The Borough Council introduced an ordinance to prohibit the operation of any class of businesses for recreational marijuana within its borders.
"We don't want to operate in the dark," Mayor Kristine Morieko said on June 9.
Morieko was referring to the state of New Jersey's progress on regulating recreational marijuana sale statewide. While recreational marijuana use has been authorized by the voting public, and the governor has signed into law the "New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory, Enforcement Assistance, and Marketplace Modernization Act," realistically, marijuana in this category won't be available for sale until 2022.
