I strongly suggest reaching out to all of them and asking what their stance is on amending the cannabis ordinance to permit Class 5 cannabis retailers to operate in town especially since a cannabis distributor was recently approved in Parsippany, pending a state license from the New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory Commission.
We need to elect the best candidates that will advocate for locally-owned tax generating small businesses so that legitimate cannabis companies like Happy Daze Boutique have a fighting chance to operate a state-licensed dispensary in town. Adult-use cannabis retailers in New Jersey have already generated over $18M in sales tax, with 2% of those sales taxes going directly back into the towns they're located in.
Get informed and exercise your right to vote so that we can move cannabis retail forward in Parsippany.
Our future taxes may depend on it!
