Empowering the Community: Unveiling of Black-Owned Cannabis Dispensary in Atlantic City

In a groundbreaking move for New Jersey’s cannabis industry, Bakin’ Bad is set to make its mark as the state’s first fully licensed African American disabled-veteran-owned cannabis dispensary. Located at 2834 Atlantic Ave. in Atlantic City, this pioneering establishment will hold its grand unveiling celebration on Tuesday, marking a significant milestone for inclusivity and diversity in the cannabis sector.

The unveiling ceremony, scheduled from 5 to 6 p.m., will precede the dispensary’s official opening to the public on April 20. The timing is particularly auspicious as it coincides with the MJ Unpacked cannabis business conference, taking place from Tuesday through Thursday at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City.

Bakin’ Bad is the brainchild of Atlantic City native Edward Wilson Jr., who envisions the dispensary as a platform to foster opportunities for marginalized and underrepresented communities within the cannabis industry. With a strong commitment to equity and empowerment, Wilson aims to create a space where diversity thrives and inclusivity reigns.

Beyond offering a wide range of cannabis products, Bakin’ Bad is poised to provide delivery services, ensuring accessibility for all members of the community. The dispensary has also forged a strategic partnership with ButACake, an esteemed edibles company co-founded by Martha Figaro. This collaboration underscores Bakin’ Bad’s dedication to supporting local businesses and amplifying minority voices in the cannabis market.

As Bakin’ Bad prepares to open its doors, anticipation is running high within the Atlantic City community and beyond. With its groundbreaking approach and unwavering commitment to diversity, Bakin’ Bad is poised to leave an indelible mark on New Jersey’s cannabis landscape, setting a precedent for inclusivity and social responsibility in the industry.

As the countdown begins to the grand unveiling, all eyes are on Bakin’ Bad as it embarks on its journey to redefine the cannabis experience and pave the way for a more equitable future.
