WILLIAMSTOWN, N.J. - It’s been more than a month since New Jersey dispensaries were given the green light to start selling legal, recreational marijuana and, after a big first month, cannabis sales are showing no sign of slowing down.Some first time legal weed buyers are curious, maybe a little anxious, at The Botanist, in Williamstown, but it isn’t stopping them.

Demand for legal weed in New Jersey remains high a month after the debut."I mean, we were anticipating crowds, but to see it in person was definitely a shock for everybody involved," Tim Weigand, with The Botanist, said.Weigand says the big challenge in the week after cannabis was green lighted was getting good workers."We certainly had enough product.

I think our challenge, specifically, was trying to have enough staffing in order to serve the new customers that we would be serving," Weigand explained. "Since then, we’ve really accomplished that."New Jersey estimates $24 million in cannabis sales in the first month since it began and it doesn’t seem to be slowing.

Focus on accelerating second and precaution doses of covid-19 vaccination: Centre to states
NEW DELHI : Amid the surge of covid cases in some parts of the country, the Centre on Tuesday has directed States and UTs to focus on accelerating second and precaution doses of COVID-19 vaccination.  Rajesh Bhushan, Union Health Secretary reviewed the status of COVID situation through a video conference (VC) with 14 such States that are reporting high number of cases on a week-to-week basis along with increased case positivity combined with low numbers of COVID tests and below average COVID vaccination.  He advised caution and continuous alertness to States reporting a surge in COVID cases during the past few weeks, and to step up vigil against COVID.  The four-fold strategy highlights surveillance of incoming inter-national travelers; community-based surveillance; sentinel site surveillance (health facility-based surveillance and lab-based surveillance); and Whole Genome Sequencing.  States were advised to scan for and report all SARI and ILI cases from all district hospitals, major private hospitals and medical colleges across the districts, and keep a close watch on those geographies where these clusters are emerging.  “States were also strongly advised to strictly monitor epidemiological profile of admitted COVID patients and report the clinical manifestation to Health Ministry, rather than a random or anecdotal reporting.

PHILADELPHIA - The Philadelphia Police Department is investigating after an off-duty corrections officer was carjacked at gunpoint and shot at the alleged carjacker in Feltonville on Monday night. According to Chief Inspector Scott Small, officers with the 25th District received a 911 call for a robbery and gunshots on the 200 block of E Roosevelt Boulevard around 11 p.m. When officers arrived on location, they were met by an off-duty corrections officer, 59, who said he was leaving a friend's house and getting into his Toyota Avalon when he was approached by a man with a gun who pulled him out of the car, police say. According to authorities, the alleged carjacker got into the driver's seat of the car and began to drive away as the off-duty corrections officer fired five shots at the suspect and the car. The suspect sped off in the car and officers located it about 25 minutes later on the 4900 block of Bingham Street, officials say. Small says the vehicle was found with five bullet holes in it and fresh blood inside the car. Authorities say officers were also notified that a 21-year-old shooting victim with a gunshot wound in each arm showed up for treatment at Temple Hospital. Small says there is a possibility that the shooting victim may be the alleged carjacker and authorities are investigating. According to police, the off-duty officer said the suspect was wearing a surgical mask and a hooded sweatshirt with the hood pulled over his head.
