In a lawsuit filed in Middlesex County Superior Courtroom final month, seven native residents and a bunch of hashish victims are difficult Highland Park's ordinances and resolutions that permit licensed hashish companies to function within the metropolis limits.
The group argues that town council's bylaws violate federal marijuana legislation — which, in contrast to New Jersey, prohibits the possession, use and distribution of hashish.
The Highland Park council not too long ago issued a enterprise license permitting a state-approved hashish seller to open within the municipality, officers mentioned in an announcement. And, there are at the very least 4 different authorized weed dispensaries set to open within the metropolis as soon as they obtain state approval.
The lawsuit claims on Jan. 9, a hashish enterprise license was retroactively issued by Highland Park and the subsequent day authorized weed was bought by that enterprise, in line with courtroom paperwork.
The borough mentioned it violated neither New Jersey nor federal legislation by legally permitting these companies to function.
“The Borough has adopted all state laws required for the authorization of hashish retail companies to function within the Borough and has not violated any federal or state legal guidelines permitting hashish retail companies to open within the Borough,” Mayor Elsie Foster mentioned in an announcement.
“The Borough may be very upset that a number of residents have filed a brand new lawsuit over the Borough's choice to permit (hashish companies) to function within the Borough,” Foster mentioned.
