According to NJ.com, Zen Leaf will kick off recreational marijuana sales starting this Friday, August 5th.

There will be a grand-ribbon ceremony at 7:30 AM and sales can kick off at 9:00 AM. I may or may not be on line by 9:01 AM!

The event will also feature a, "Zen Leaf blimp flying overhead, free food giveaways, product specials, new live resin products, Zen Leaf branded tote bags, rolling papers, sunglasses and t-shirts."

Their official address is 2100 NJ Route 66 in Neptune Township.
