After an initial <a href=\"https:\/\/njbiz.com\/up-in-smoke-newark-rejects-app-from-wu-tang-rappers-cannabis-franchise\/\">rejections<\/a>, the application for the Oregon-based cannabis franchise Hashstoria, backed by Raekwon, was granted conditional use approval at the July 24th planning board meeting.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>An Intricate Blend of History, Community, and Innovation<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Located in the Four Corners Historic District, the facility is set to bring a vibrant mix of history, community, and innovation to Newark’s heritage. The venture envisions a Class 5 cannabis retail facility and a cannabis lounge at 799-805 Broad St., adding a fresh brick face and new windows to display community artwork to the circa-1900s building.<\/p>\n<p>The project is a result of a collaboration between the iconic rapper, civil rights attorney Bakari Sellers, TV personality Charlamagne tha God, and other partners. The dispensary and lounge are designed to honor Newark’s heritage, while fostering a commitment to social justice, mental health, expungement, and creativity.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Designing a Sophisticated Cannabis Experience<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The principal at Montclair-based RHG Architecture+Design, Rachael Grochowski, believes design plays an integral role in shaping the cannabis experience. “We are committed to creating an environment that offers a sophisticated, inclusive, and enjoyable experience,” Grochowski stated, affirming that the dispensary aims to cater to seasoned cannabis enthusiasts and the cannabis-curious alike.<\/p>\n<p>Despite initial community concerns about the chosen location, Hashstoria reassured the public that it would comply with all CRC regulations and would not cause disturbance to the neighborhood.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The Final Approval<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>While Newark’s planning board has given the go-ahead, the final approval from the New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory Commission (CRC) remains to be obtained before the venture can officially open its doors.<\/p>\n<p>As the cannabis industry undergoes a remarkable transformation, Raekwon’s venture in Newark is setting the stage for a new era of cannabis retail, merging music, culture, and cannabis in a dynamic and inclusive environment. This innovative business model not only adds a new facet to Newark’s culture but also reflects a profound commitment to social justice and mental health.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a historic move, the city of Newark has endorsed the plans of Wu-Tang Clan rapper Raekwon The Chef to launch a pioneering cannabis venture.
