Now that adult use cannabis is legal in New Jersey, many entrepreneurs and small businesses are ready to conduct business in the once taboo field. Just like any new industry, the cannabis business needs more than a bricks-and-mortar location to succeed, but also professional services like attorneys, accountants, marketing and more.

Cheryl’s Lists networking group was established to connect professionals and is a solid referral source for businesses that touch and don’t touch the plant.

Scott Tanker of Tanker Consulting Services in Southampton is the newest VIP member of Cheryl’s Lists. Scott gains exclusive access to private cannabis meetups and strategic introductions.

Entrepreneur Cheryl Squadrito launched the networking group in 2020 as an offshoot of her company Media Friendly PR.
