Canna Remedies, a New Jersey adult-use cannabis license holder, celebrated the grand opening of its dispensary yesterday at 2175 Spruce Street in Ewing. Serving all of Mercer County, including Trenton and even points beyond, the friends and family-owned, pharmacist-led cannabis destination kicked off its opening week with a community celebration featuring discounts, giveaways, and ice cream truck treats.

Canna Remedies’ grand opening attracted local officials, dignitaries, and community leaders to the 7,244-square-foot dispensary. Opening day also allowed the community to experience the “Green Glove” customer service at the heart of its mission to be a trusted resource through its focus on education, community connection, and making cannabis approachable.

Canna Remedies operations team also consists of advocates and experienced operators who, among them, successfully developed Pennsylvania’s first medical marijuana dispensary, which grew to three locations across the Lehigh Valley and Poconos. The Canna Remedies team is led by Dr. Monica Werkheiser, Pharm D., a graduate of Rutgers University and a leading cannabis advocate and educator who spearheaded the initiative for anxiety becoming a qualifying condition for the Pennsylvania Medical Marijuana program.

“We are thrilled to open our doors here in Ewing Township,” said Werkheiser. “Our journey has been one of learning, growing, and embracing new possibilities. Now, with Canna Remedies, we have the opportunity to educate, offer curated experiences, and elevate the standards of wellness through cannabis.”
