About ANJA

Highland Park's first adult-use cannabis dispensary, minority- and women-owned, and built to be an education-first, community-first part of Central New Jersey.

Our story

ANJA opened as the first adult-use cannabis dispensary in Highland Park, New Jersey. We are a minority- and women-owned business, and from day one our goal has been to make cannabis approachable: honest information, a welcoming space, and a team that will actually answer your questions.

The name ANJA comes from the cannabis term "ganja" paired with a Sanskrit word meaning "to manifest." It reflects how we think about this plant and this shop: intentional, community-rooted, and here for the long run.

Every year we throw ANJA Fest, our free community block party, as a way of giving back to Highland Park and celebrating the plant and the people around it.
