The Claridge Hotel in Atlantic City is making plans for a 10,000-square-foot, two-story cannabis dispensary and lounge to be opened in the space that was previously utilized as its casino floor.
The Casino Reinvestment Development Authority gave its approval for the “High Rollers Dispensary,” to be located at the Claridge, between Park Place and Indiana Avenue, just off the Atlantic City Boardwalk.
However, the state is still finalizing its approval of regulations on legalized consumption lounges, in which customers can smoke, vaporize, or eat cannabis products they’ve purchased in a public setting, akin to a marijuana version of a bar or restaurant.
The High Rollers Dispensary and Lounge could open as early as this summer.
Atlantic City has established a “Green Zone” for recreational cannabis businesses. Permitted cannabis uses within the zone could include cultivation, manufacturing, wholesaling, distribution, retail, and delivery.
