Jersey City, NJ – Get ready, cannabis enthusiasts! The Other Side Dispensary (TOSD) is officially opening its doors in the Heights of Jersey City, and it’s not just any dispensary—it’s a groundbreaking venture that marks a significant moment in the cannabis industry. TOSD proudly holds the title of being the first dispensary in Jersey to be solely funded and operated by minorities.
At the helm of this visionary project is Dr. Alyza “Beast” Brevard-Rodriguez, a true powerhouse in the cannabis and wellness sectors. As a 2x disabled combat veteran, Dr. Brevard-Rodriguez’s journey has been nothing short of inspiring. After dedicating a decade to serving her country, she transitioned into the wellness space, founding SW3AT, a wellness studio that has expanded across Hudson County, NJ. Her unique approach combines holistic wellness with cannabis, aiming to uplift and empower marginalized communities—making her the first Black, LatinX, LGBTQ female disabled veteran licensed cannabis operator in New Jersey.

Mark your calendars! The grand opening is set for October 12, 2024, at 36 Congress Street, Jersey City, NJ, 07307.

Breaking Barriers and Shaping Culture
TOSD is more than just a dispensary; it’s a beacon of hope and a testament to the power of diversity in the cannabis industry.

With her extensive background in both the military and wellness industries, she understands the importance of creating safe, inclusive spaces for everyone.
