Don't bet on high times in Atlantic City casinos when marijuana is legal
Anyone who came within a slight ocean breeze of Atlantic City’s beaches or Boardwalk this summer, has stayed on a hotel floor with smoking rooms or played at a packed blackjack table on a weekend night knows marijuana is being smoked in and around casinos.
The distinctive aroma has been wafting around Atlantic City for years, and tourists could be excused for mistakenly believing that using marijuana was already permitted in the resort.
And that was before New Jersey voters overwhelmingly approved legalizing recreational cannabis in November.
