Court Decision Stops First Weed Dispensary From Opening In Hoboken
The members of the Hoboken City Council agreed on one thing in early 2022 — they needed more restrictions for new cannabis dispensaries opening in Hoboken.
In a meeting in March of 2022, they approved a limit on new dispensaries, saying only six could open in the mile-square city. The council also voted 8-1 (with Councilman Michael Russo being the outlier) that dispensaries couldn't open within 600 feet of a school — a difficult rule to meet, considering there are more than a dozen schools in one square mile.
