As state lawmakers continue hashing out a marijuana legalization bill, the list of towns in New Jersey saying no to legal weed just keeps growing.

There are now nearly 40 municipalities across the state that have either banned marijuana businesses or officially voiced opposition to legal weed.

And that's before there's even a legalization bill on the table.

NJ Advance Media reported this week that lawmakers won't introduce a legalization bill until next month. It's still unclear how soon they could hold a vote.

Each legal weed bill introduced to this point has allowed towns to ban marijuana businesses from opening, though they then wouldn't be able to collect any tax revenue from legal weed.

Here are the towns that have already taken that step:
