Jersey City, NJ – Pioneering rapper and beloved actor Ice-T is making a bold move into the cannabis business with the opening of his new dispensary, “The Medicine Woman,” in Jersey City, New Jersey.
The venture marks a significant step for the multi-talented artist, known for his groundbreaking contributions to hip-hop and his long-running role on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, as he joins the growing legal cannabis market in the Garden State.
The Medicine Woman is set to hold its soft opening on Thursday, giving locals a sneak peek at what the dispensary has to offer. The grand opening, scheduled for April 19—just in time for the cannabis culture celebration of 4/20—promises to be a major event, with Ice-T expected to make an appearance to celebrate the launch.
The dispensary aims to provide high-quality, state-regulated cannabis products to both medical patients and adult-use customers, aligning with New Jersey’s expanding legal marijuana industry.
Ice-T, born Tracy Lauren Marrow, has long been a cultural icon, blending sharp lyricism with an unapologetic persona. His decision to open The Medicine Woman reflects both a personal interest and a business-savvy move into an industry that has seen explosive growth since New Jersey legalized recreational cannabis in 2021. “This is about bringing something real to the community—quality you can trust,” Ice-T said in a statement. “Jersey City’s got a vibe, and we’re here to add to it.”
Located in the heart of Jersey City, The Medicine Woman is poised to capitalize on the state’s booming cannabis market, which surpassed $1 billion in sales in 2024, a 25% increase from the previous year.
The dispensary will offer a range of products, including flower, edibles, and concentrates, all sourced from licensed cultivators and designed to meet the strict safety and testing standards set by the New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory Commission.
