Mayor Dennis Sullivan and members of the Borough Council will begin weighing the advantages and disadvantages of licensing retail dispensaries for the sale of legal marijuana at Monday night's virtual council meeting beginning at 7 p.m.
"There's a lot to digest, and it could be fairly contentious," Sullivan said. It's game changing and has serious long-term implications. There's a lot to consider. I expect to have a substantive discussion about what we see is best for town as a whole."
New Jersey voters approved a referendum legalizing Cannabis in the November 2020 election by more than 70 percent; the local vote reflected that overwhelming majority, according to Sullivan.
