With two more licenses for recreational marijuana to grant, Montclair is still working out requirements.

After a summer of crisscrossing accusations and acrimony between town officials and Ascend, marijuana for adult use goes on sale in Montclair.

Sales of recreational marijuana could begin as early as Friday.

Dispensary had accused township of 'dragging its feet' on an application process.

Ascend of Montclair plans to open for recreational marijuana sales beginning Tuesday, June 7, despite not having yet filled out a township application to do so, and therefore without township approval.

Ascend of Montclair has received its license from the state to expand to sales of marijuana for recreational use. But will still have to go through Montclair's application process before it can expand to recreational sales.

The Montclair Township Council has given a “resolution of support” to medical marijuana dispensary Ascend to expand into recreational sales, a measure needed to get a state license.

Marijuana fans flocked to other towns’ dispensaries, but Montclair hasn't yet approved recreational sales at the Ascend dispensary on Bloomfield Avenue.

But Harry W. Haines says he really enjoyed his experience at RISE in Bloomfield, as it opened to recreational marijuana sales.

The launch of recreational marijuana sales went relatively pain-free.
