“I Love The Brick City and I love that we get to create jobs for our people,” he wrote. “We Thank GOD for it ALL!”
According to NJBiz, the approval was given by the board at a July 24 meeting after an initial denial to open a Class 5 cannabis retail facility.
“Our partnership with Hashstoria, founded by a collaboration of iconic rapper Raekwon of the Wu-Tang Clan, the passionate civil rights attorney Bakari Sellers and radio, tv personality and mental health advocate Charlamagne Tha God, and others, is an intentional effort to bring forth a cannabis retail dispensary and consumption lounge that not only respects Newark’s heritage but also reflects a commitment to social justice, expungement, mental health, and creativity,” said RGH A+D principal Rachael Grochowski.
