Marijuana may be legal in NJ, but Ocean City has always been a dry town, and back in 2019, they prohibited the sale of weed, but now they have to re-do the ordinance. Ocean City Mayor Jay Gillian is pushing to keep the leaf out of the family-oriented beach town.
Gillian introduced an ordinance on Thursday to City Council that would prohibit marijuana sales and cultivation anywhere in Ocean City. Council voted unanimously in favor of the ordinance, and next there will be a public hearing and a final vote on April 8.
The move comes just weeks after the state of New Jersey legalized recreational marijuana use for people 21 and older.
There were no immediate reports of injuries and crews are dousing the flames to extinguish the fire. Firefighters controlled the blaze shortly before noon, Ocean City Fire Department spokesperson Doug Bergen said to NBC.
He said there does not appear to be any structural damage to the boardwalk, though further inspections will be needed.
