Ice-T Launches Cannabis Dispensary with Internship and Job Opportunities

Let me tell you a story of Ice-T, not the refreshing drink, but the influential rapper and actor who is stepping into a new line of business—cannabis. He’s just cut the ribbon on a fresh and shiny cannabis dispensary in his home state, New Jersey. Not a surprising move in the fast-paced world of celebrity-supported ventures, but there’s something more to this.

Ice-T isn’t sliding into the cannabis world alone. He’s got some powerful partners in Charis and Luke Burrett, the dynamic duo behind The Medicine Woman. The clincher? His application to open an adult-use cannabis dispensary got the green light from the Jersey City Cannabis Control Board (CCB) in 2022. Who knew that rapper turned Law & Order star could also turn successful weed entrepreneur?

One thing Ice-T and his partners care about is the price point, aiming to make safe cannabis accessible for all. This, in fact, was a point highlighted and appreciated by CCB member Stacey Flanagan.

Flash forward to 2025, and here we are, just days past the soft launch of The Medicine Woman’s new dispensary right in the heart of Jersey City, NJ. Brace yourself though, folks, because the grand-opening fiesta is slated for the weekend of April 19th and 20th, 2025. Talk about making a notable start with the very first venture outside of their home base, California.

In all the buzz, it’s essential to focus on their core objective – accessibility. This move is more than a business opportunity; it’s about extending a safe, reliable cannabis source to Jersey City, NJ’s locals, and beyond. Clearly, Ice-T is ensuring his star-power is used for more than generating profit; it’s about making an impactful difference in a community that’s often underserved. And for that, we salute you, Ice-T! Roll on, innovators.
