- Raekwon has been approved to open a cannabis dispensary in Newark, NJ.
- The Chef's first “Hashtoria” location in New Jersey got approved by the Newark Central Planning Board last week.
- The rapper-turned-entrepreneur took to Twitter to share the news. “@hashstoria is Guaranteed to be the top-tier consumption lounge/dispensary to hit the east coast period! you heard it from [the] chef himself. We will be right in the heart!”
- The board approved the opening of a Class 5 cannabis retail facility after initially denying it, as reported by NJBiz. But one more hurdle remains before Hashtoria can open. They need final approval from the New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory Commission to proceed officially.
