Cannabis questions?
Just ask
Exciting news! A-first-of-its-kind public cannabis education partnership is now underway.
Camden Apothecary Dispensary at Bell Pharmacy, announces a public cannabis education partnership Green Shoulder, our hands-on, adult-use cannabis education service.
A PUBLIC CANNABIS EDUCATION PARTNERSHIP TO BENEFIT nj
Camden Apothecary at Bell Pharmacy and Green Shoulder launched "Cannabis Questions? Just Ask" to help community members access accurate and relevant information about cannabis and wellness topics in a comfortable and engaging way. This partnership provides reliable and entertaining education programming, by hosting open dialogue sessions in community spaces. Each event is approximately 60-90 minutes long and promotes experienced cannabis educators who highlight cannabinoid fundamentals, including plant and consumption basics, and answer questions from cannacurious and cannaconfused individuals.
​
The "Cannabis Questions? Just Ask" informative events will be hosted in and around Camden County throughout 2026. Through this strategic partnership, local South Jersey residents can participate in introductory, in-person events that are designed to minimize uncertainty and confusion about cannabis and result in confident decision-making. These free information sessions will feature insight about the contemporary role of cannabis as it intersects with health and wellness, the statewide marketplace, and pop culture as well as interactive Q&As.

OUR SHARED GOALS
“We're thrilled to partner with the Green Shoulder program in helping consumers overcome the psychological barriers borne from decades of the wrongheaded "war" on cannabis,” stated Anthony Minniti, pharmacist and co-owner of Camden Apothecary. “Countless individuals can benefit from using cannabis as a safe, natural alternative to pharmaceuticals, but need reassurance as they take that first step. Our partnership brings together degreed healthcare professionals, experienced cannabis consumers, and highly educated cannabis counselors to serve as a "guide" for our guests’ first steps on their cannabis journey. This program is a first of its kind and can hopefully serve as a model for similar partnerships throughout the State”.
"CANNABIS QUESTIONS? JUST ASK" goals
cannabis examined
When it comes to cannabis, there is a plethora of information out there. Sometimes, it's a challenge to know what's accurate and what's not AND to navigate all the ins and outs of the plant and consumption methods. One of the goals of "Cannabis Questions? Just Ask" is to ensure access to real responses - from real people! - about your cannabis questions. We all deserve reliable, correct information about this plant, a plant with a complex reputation.
wellness explored
The way the plant medicine is prepared, how it is consumed (and subsequently interacts with the EndoCannabinoid System, also known as the ECS), the body and mind that is brought to the consumption - it all influences how how individuals are affected by cannabis. In the free, fun, and informative community education programs, how cannabis impacts wellness is a focus area. Participants will widen their understanding of products and their effects.
history explained
Did you know that we can look back over hundreds of years and see the same response patterns to cannabis over and over again? Consistently, we can review historical points and see repetitious cannabis narratives. We can learn about where we're at today by examining where we've been. In this public cannabis education campaign, we will help information session participants discover how the fascinating history of cannabis influences today.

Camden Apothecary Dispensary at Bell Pharmacy was established to introduce an innovative approach to the emerging cannabis industry. While retail dispensaries are 100% medical or recreational, Camden Apothecary has introduced a hybrid model that fully embraces both sectors of the cannabis market. One of Camden Apothecary’s main goals is to help destigmatize the use of cannabis by highlighting and promoting cannabis' rightful placement among other recreational substances (fine wines, cigars, craft beer, and spirits), but also preserving and advocating for its use as a bonafide healthcare remedy. Camden Apothecary is the only dispensary in the nation to be co-located alongside a pharmacy in the same building. Its integration with Bell Pharmacy helps create a "safe space” for novice consumers who are “canna-curious", but reluctant to visit a typical dispensary, or hesitant to take their first steps toward purchase and consumption of cannabis products.
