Moja Life Set to Open as Trenton’s 1st Adult-Use Dispensary

Trenton, N.J., May 30, 2024 – PRESS RELEASE – Moja Life, the very first licensed dispensary in Trenton, N.J., located at 28 S Warren St., and owned by legacy market operator John Dockery, will be opening its doors at 9:45 a.m. on June 3, 2024, after a ribbon-cutting ceremony with local leaders.

As one of the first social equity licenses in New Jersey, and the very first licensed dispensary in Trenton, Moja Life marks a significant milestone, not just for the industry, but for the city itself.

Moja Life isn't just a high-end retail location to buy cannabis; it's a testament to the transformative power of second chances and a beacon of hope for Trenton residents.

At the core of Moja Life’s ethos is the story of John Dockery, a man deeply woven into the fabric of the community and a living embodiment of the Moja Life philosophy. After decades traversing the legacy cannabis market, Dockery witnessed firsthand the injustices of marijuana prohibition as well as the hurdles placed in front of social equity entrepreneurs. Yet, his dream of owning a legal dispensary, a symbol of living authentically and taking a leap of faith, never faltered.

“The system is almost never designed for people with my background to succeed, so too often we are left to grind it out in the shadows, but now I can take what I became known for in the legacy market—having the best cannabis—and sell it in a legal storefront in downtown Trenton,” Dockery said. “This is something I’ve only dreamed of before now.”

Now, with Moja Life, Dockery isn't just fulfilling his own dream; he's creating a path for others. Renowned in the legacy market for his unwavering commitment to quality and community, Dockery’s passion translates seamlessly into the regulated space. At Moja Life, patrons can experience the same dedication to exceptional products, elevated customer service, and a welcoming atmosphere—all within a high-end retail environment.

But Moja Life's mission goes beyond providing cannabis. It's built on the powerful philosophy of "having the faith to seize opportunities and make the most out of one's life." As the name suggests, Moja (meaning "one" in Swahili) emphasizes the importance of individual experiences and the potential for personal growth.

This message resonates throughout everything Moja Life does, encouraging people to embrace opportunities, take chances, and strive for their dreams.

Dockery's journey from the legacy market to a social equity pioneer serves as a powerful reminder that change is possible. Moja Life isn't just another dispensary; it's a symbol of hope, inspiration, and a brighter future for Trenton.
