The City Council is looking to expand the three-member Jersey City cannabis control board to five members. The city council introduced an amended ordinance to expand the cannabis control board to include two additional members, one appointed by the mayor and another appointed by the council president. The cannabis control board is responsible for approving applications for cannabis retail establishments (wholesaler, manufacturer, cultivator and retailer), distributors and delivery. The Cannabis Control Board has not met yet. The city council will vote on whether to adopt the amended ordinance at its next city council meeting on Jan. 26.
