Raekwon has finally been granted conditional approval to open a dispensary in Newark, New Jersey, per Hip-Hop Wired.
NJBiz reported that earlier this year, the Newark Central Planning Board initially denied the application from Hashstoria, an Oregon-based franchise that partnered with The Chef. However, during their July 24 hearing, the board reconsidered and granted the organization conditional permission to set up their business at 799-805 Broad St.
On Friday, August 4, Raekwon made the announcement.
“THANK YOU NEWARK , NEW JERSEY !!!!!!!!!! and all my Amazing Partners @jeddcanty @bakarisellers @cthagod on this wonderful and culture shifting Endeavor," he wrote, adding “@hashstoria is Guaranteed to be the top tier consumption lounge / dispensary to hit the east coast period ! you heard it from chef himself. we will be right in the heart!”
