Most towns opt out; Township of Washington next to consider pot biz
The Township of Washington Township passed an ordinance in June prohibiting retail cannabis sales. It plans to vote, Aug. 9, on a measure that prohibits all six classes of cannabis licenses. If this passes, the township would be the last in the Pascack Valley to opt out altogether — though elected leaders valleywide are watching to see how the issue shakes out
Under new laws signed by Gov. Phil Murphy in February, adult use or possession of up to 6 ounces of marijuana (or 17 grams of hashish) is no longer a crime, as long as it’s a state-licensed retailer and grower.
