In the 2020 election, nearly 70% of East Brunswick residents voted in favor of the legalization of marijuana. Yet, this overwhelming victory has led to an underwhelming result. On Monday, the Township Council voted 3-2 against opening any form of marijuana distributorship in East Brunswick.
Presented with six options regarding cannabis - cultivation, manufacturing, wholesale, distributing, retail sales, delivery services - East Brunswick will have none. At least right now. How could this have happened?
The East Brunswick Township Council voted against all marijuana options at the meeting on Monday night. The reason, said Council President Sharon Sullivan in an interview with TAPinto East Brunswick, was "lack of clarity from the State of New Jersey regarding how local decisions would play out."
