New Jersey gets baked for the first time

Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em, New Jersey — as long as you’ve got a prescription.

Weed-smoking New Jersey residents sparked a joint today to celebrate the opening of the Garden State’s state’s first medical marijuana dispensary — but the card-carrying patients weren’t doing the toking.

Wilfredo Gomez, 32, and his brother, Angel — neither of whom have pot prescriptions — lit up outside the Greenleaf Compassion Center in Montclair to cheer the first bag of legal reefer doled out.

“It will give people a chance to, you know, relax,” said Gomez.

It was less of a party for the first six clients, including an injured electrician, a man with a cane and chronic pain-sufferer, all of whom declined to talk to reporters.

The clinic sells three types of medical marijuana, grown in a warehouse by owners, but no edible ganja, said owner Julio Valentin.

Inside looks like “an upscale doctor’s office,” where patients must present state-issued health cards, Valentin said.

Windows are tinted and a security guard monitors the site.

A law legalized cannabis for patients with some medical conditions — like cancer and glaucoma, among others — in New Jersey three years ago.

“The patients are very excited — they don’t have to live in the shadows anymore,” Valentin said.
