Curaleaf can continue selling recreational cannabis at all of its New Jersey locations after the state’s cannabis regulators reversed a decision they made Thursday that would have sharply limited where the company can sell weed.
Monday’s vote came during an emergency meeting of the Cannabis Regulatory Commission called to address Curaleaf’s application to continue growing and selling recreational marijuana. The newest vote—which grants the company renewal of five annual licenses, with some conditions—came just a few hours after Curaleaf workers rallied in Trenton in opposition to Thursday’s vote.
The commission approved the licenses with four votes in favor and one against—commissioner Charles Barker—and no discussion. The meeting lasted seven minutes.
Last week, just one commission member, Samuel Delgado, voted to renew Curalef’s licenses.
A Curaleaf representative did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
