WEST WILDWOOD – Marijuana will not be sold in West Wildwood.
After recreational marijuana was legalized for those over 21 in New Jersey, Borough Commissioners voted to ban dispensaries or any other marijuana businesses from opening in town.
Municipalities were given 180 days to create their regulations surrounding the industry; however, they cannot prohibit a delivery service that originates outside the municipality from operating within it.
Despite being open to new revenue streams, Mayor Matthew Ksiazek said the weed stores simply would not be a fit in the small town.
An ordinance prohibiting the dispensaries was adopted May 7.
