From the Princeton University area, the same road carries you most of the way, making it an easy trip even if you do not know the back roads.
Timing tip: Route 27 is one of the busier corridors in the area and can carry a lot of traffic at rush hour, so a mid-morning or early-afternoon visit is often the smoothest.

What You Need Before You Come

New Jersey keeps the requirements simple, and knowing them ahead of time makes your first trip effortless.

Be 21 or older. Recreational cannabis is legal for adults 21 and up. No medical card is needed.
Bring a valid photo ID. A current, government-issued ID such as a driver's license, state ID, or passport is required, and staff check it every visit.
Bring cash if you can. Many dispensaries run mostly on cash, and there is typically an ATM on site if you forget.

Everything at a licensed New Jersey dispensary is sold under the rules of the state Cannabis Regulatory Commission, including the per-transaction limit of up to one ounce of dried flower or the equivalent in other formats. Our team handles the tracking for you, so there is nothing to memorize.

A Convenient Hub for the Whole Area

Kingston has always been a natural crossroads. Sitting on Route 27 between Princeton and the towns to the northeast, it is a spot that people from many nearby communities pass through regularly. That central position is a big part of what makes Citi Roots so convenient. Whether you are coming from Princeton, Plainsboro, or somewhere a little farther out, the drive is short and the road is familiar.

Keep in mind the simple location rules once you have your purchase: cannabis in New Jersey is for use on private property only, never in public spaces or in a vehicle, and it needs to stay within the state. Plan to head home or to another private spot to enjoy what you buy.
