Thanksgiving is Thursday, November 26, and the week around it is one of the busiest of the year for travel, shopping and last-minute errands. If you want to pick up from a Jersey City dispensary without a rushed trip, a little planning goes a long way. This guide covers when to order, how pickup and delivery work in a busy week, what to expect Downtown, and how to keep the holiday safe and responsible. It is for adults 21+.
The Quick Answer
- Order ahead. Build your cart early in the week, then choose pickup or delivery.
- Posted hours: store Monday–Thursday 9 AM–10 PM, Friday–Sunday 9 AM–11 PM. Delivery runs until 9:30 PM Monday–Thursday and 10:30 PM Friday–Sunday. Holiday hours can differ, so call (848) 500-9333 to confirm Thanksgiving Day.
- Don’t wait for Wednesday night. The day before a holiday is busy everywhere, including on the roads.
- Never drive after using cannabis, and don’t mix it with alcohol at the table.
Plan the Week
- Monday–Tuesday: check the deals page and build your cart.
- Tuesday–Wednesday: pick up or schedule delivery, ideally earlier in the day.
- Thursday: confirm holiday hours by phone before you count on a Thanksgiving Day visit.
- Friday–Sunday: regular weekend hours, with the Black Friday and Small Business Saturday crowds. See our shopping weekend guide.
Pickup or Delivery?
- Order-ahead pickup keeps the visit short. See our guide to order-ahead pickup.
- Delivery saves you the trip. It has no minimum, and it is free over $70 and $5 under. Check your address on the delivery page, and see how delivery works. Timing varies by area and by how busy the day is, so schedule early rather than counting on a quick turnaround.
- Walk in if you want to ask questions, and allow extra time.
Getting Here in a Holiday Week
Grove Street PATH is about a 5-minute walk from CREAM, west on Newark Avenue and up Brunswick. Service patterns can change around holidays, so check the PATH schedule before you travel. Street parking meters run until 8 PM and are free after 8 PM and on Sundays, but spaces are harder to find on busy days. See how to get to CREAM.
What to Think About Buying
People tend to plan for a quieter, at-home holiday. Options include a low-dose edible, a pre-roll or a vape for later in the evening, once the cooking is done. Start low and go slow, and don’t use before you cook or carve. See our guides to edible dosing, pre-rolls and microdosing.
Hosting or Visiting Family
- Ask first. Not every household is comfortable with cannabis, and hosts can say no.
- Keep products locked away if children are in the house. Edibles can look like candy or baked goods.
- Don’t bring cannabis across state lines. If you are traveling out of New Jersey, leave it at home. See our guide to holiday travel and airport rules.

The Rules Still Apply
- Bring a valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID showing you are 21 or older.
