Take that, North Jersey: Your towns may get more state aid than similar ones in South Jersey, but we have one a "biggest" and "busiest" distinction that you don't. Not even New York City, that bastion of all things commerce, comes close.

New Jersey is expecting to at least double its medical cannabis patient registration, from about 20,000 to 40,000 or even 50,000, the state’s health commissioner said Tuesday.

Compassionate Sciences will now be called Curaleaf, named after the company that bought it less than a year ago.
At Oceanport’s April 19 council meeting, the governing body voted 5-0 to approve an amendment to an ordinance that prohibits the launch of any business engaged in the growth or sale of medicinal and recreational marijuana or paraphernalia in any of the borough’s zoning districts, including its section of Fort Monmouth.
