One of the things we know for sure is that all towns are given the option to opt out of the sale of marijuana in their towns if they so choose. And many towns have already taken advantage of this.
One town that is jumping on the bandwagon in favor of marijuana sales is Eatontown. I’ve already seen a marijuana dispensary sitting along the highway in Eatontown, sparkling and beautiful, all ready to be opened as soon as the legislature could get its act together and the town could pass the relevant ordinances.
According to The Patch, during a special council meeting last week, Eatontown’s borough council officially approved an ordinance allowing most cannabis businesses into its borough.
Four cannabis dispensaries will be allowed to operate in the town, according to the new ordinance, and there are parameters set for where they may operate—mostly on the route 35 and 36 corridors—and, as can be expected, 1000 feet from school zones.
