While neighboring Asbury Park has said it would embrace marijuana dispensaries if the state chooses to legalize weed, Neptune is taking a wait-and-see approach.
Neptune Mayor Nicholas Williams said he wants to know more from the state before deciding whether he would support allowing dispensaries in the township.
"I think medical marijuana is a wonderful thing," Williams said. But he said township committee members haven't yet formally discussed how they feel about dispensaries for recreational uses. "We haven’t really been told that much about it, the municipalities are trying to gather information on what’s going on with it," he added.
