Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about giving cannabis as a gift in New Jersey.
What's a good cannabis gift for someone who's never tried it before?
For first-timers, start with low-dose edibles (2.5mg-5mg gummies), pre-rolls (easy to use, no equipment needed), or CBD products for a non-psychoactive option. A beginner starter pack might include a low-dose edible pack, 2 mild hybrid pre-rolls, and a CBD topical or tincture. Avoid concentrates or high-potency products for beginners. Our budtenders at The Library can help you select the perfect first-timer gift—call us at (973) 731-1199.
How much should I spend on a cannabis gift?
Cannabis gift budgets are similar to wine or liquor: stocking stuffers $15-25, friend/coworker gifts $30-50, close friend/partner $50-100, and special occasions $100+. The relationship and occasion should guide your budget. The Library in West Orange offers products across all price ranges, with budtenders available to help you maximize your budget and create thoughtful gifts at any price point.
Can you legally gift cannabis in New Jersey?
Yes! Adults 21+ can gift up to 1 ounce to other adults 21+. The cannabis must be gifted (not sold)—no money can be exchanged. Both parties must be 21+, and you should keep products in original, sealed packaging when possible. Important: You cannot gift cannabis across state lines. All gifts must stay within New Jersey.
What are the best cannabis edibles to give as gifts?
Gummies are most popular for gifts (precise dosing, variety of flavors, familiar format), followed by chocolates (feel more gourmet and special occasion), mints/lozenges (discreet, easy dosing), beverages (unique and social), and baked goods (cookies, brownies). Choose edibles with clear labeling, consistent dosing, and good reviews. Our budtenders can show you the highest-rated edibles for gifting.
Should I include accessories with cannabis gifts?
Accessories are optional but thoughtful. For beginners, include a lighter and storage container. For regular users, consider a premium grinder, rolling tray, or smell-proof case. Accessories show extra thought and make the gift more complete. You can buy accessories at The Library or pair cannabis products with non-cannabis items like snacks, candles, or cozy items for a complete gift basket experience.
What if the person doesn't like what I chose?
Variety packs hedge your bets—multi-strain flower samplers or mixed edible packs let them find what they like. Ask The Library about exchange policies when you purchase. When in doubt, ask our budtenders for "crowd-pleasers"—universally liked strains and products with consistently positive reviews. Including a gift receipt (if possible) is always thoughtful.
Are there cannabis gifts for people who don't want to get high?
Yes! CBD products are non-psychoactive (no high). Options include CBD gummies, tinctures, topicals, bath products, and even pet products. CBD offers wellness benefits without intoxication—great for wellness-focused friends/family or people who are curious about cannabis but hesitant about psychoactive effects. The Library offers a variety of high-quality CBD options perfect for gifting.
When should I buy cannabis gifts for the holidays?
Shop now! Don't wait until the last minute. Popular products may sell out closer to holidays. Early shopping allows time for budtender consultations and helps you avoid dispensary lines during peak shopping days. Early to mid-November is the ideal gift shopping window. Call ahead at (973) 731-1199 to reserve popular gift items or schedule a consultation.
