The Other Side Dispensary Opens Its Doors
The Other Side Dispensary (TOSD) is proud to announce they have finally opened the doors to their luxury cannabis dispensary in the Heights of Jersey City on Saturday. This highly anticipated event marked the dispensary's official entry into the local community, offering residents high-quality cannabis products in a welcoming and educational environment. TOSD is the first dispensary solely funded and founded by minorities in the country.
“We are thrilled to finally open our doors in Jersey City, our home, and officially join this vibrant industry,” said Dr. Alyza “Beast” Brevard-Rodriguez, founder of The Other Side Dispensary. “The Other Side embodies not just a business, but a testament to my journey and the strength of my community—all fueled by hope for a brighter tomorrow.”
The opening of this minority-backed dispensary represents far more than just another business in the cannabis industry; it symbolizes resilience, innovation, and the power of community-driven economic growth. By prioritizing inclusive investment and operational strategies, this establishment is setting a precedent for future businesses, proving that entrepreneurship can—and should—serve as a vehicle for social equity.
“Alyza is a veteran, a woman, a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community, and a Jersey City resident. She’s exactly the type of business owner we should be supporting and championing—someone who brings passion, diversity, and a strong sense of community to everything she does. I wish her all the success in this exciting new endeavor and congratulate her on the opening of The Other Side dispensary in the Heights,” said Yousef Saleh, Ward D, Jersey City Council.
The Other Side Dispensary offers a wide selection of cannabis products, including flower, edibles, pre-rolls, and wellness products, catering to all preferences and needs. The store aims to create an inviting atmosphere where customers can learn about the benefits of cannabis and make informed choices.
“Our team is committed to providing a safe, comfortable space for both seasoned consumers and those new to cannabis. We believe that education and community engagement are vital, and our grand opening is just the beginning of our commitment to both,” added Brevard-Rodriguez.
