Three New Jersey Municipalities Will Offer Medical Marijuana Benefits To Public Workers
This is an apparent first in the United States
In what appears to be a first for public workers in the U.S., medical marijuana coverage is being added as a healthcare benefit for employees in three New Jersey municipalities, providing access to discounts at participating dispensaries as well as cannabis-related telehealth care.
Employees of the city of Trenton, as well as the boards of education in Orange and Teaneck, New Jersey, are eligible for the new employee benefit, which is facilitated through the company Bennabis Health. Participating workers will reportedly get at least 15 percent off the amount that a typical medical marijuana patient would pay.
Bennabis, which also works with private employers, separately signaled its expansion into Maine this week, announcing partnerships with dispensaries in four localities there.
