Guided by a talented staff drawn to HoneyStash’s dynamic mission, the dispensary creates a welcoming space for customers to explore cannabis with confidence.
“HoneyStash is more than a dispensary; it’s a movement to preserve cannabis culture,” said Dave “Big Dave” Valese, chief visionary officer of HoneyProjects. “In Metuchen, we’re showcasing New Jersey’s finest craft brands in a space where people feel inspired and cared for.”
A Cultural Hub in Metuchen’s Artsy, Destination Downtown
HoneyStash, Metuchen’s only dispensary amid Edison’s cannabis ban, is uniquely positioned in the heart of a vibrant arts community. Its prime location—steps from the New Jersey Transit Metuchen train station and across from the Middlesex County Greenway—offers easy access for commuters and locals, while serving as a community cannabis education center promoting wellness and expertise.
As a member of the Metuchen Downtown Alliance, HoneyStash aligns with the borough’s reputation as an art and wellness hub, complementing nearby landmarks and area destinations.
