Now, I will say this anytime that the discussion of legalized marijuana comes up; it's not my thing but I fully support its legalization.

It doesn't bother me at all, just like going out for a couple of drinks though, just be responsible about it.

Two of the three new dispensaries are actually medical dispensaries whereas the third one is for recreational use.

Design 710, in Atlantic City, is now open for business as well as NJ Leaf in Freehold.

According to NJ.com, these two dispensaries are medical dispensaries which means customers must be 18 years old and have a valid medical card.
