The Cannabis world continues to bloom in Toms River in 2023.

Last week saw the construction of the new recreational cannabis shop, Social Leaf underway. Now comes word a shop called The Flower Power Experience has opened on the outskirts of the Silverton section of Toms River.

Located in the Anchorage Plaza off of Hooper Avenue, home to many eclectic shops and anchored by the popular McIntyer's Pub, The Flower Power Experience seemed to be bustling this weekend.  A friend went in and purchased a beautifully ornate glass bowl, but said they could have bought 10 other things they saw, they were so impressed.

The way it works seems to be that the customer purchases some items such as bowls, bongs, or what have you, and then is "gifted" the cannabis. this seems to be a popular alternative to the standard recreational cannabis shops opening that are licensed to sell various types and strains of cannabis.
