Terrapin, who became one of the country’s first licensed medical marijuana providers in 2009, has aligned with several groups as part of an effort to give back to the local community. They include Jersey City-based WomenRising, Hudson Pride Center, and Project Help, an organization dedicated to serving homeless veterans.
While Terrapin has all the permission it needs at the local level, the company is still awaiting final approval on its license from the state. The company says that authorization could happen as soon as this week, but no timeline for the facility’s opening has been announced.
Terrapin’s digs will be Hoboken’s second medical marijuana dispensary after a Harmony Foundation spot just about a block and a half away on Hudson Street. Terrapin had sued last year hoping to block Harmony from opening and secured a partial victory when a judge ruled that Harmony’s application needed further review.
