Little shout to the Botanist Elsewhere at the Shore, towns are busy trying to opt out of the new adult-use cannabis laws passed this year in New Jersey, which give municipalities 180 days (until August) to pass laws to keep dispensaries out of their towns, or lose that option for the next five years. Sales could start as soon as mid August......
.....Atlantic City is another Shore town that will welcome the adult-use cannabis business, not to mention the 2% tax that municipalities will be allowed to impose on sales.
There’s already a medical dispensary on the Boardwalk, the Botanist, and another one is planned on New York Avenue, in the heart of the city’s recently revitalized Orange Loop entertainment district of restaurants, bars, and music venues along New York and Tennessee Avenues and St. James Place.
Both are likely to convert to retail cannabis shops when the state’s new cannabis regulatory body completes its work.
“We’re all in,” said Atlantic City Mayor Marty Small Sr. “It’s going to create a new industry. We’re working on where the locations are, and how many, which is in our authority. As I stated many times, personally, I’m against it. But it’s for the greater good of the town. We look forward to the revenue stream.”
