The proposal allows recreational marijuana to be sold in the township as a conditional use in specific areas. This includes the area of the Moorestown Mall, East Gate Square Shopping Center and along portions of Route 38. They wouldn't be permitted on Main Street or Lenola.
Members of the Borough Council are establishing regulations that will permit all six types of cannabis businesses that have been approved by the state to operate in Red Bank.

The ordinance cites “uncertainties regarding the potential future impacts that allowing one or more classes of cannabis business might have on New Jersey municipalities” as the basis for the limitations.
Lake Como has banned all cannabis-related businesses within its borders — "due to the present uncertainties” that exist as regulations for the state’s new recreational marijuana market are still being developed.
Cannabis businesses – from retail stores to operations that grow, manufacture and distribute cannabis – will be permitted to open their doors in Lawrence Township under an ordinance that has been adopted by the Township Council.
