More than 100 NJ towns are OK with some form of legal weed

Bergen, Burlington, Camden and Monmouth counties appear to direct the pack when it will come to communities providing a environmentally friendly light for authorized weed firms — possibly healthcare or leisure gross sales or cultivation of cannabis—under up-to-date point out rules.

At minimum 14 communities in Bergen and virtually a dozen in Burlington have opted to enable some sort of controlled hashish business enterprise, when 8 communities every in Camden and Monmouth counties have opted in.

An unofficial depend by the New Jersey State League of Municipalities from August discovered that 360 communities experienced opted out and 90 had opted in, just just before the deadline for ordinances blocking cannabis companies.
