Ice-T Enters the Cannabis Game with 'The Medicine Woman' Dispensary


Ice-T shows he's got the Midas touch again, this time with the legal cannabis biz. The legendary rapper, actor, and entrepreneur returned to his roots with the official grand opening of 'The Medicine Woman,' his dispensary in Jersey City, New Jersey.

Over the weekend, Ice-T took to social media to break the big news, revealing that 'The Medicine Woman' is preparing for a soft launch on March 27. But a full-fledged grand opening party will take place beginning on April 19-20 that will open the doors to cannabis lovers and inquisitive first-timers all around.

Famous for his business savvy, Ice-T isn't slapping his name on the endeavor but is diving in zealously. When it was time to bring this vision to life, he partnered with his longtime friend and cannabis expert Charis Burrett, a well-respected pioneer in the industry and the founder of the Medicine Woman brand.

Spread across an impressive 5,000 square feet, 'The Medicine Woman\ will serve as a one-stop shop for cannabis enthusiasts with a selection of New Jersey's best cannabis brands. The dispensary will begin opening with limited-edition merchandise, special offers, and promos.

The dispensary was approved by Jersey City's Cannabis Control Board in July 2022, which opened the door for Ice-T and Burrett to establish a venue that's not simply about selling a product but a center for community, education, and empowerment.

For Ice-T, this is no ordinary business venture; it's a way to lift and give back to his home state. Ice-T, a Newark, N.J., native who grew up in Summit, has long been vocal about the importance of giving back to the community, and 'The Medicine Woman' is another extension of that mission.

"I've dedicated my life and career to giving back and opening doors for minorities," Ice-T said. "As a New Jersey native, I'm truly excited about the promise legalization presents for our communities, and I look forward to ushering in a new era for cannabis in the Garden State."

The dispensary is also not just about sales; it's about access. 'The Medicine Woman' collaborates with local organizations like The Last Prisoner Project and the Jersey City Employment and Training Program. By inviting these collaborations, they can provide jobs for those previously affected by cannabis-related charges and serve as a socially responsible business alongside a profit-hitting one.

With Ice-T at the helm and Burrett lending her industry knowledge, 'The Medicine Woman' promises to be one of the most exciting dispensary openings in New Jersey. Guided by the beloved OG himself, fans and cannabis connoisseurs alike can expect a memorable grand opening with exclusive deals, community outreach, and the signature cool that only Ice-T can deliver.

Whether you are a longtime Ice-T fan, a cannabis lover, or just trying to get in on the ground floor of a new era of legalized weed in New Jersey, mark your calendars because 'The Medicine Woman' is here to embrace you.
