Wayne Township residents who enjoy cannabis may soon have a shorter trip for legally purchasing the substance. State regulators approved a retailer license for a Haledon-based business, paving the way for a dispensary in the borough.
Wayne's Township Council voted in April 2021 to ban recreational-weed businesses from operating within the township. The closest dispensary offering medicinal or recreational cannabis is RISE, a Paterson business that offers both.
During Wednesday's meeting, the New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory Commission approved a state retailer license for Molly Ann Farms LLC. The business is slated to open at 265 Belmont Ave., Haledon — a few minutes away from William Paterson University.
