Nearly 40 years ago, actress Clara Peller appeared in ads for Wendy's asking, "Where's the beef?" But the question in Hoboken on 4/20 may be, "Where's the weed?" — particularly since none of the already-approved cannabis dispensaries have opened.
And recently, an "exotic" grocery store on Washington Street was shut down because, according to police, it was selling illegal cannabis without a license, and allegedly employed a juvenile.
At 10 a.m. Wednesday, March 1, Secaucus marijuana shop Harmony started recreational pot sales for the very first time.
This means that Harmony — which up until today was only allowed to sell pot to medicinal customers — can now sell marijuana to any member of the general public. You do not need a medical ID card; simply walk right in.
On Thursday, Patch reported that a second retail marijuana shop would like to open in Secaucus.
Now, on Friday, Secaucus town administrator Gary Jeffas gives the public more information about this new business seeking to open in town:

The New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory Commission voted 4-1 on Friday to approve Harmony’s expansion into recreational sales in Secaucus. The store opened as a medical marijuana facility in June 2018.
CRC Executive Director Jeff Brown said prior to their vote that Harmony was recommended for approval after they committed to adding a point-of-sale system for medical patients only, to undergo expansions and to commit to patient access standards.

United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) Local 360 is pleased to announce the decision by workers at Harmony Foundation, and its Harmony Dispensary in Secaucus, NJ., to unionize as members of UFCW. Harmony employees can now add their names to the quickly growing ranks of UFCW Local 360 from across New Jersey’s young marijuana economy. Recently, Harmony announced its intention to expand into the adult use marijuana market, and to open locations in Hoboken, Jersey City – as well as a new cultivation site in Lafayette.
Secaucus has established a process to apply for cannabis licenses and has set up a Local Cannabis Control Board.
Mayor Michael Gonnelli and the Secaucus Town Council voted unanimously to adopt two resolutions at its September 13 meeting. The move comes after the town rescinded its ban on recreational adult-use cannabis establishments in May of this year.
Since Secaucus reversed its ban on recreational cannabis establishments, the existing medical cannabis dispensary in town has been looking to enter the adult recreational market.
Harmony Dispensary is a tenant in a warehouse in the light industrial zone at 600 Meadowlands Parkway, Suite 15. The town is permitting facilities in the other lots that make up the warehouse space at that location, the kind of uses that officials say meant it would be unlikely that anyone other than Harmony would open up shop in town.
Dozens of business owners hoping to sell medical marijuana in New Jersey say they’re fed up. After they applied for licenses to sell in 2019, the state’s Cannabis Regulatory Commission has yet to give them approval.

While recreational marijuana sales remain in legal limbo throughout the Garden State, New Jersey’s second-largest city has given the green light to what will be their initial medicinal pot dispensary.
Jersey Digs broke the news back in April regarding what would be Jersey City’s trailblazing medical cannabis dispensary. Secaucus-based Harmony Foundation submitted an application to revamp a two-story industrial building at 227 Coles Street previously utilized by Moishe’s Moving.
