CMMNJ wishes to support the development of micro- and minority-owned cannabis dispensaries. We are endorsing dispensary license applications to help this process. However, CMMNJ has not received, solicited, nor will we accept, any compensation for (our license application) endorsements.
Lucy Leaf Endorsement Letter:
To Whom It May Concern:
The Coalition for Medical Marijuana--New Jersey, Inc. (CMMNJ) endorses the application for a micro dispensary made by The Lucky Leaf, LLC for Butler, NJ on Rt. 23.
The Lucky Leaf’s Chris Viscana has assisted CMMNJ’s Get Out the Vote (GOTV) effort prior to the November 2020 election that legalized cannabis in New Jersey.
Mr. Viscana and his partners, Alan Lien, Matthew Sutera and Jessica Sutera, have been very active with helping towns change their minds about medical cannabis. In the last three years they have diligently worked in Lodi, Rochelle Park, and Caldwell to overcome decades of misinformation and stigma about cannabis that has been perpetrated by the federal government.
Though The Lucky Leaf would be a recreational cannabis dispensary, they are also looking to help medical patients. They plan to offer big discounts and other benefits to registered Medical Cannabis Patients. For example, they plan to make medical patients priority customers, so there would be a minimum wait for their medicine. They are also making plans to have private times when they are open for medical patients only to give patients the priority for fresh flower.
Mr. Viscana is in discussions with United and Food Commercial Workers Union Representative Hugh Giordano (UFCW Local 152) to facilitate union representation at their micro dispensary.
Mr. Viscana is a father of five who was born and raised in New Jersey. CMMNJ believes The Lucky Leaf would be a great asset to the cannabis industry in New Jersey. Thank you for your consideration.
