In Passaic, entrepreneurs can grow, manufacture, package, wholesale and, in the newest incarnation of its marijuana ordinance, even deliver cannabis products.
They just can't sell it at retail.
"No municipality in the state can prohibit the delivery to homes," Mayor Hector Lora said.
Because New Jersey requires cities to allow cannabis delivery, the City Council introduced an amendment to its ordinance Tuesday to make it clear that home delivery is acceptable.
The mayor said the city is dotting the i's to make sure its ordinance, which permits the cultivation, manufacturing and wholesaling of cannabis, follows state law.
It has high hopes that it will be able to land cannabis growers and the jobs that should come with such businesses.
