Three towns apparently couldn't wait for New Jersey to legalize marijuana. So they just took a vote themselves this past Tuesday – and the results may be a little surprising.
Nearly fifty-four percent of Union Township residents voted to support marijuana sales in their community, even though New Jersey has not yet made pot legal.
In Vineland, support for some form of marijuana legislation was even stronger: 60.42 percent voted yes while 39.58 voted no.
Bridgeton asked three questions, with two essentially asking voters if they essentially support marijuana legislation. In each case, the community voted against – by razor-thin margins – the idea of retail pot sales in their town.
But Bridgeton did vote on a third question that shows the community supports the idea of locating pot businesses – if marijuana is eventually legalized – in an "industrial" zone of the community.
