BLAZE Cannabis Software Announces Entry Into New Jersey with First Recreational Dispensary Earth & Ivy

LOS ANGELES — BLAZE, the industry-leading cannabis software suite and point-of-sale platform for cannabis retailers and delivery services, proudly announced its partnership with the first recreational-only dispensary Earth & Ivy in New Brunswick, New Jersey.

“We recognized the incredible potential and innovative spirit of Earth & Ivy on our first call with their team. We’re excited to be the software partner of New Jersey’s pioneering cannabis retail venture. This is a testament to our commitment to innovation, reliability, and sustainability, also a clear indicator of BLAZE’s ever-expanding reach and impact in the cannabis industry,” said Chris Violas, Co-Founder and CEO of BLAZE.

New Jersey legalized recreational cannabis in April 2022 and has seen tremendous growth with nearly $329 million in adult-use sales and more than $226 million in medical sales. Despite only having 38 operational dispensaries, New Jersey is quickly becoming one of the most lucrative recreational markets in the country. Previously, only dispensaries with medical and recreational licenses have been able to sell cannabis to adult-use customers.

BLAZE continues to make history as the first cannabis technology provider in New Jersey to transact sales for recreational-only cannabis store Earth & Ivy. BLAZE also powered the first legal cannabis sale in New York at Housing Works Cannabis Co on December 29th, 2022. This signals another step forward in its strategy to expand into newly legal markets like it has in New Mexico, Illinois, and New York.

The BLAZE software suite empowers Earth & Ivy with point-of-sale, e-commerce, and cashless payment solutions that provide a seamless shopping experience for customers. With the recent acquisition of Tymber, BLAZE is offering their new e-commerce platform BLAZE ECOM™ as a premier solution that helps dispensaries accept online orders, drive organic traffic, and offer a unique online menu that facilitates pick-up and delivery.

“At Earth & Ivy, we approached the decision of selecting a partner to launch our recreational-only retail location in New Jersey with meticulous consideration. It became evident that BLAZE stood head and shoulders above the rest. Their industry knowledge, commitment to exceptional customer experiences, and dedication to compliance made them the natural choice. Together, we embark on an extraordinary journey, poised to revolutionize the landscape of recreational cannabis in the Garden State, offering a sanctuary where education, quality, and innovation converge to elevate the lives of our customers,” said David Ryslik, Co-Founder and COO of Earth & Ivy.

Earth & Ivy hosted their Grand Opening on May 20th, 2023 in New Brunswick, New Jersey.

8 Breeders and Seed Banks with Desirable Strains for 2024

Every cannabis grower hopes to have a plentiful harvest full of top-shelf buds. One of the best ways to meet that goal is by planting quality genetics . But with so many breeders out there, it may be difficult to determine the best cannabis seed banks for your needs. Cannabis seeds are technically legal across the United States since they contain less than 0.3 percent THC, according to the 2018 Farm Bill. In the last six years, dozens of online seed banks have popped up vying for market share. Offering feminized cannabis seeds and autoflowering seeds in many of the most popular strains , there are endless genetics from which to choose. The best cannabis seeds for an operator may vary depending on whether a grow is indoors or outdoors, their preferred growing medium, and the ultimate goal for the crop. For example, are you hoping to extract rosin or sell smokable buds? These questions must be considered prior to selecting marijuana strains and, by proxy, a source for those genetics....

Will This Be Our Year?

In 1919, a ban on alcohol exposed a cultural divide between urban and rural America and led to a spike in organized crime. Federal, state, and local governments struggled to adapt to the abrupt change in reality that came to be known as Prohibition. The task of enforcing new regulations initially fell to the Internal Revenue Service (thus the term “revenuers” for federal agents who hunted moonshiners) before being passed to the Department of Justice (DOJ). While enforcement was concentrated in rural areas and small towns—where some folks made decent livings by operating homemade stills—urban dwellers continued to enjoy alcohol courtesy of bootleggers and speakeasies. With the end of Prohibition in 1933, after the broken bottles, blood, and dust finally settled, an article in The United States News (now U.S. News & World Report) attempted to give the citizenry an idea of how the path forward might look. The open season for liquor-control laws is at hand. With repeal on December ...
