Cannabis laws in Randolph follow New Jersey’s state law. The rules here are set by the broader jurisdiction, and city-level differences are uncommon.
Recreational cannabis is legal for adults 21 and older. Medical cannabis is also available. Cannabis remains illegal under U.S. federal law, which can create risks in federal areas or during cross-border travel. Possession and purchase are regulated.
Quick facts

- Medical: Legal
- Possession: No strict limit (large amounts may raise issues)
- Buying/Selling: Legal from licensed dispensaries
- Tourists: Permitted with valid ID (21+)
Practical guidance
Avoid cross-border transport of cannabis products. Do not assume informal tolerance equals legality.
Law Enforcement
Randolph police took marijuana busts seriously, especially when somebody was pulled over high or carrying weed. Some nearby towns had worse reputations, but a traffic stop still worried people. New Jersey has since introduced regulated adult use, as covered in Marijuana Laws.
Where to Buy Marijuana
Randolph had plenty of smokers, though short bags were easy to come by. The 7-Eleven on Sussex and the Randolph Diner were familiar places to meet people who knew the scene.
Marijuana Prices
- Beasters or middies: US$20, with no weight stated in that quote. US$50 bought three supposed grams, often only 0.7–0.8 g apiece, and US$100 bought seven 0.8 g portions. Halves were US$185 and ounces US$300–350, usually closer to full weight.
- Headies: usually US$20 per gram, occasionally US$30, plus US$60–65 per ⅛ oz, US$120–125 per ¼ oz, US$225–250 per ½ oz or US$450–500 per oz.
The people selling headies generally knew their flower and had some primo stuff.
Types of Marijuana
Purple Kush, White Widow, Blueberry × White Widow, Jack Herer, Cali Mist and various Hazes. The infamous Chemdawg even came through for a little while.
More Information
Good flower usually took an introduction and a little patience. Randolph didn’t have much of a stand-on-the-corner-with-bags scene.
