New Jersey Residents’ Voices Ignored on Cannabis Business Approval
In many towns across the Garden State, it appears that the local governments are refusing to listen to the desires of their constituents.

Despite well over 500 towns supporting cannabis by a majority vote of over 50 percent, with many much higher, about 335 municipalities opted out of legal, licensed cannabis businesses opening and operating within their borders, missing out on the massive revenue generated by cannabis, but more importantly, being flat out ignored its constituents.
