Medical marijuana card holders at the Jersey Shore will now have another option to buy legal weed.
The state's newest shop is scheduled to open on Route 66 in Neptune Township.
Just a few months ago, Smashburger closed the store and Zen Leaf saw an opportunity and quickly moved in, transforming the spot from burgers to marijuana with hope to join the recreational sales to come.
Zen Leaf Executive Vice President Anthony Marsico says Neptune Township is one of the few Jersey Shore municipalities that is allowing medical marijuana.
