Fort Lee Borough has restricted cannabis retail operations through local zoning, exercising its right under New Jersey law to limit or prohibit certain classes of licensed cannabis businesses within the municipality.
Under New Jersey's Cannabis Regulatory Commission framework, municipalities had to act by August 2021 to opt out of permitting any of the six cannabis license classes locally; otherwise, those uses became permitted by default for five years. Fort Lee's governing body adopted ordinances controlling where, if at all, cannabis cultivators, manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and consumption areas may operate. Any approved retailer must obtain CRC licensing, comply with buffer distances from schools, and meet local site plan and operations standards.
Operating an unlicensed dispensary or violating zoning conditions can result in cease-and-desist orders, license revocation by the state, and substantial fines per day of unauthorized operation.
