The town of Maplewood has voted to allow the sale of recreational marijuana. It comes less than two days before legal cannabis can be sold across New Jersey
.
Apothecarium Dispensary Maplewood has been selling medical marijuana in town for almost a year. The owners are getting ready for Thursday. Workers expect long lines, crowds and curious onlookers.
The facility is run by TerrAscend, a multistate company.
Maplewood Mayor Dean Dafis said that he wanted to make sure that the business was ready to handle sales to the public.
"There never been a question about whether or not they would be good for Maplewood. I think they've proven that. We just wanted to make sure that as they expand they're going to be committed to our success as a community and meet all of our conditions,” the mayor said.
