. I came up here, and now I’m coming back to build something that gives back,” Ice-T said, emphasizing the deeper mission behind the business. “This isn’t just about selling cannabis—it’s about creating opportunity and correcting injustice in communities that were hit hardest.”

Situated at 660 Tonnelle Avenue, the dispensary is positioned strategically along Route 1 & 9, ensuring easy access for locals and visitors alike. The two-story, 10,000-square-foot space features 3,000 square feet of retail space, executive offices and an additional 4,000 square feet earmarked for future cannabis consumption and manufacturing expansion. Customers can also take advantage of a newly constructed parking lot equipped with EV charging stations.

High-Quality Products And A Commitment To Social Justice

The Medicine Woman isn’t just another dispensary; it’s a movement. The brand, originally founded by Burrett and her husband, Luke Burrett, in 2019 as a California-based nonprofit, has always prioritized community-driven cannabis access. Their latest venture in Jersey City follows that same ethos.

“We’re thrilled to be officially opening the doors of The Medicine Woman Jersey City after years of hard work and dedication,” said Burrett. “The East Coast is poised to become the largest cannabis market in the world, and we’re excited to provide the community direct and safe access to the finest global plant medicines. We offer only products whose integrity, quality, and potency align with our standard of ‘Nothing but the Best.’”

The dispensary also aims to drive workforce development through partnerships with Hudson County Community College (HCCC), offering students hands-on experience, internships and job placement in the cannabis sector. Additionally, The Medicine Woman has aligned itself with the Last Prisoner Project, an advocacy organization dedicated to freeing individuals incarcerated for nonviolent cannabis offenses.

Exclusive Grand Opening Perks And Ice-T’s Special Offer

Thursday’s soft opening came with a special incentive: Ice-T announced on Instagram that customers who showed his post to a budtender received a 25% discount on their entire order. The first customer to make a purchase also received a special gift bag, while the next 25 walked away with a free gift.

Beyond the deals, The Medicine Woman is set to feature one of the largest collections of glass products in New Jersey, including pipes, bongs and rolling papers. Ice-T has partnered with industry figures like @treachtribe and @MickBenzo_The_Art_Of_Rap to bring this vision to life.

The grand opening event on April 19 will feature an official ribbon cutting ceremony, live music, local food vendors, celebrity appearances, and exclusive giveaways. Immediately following, The Medicine Woman will host its 420 “Blazing & Praising” celebration, blending cannabis culture with spirituality and community engagement.

With doors officially open, Ice-T and Burrett’s vision for The Medicine Woman is set to redefine New Jersey’s cannabis landscape—one high-quality product at a time.
