ANJA
ANJA (ANJA Life LLC) is a minority-owned, state-licensed adult-use cannabis dispensary in Highland Park, New Jersey. Founded by a team of New York- and New Jersey-based entrepreneurs, it opened in January 2024 as the first recreational cannabis dispensary in Highland Park. ANJA pairs a curated retail and delivery experience with an education-first mission - normalizing cannabis through reliable information, community events like ANJA Fest, and partnerships with local New Jersey cultivators. The name is a play on the cannabis synonym 'ganja' and a Sanskrit term meaning 'to manifest.'
