Law Enforcement
At about 1.6 square miles, Fair Haven felt small enough that a patrol was never far away. Night walkers could be stopped and questioned, though people described some officers going easy on someone who spoke plainly. Street and car smoking drew notice. New Jersey has since introduced regulated adult use, as covered in Marijuana Laws.
Where to Buy Marijuana
The convenience store remembered as Krouszers was the local name.
