SilverLeaf dispensary brings trusted pharmacists to guide users through cannabis discovery

Jan 10, 2023


New dispensary to open in Somerset soon, but is already helping area residents discover the benefits of cannabis as medicine


New Brunswick, New Jersey Jan 10, 2023 (Issuewire.com) - In recent years, cannabis as medicine has seen a renewed interest across the U.S. as usage has become more widely accepted and legal.

But with so much information out there and sometimes conflicting advice from countless online "authorities," it can be challenging to know what is accurate and what isn't.

Seeing that difficulty and confusion in the market, the SilverLeaf dispensary, 1743 NJ-27, looks to guide users by giving practical advice and easy-to-follow instructions.

The dedicated - and highly educated - staff at SliverLeaf are led by CEO Jessy Vikani, who has made it a lifelong goal to create positive change in her community and has been a long-time owner of independent pharmacies in New Jersey.

"It all begins with the individual," Vikani said. "Taking that time, listening to their concerns and questions, and guiding them on the right path to relief is at the core of SilverLeaf."

Finding highly qualified staff to help fulfill that mission, Vikani has tasked another community-minded and trusted area pharmacist to lead as vice president of operations, Nirmit Patel.

"With over a decade of experience running the Whiting Pharmacy, Nirmit Patel will bring a well-known, trusted voice to SilverLeaf," Vikani said. "Through his various service endeavors and his dedication to patient education, he has proven to be a leader in the community. I am excited to see him share his knowledge with clients discovering cannabis treatments."

While knowing what works and sharing it with the community is an essential part of the SilverLeaf mission, Patel said souring products that ensure the dispensary sells only the highest quality products was a keystone part of the business plan.

"We source our products from vetted New Jersey wholesalers so that we know when our clients go out the door, they can trust what they have purchased will work and is healthful," Patel said. "Our approach incorporates the latest medical science into products and recommendations that target the desired outcome."

"We know how confusing it can be to explore cannabis as a treatment for a specific ailment, so we want SilverLeaf to be that information filter and helpful guide along a journey to relief," Vikani said. "Things like dosage, form, and frequency can all be factors in a successful cannabis treatment plan. We have the tools and the background in place at SilverLeaf to be the entry point to targeted and positive cannabis use."

While the dispensary has yet to open its doors, they have already dedicated efforts to begin sharing information about cannabis and the endocannabinoid system.

"We want to become a trusted source of information as users discover the basics of the legality of cannabis, product types, and forms, and that's why we believe that having clinical guidance during medicinal cannabis use adds value to the product," Patel said. "There can be an overwhelming amount of information out there, but we filter that information and share the most important details in easy-to-understand terminology that will give a background for our clients as they turn to SilverLeaf for their cannabis needs."

And while the online information is something they are happy to provide, they look forward to meeting area residents to discuss their cannabis needs face-to-face.

"We are excited to open the doors at SilverLeaf and look forward to adding quality cannabis products along with the knowledge needed to use it safely and effectively," Vikani said.

Eala ‘didn’t take lightly’ decision to play Asian Games

Eala ‘didn’t take lightly’ decision to play Asian Games

NAGOYA, Japan — Alexandra “Alex” Eala is prioritizing representing the Philippines at the Asian Games over the WTA Tour for the moment — even if that means risking a fine from the women’s tour. Eala had to withdraw from the China Open in Beijing — a mandatory WTA 1000 event — to compete at the Asian Games. She could be fined $10,000. “It was a decision I didn’t take lightly,” Eala told SNTV after winning her second-round match at the Asian Games. “Of course, it’s difficult to miss out on a 1000, especially Beijing, where I’ve heard so many great things about the tournament and I have yet to go. But I know there will be many chances to go back, and I’m really excited to be here, to represent my country and to compete.” The 18th-ranked Eala beat Patcharin Cheapchandej of Thailand, 6-1, 6-0, on Monday. Eala took bronze medals in singles and mixed doubles (with partner Francis Alcantara) at the 2023 Asian Games and is a favorite for gold this time. “I’m as eager as anybody and maybe even a little more,” she said. “I have a lot of will to compete, a lot of will to win.” Eala upset defending champion Iga Swiatek on Center Court in the third round of Wimbledon this year and then earned her first WTA Tour title in Washington. She reached the third round of the US Open. Eala next faces Joanna Garland of Taiwan in the quarterfinals on Wednesday. Nagoya mayor sayssorry for Asian Gamesinconveniences’ Nagoya’s mayor apologized to athletes on Wednesday for “inconveniences” at the Asian Games in the Japanese city following a string of complaints. The continent’s biggest sporting event has been dogged by problems including a shortage of beds and issues with transport. There are over 17,000 athletes and officials, more than the Olympics, and countries have accused local organizers of mismanagement. “We must offer our apologies to the athletes and others affected by these inconveniences,” said Mayor Ichiro Hirosawa, who is also acting chairman of the local organizing committee. “We must sincerely reflect on the mishandling that occurred,” he added. “There were human errors and a lack of communication with the national teams. “We are responding based on what has happened.” Unlike past Games, there is no athletes’ village in a bid to save money, with participants instead sleeping in temporary wooden units, on a cruise ship and in hotels. Some teams have complained about the temporary cabins, even saying the beds are too short. Early in the Games, local organizers apologized to South Korea after the North Korean national anthem was played by mistake. There have been issues with buses for athletes not running when they should, not turning up at all or going to the wrong venues. Some athletes were also stranded for hours at the airport when they landed in Nagoya for the start of the Games on Sept. 19. The Games, which are taking place in Nagoya and Aichi prefecture, end on Sunday.

