Will the dispensary keep records of my cannabis purchases?

Yes, New Jersey dispensaries are required by state law to track purchase amounts. Here's what you need to know:

What Gets Recorded: - Your name and ID information - Date and time of purchase - Products and quantities purchased - Transaction amount

Why Records Are Kept: - Ensure customers don't exceed legal limits (1 oz per transaction) - State regulatory compliance - Inventory tracking requirements - Tax documentation

How Long Records Are Kept: - Typically 2-7 years per state requirements - Varies by specific regulation

Who Can Access Records: - The dispensary (for your account/loyalty programs) - NJ Cannabis Regulatory Commission (for audits) - Law enforcement (only with valid warrant)

Who CANNOT Access: - Your employer - Insurance companies - Federal agencies (without specific warrant) - The general public

Your Protections: - All data is encrypted - Strict access controls - NJ privacy laws apply - Cannot be shared without legal process

This is standard for all legal cannabis sales nationwide and exists purely for regulatory compliance, not surveillance.
