Forget gambling, nightclubs or spas. One New Jersey lawmaker believes the future of Atlantic City may lie in pot.
Democratic Assemblyman Reed Gusciora said he will introduce a bill Thursday to let voters decide whether to make recreational use of marijuana legal only in Atlantic City.

It's called the Promoting Opportunities for Tomorrow, or POT, bill.
It would put the question on a statewide general election ballot asking whether to permit the commercial growth, sale, possession, consumption, and taxation of marijuana within the boundaries of Atlantic City by those 21 and older.
Here's a buzz kill: The pot would be taxed at 20 percent of its market price. The revenue would be shared by Atlantic City and the state.

Atlantic City Getting a Marijuana Bailout?
Lawmakers have been searching for ways to revive Atlantic City's flagging fortunes, including severe financial problems brought on by the contraction of its casino industry. Four of the city's 12 casinos shut down in 2014, and the state is eyeing a takeover of the city's finances and major decision-making power unless it can come up with a turnaround plan in five months.
Gusciora wrote in the bill that criminalization of marijuana "is archaic and has had a disparate, harmful impact on minority communities" throughout New Jersey, including Atlantic City.
"A well-designed and heavily regulated marijuana industry would move Atlantic City's economy into the 21st century and provide extreme economic benefits to a new generation of Atlantic City residents and business interests, including existing hotels and casinos," he wrote

They need something to save that city. I don't smoke but that 20% tax is going to have to get lowered as well. Might as well take the chance of buying it from your normal

Missing out on billions not taking advantage of that.

Legalize prostitution, gambling, and weed. Ya city would always be flourishing.

Detroit should do the same.

They have drinks, breathmints, edibles etc. Basicailly anything you can think of.

With the mindblowing stats on overdoses... NY desperately needs recreational. Hell, NY needs a better medical MJ program.This will do for now. Many would make the trip to AC, it would flourish out there for sure.

Getting medical marijuana in NY is not worth the struggle. They basically don't give that **** to you unless you're on your ******* deathbed. And even then they're reluctant.
 
Vegas>>>AC
-no brainer-
Can't wait til Nov to vote for recreational use in NV. I never really puffed heavily, just every now and then. Now that I'm in my late thirties, I find that I enjoy blowin on this medical cannabis, rather than drinking...too relax from a long day. Cannabis has come a long way.

***all legal***
 
I'm not even sure that could save AC @ this point but I guess it's a start.

The city is essentially one giant landfill outside of Borgata and there's basically 0 free parking from what I understand.

My cousin was just there 2 weeks ago and told me he had to pay $15 to park @ Applebee's, :lol:

Kinda bums me out because I had a lot of fun there 8-9 years ago when I first started playing poker seriously.

On the real. At least try to bring the city back in some type of way to compete but from all these old stories and drug cases they dont want it.

I'd love to smoke with my Mom. There will be a lot of edible options for her.


If you do indulge, take it slow.
