In their report, the Task Force recommended that Princeton should initially allow medical and adult-use retail operations. There are six available cannabis licenses in New Jersey — cultivation, distribution, manufacturing, delivery, wholesale, retail.
The task force said it did not study each license type, instead chose to focus on licenses that "seemed most suitable" to the community.

No more than three retail medical and adult-use dispensaries should be allowed in the Municipality.
Five commercial areas should be zoned for cannabis retail. The identified locations are Dinky area/Alexander St, Jugtown (near the intersection of Harrison St and Nassau St), Central Business District, Witherspoon North (Witherspoon Street only between Green and Leigh Avenue), and 206 North (at Cherry Valley).
Accessibility to cannabis stores by public transport, bike, or foot played an important role when zeroing in on suitable locations, the Task Force said. Dispensaries will be limited to one per commercial area.
All marijuana retailers will be subject to zoning restrictions similar to alcohol stores. The stores need to be located no less than 200 feet from schools.
