A Hoboken cannabis dispensary mired in controversy for nearly two years has opened its doors as the city’s first recreational use-only store, despite a looming lawsuit ruling that could force its owners to close the shop.

Blue Violets, located on Sixth and Washington streets, launched a surprise soft opening Saturday, April 20, the unofficial weed holiday. It’s the second legal cannabis business to open in the city.