LeBron James sparks instant hype at 76ers

LeBron James sparks instant hype at 76ers

CAMDEN, New Jersey — The answers Anfernee Simons gamely tried to offer about the first day of 76ers training camp were suddenly drowned out by the furious whirring overhead of a helicopter leaving the team’s complex. LeBron James’ helicopter. James indeed used the rotorcraft for the rich to take him after practice from New Jersey to presumably close to wherever he decided to live in New York. The helicopter noises are usually reserved for when billionaire team owner Josh Harris lands at the complex for the NBA Draft or a major news conference. Not anymore. The Sixers were quickly caught in the whirlwind of the first days of the LeBron Effect, even as a pair of players and coach Nick Nurse professed all was good on the court. Off the court, make room. Sixers staff moved the news conference backdrop from a corner where a few dozen reporters are usually stuffed to shout questions at Joel Embiid or Tyrese Maxey to a spot closer toward midcourt for a roomier feel for the more than 50 credentialed reporters, bloggers, TV camera operators and more that came to get an early report card on James’ official first day as a Sixer. James was gone on Tuesday by the time the media was allowed on the court to watch practice. Embiid, Maxey, former Boston star Jaylen Brown, they were all absent, too, a day after holding court on media day. Nurse is starting his fourth season as coach of the Sixers. He’s used to handling the demands that come with working in a major market and dealing with star players in Philly such as with Embiid and his daily injury report or the high drama that surrounded former Sixer James Harden. Nurse did say he had conversations with the team about looking out for each other and staying connected while navigating a spotlight season — especially early — that already has a postseason-type of aura around the franchise before the Sixers even played a game. “It is going to be different,” Nurse said. “More people, more eyes, more stories, more national TV. All that kind of stuff. It’s the same, just a little more. I’m just trying to get to the practice floor and to the game floor. If we can do those two things, all that other stuff, we’ll just kind of handle it as smoothly as we can.”

Yankees, White Sox start playoffs with wins

NEW YORK — Cam Schlittler baffled Boston batters and Ben Rice blasted two home runs to spark a New York Yankees triumph on Tuesday (Wednesday in Manila), while Pope Leo XIV sent support to his hometown Chicago White Sox ahead of their Major League Baseball (MLB) playoff victory. Atlanta’s Austin Riley delivered a triumph with a three-run homer, and San Diego thrashed the Chicago Cubs, as the MLB postseason began with best-of-three wildcard series openers. At New York, Rice smashed a grand slam and a solo homer while right-hander Schlittler mystified the Red Sox, striking out 10 while allowing only two hits over 6 1/3 scoreless innings in a masterpiece 9-0 shutout. “Just thrilled it left the yard to get four runs,” Rice said of his grand slam. “This is what you dream about, Yankees-Red Sox playoff game in New York.” The Yankees, missing slugger Aaron Judge due to a calf strain, saw Rice homer in the fifth, single home a run in the seventh and smash a bases-loaded homer in the eighth. Austin Wells drove in two runs, Luis Garcia plated a run hitting into a double play, and Schlittler threw a career-high 117 pitches to silence Red Sox hitters. New York leads the American League series, 1-0, with the winner facing Tampa Bay. The White Sox, of whom the pope is a lifelong fan, beat Houston, 6-3. A social media post by the White Sox showed an inspirational letter received on Tuesday from the leader of the world’s 1.4 billion Catholics. “I willingly invoke the Almighty’s abundant blessings upon you and your loved ones,” the pope wrote to White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf. Divine intervention or not, the White Sox dominated. Sam Antonacci put the White Sox ahead to stay by scoring on Munetaka Murakami’s first-inning sacrifice fly. Antonacci added a two-run single in the second, Colson Montgomery hit a solo homer in the fourth and Chase Meidroth’s bases-loaded single in the fifth made it 5-0. Houston’s Nelson Velazquez smacked a two-run homer in the fifth and each team added a run on an error to create the final margin. After the victory, the White Sox posted, “Abundantly blessed.” “We’ll take it,” White Sox manager Will Venable said. “The pope having our back and supporting us means a lot.” In the National League, Riley’s homer in the eighth inning gave the host Braves a 5-3 victory over Philadelphia. Trailing 3-2, Atlanta won after Michael Harris singled, took second base after Ozzie Albies was hit by a pitch ahead of Riley smashing a home run to right field off Phillies relief pitcher Jhoan Duran.
