Before NJ gets to vote, these towns already said ‘NO’ to legal marijuana
New Jersey voters this fall get to decide whether to legalize recreational marijuana use among adults 21 and older, while a number of communities have moved preemptively to block marijuana sales.
As of October, there were nearly 70 local ordinances banning either all marijuana sales and growth or recreational forms of the drug.
Lacey in Ocean County is among the most recent to act with an ordinance amended this fall.
