Monmouth County Assemblyman looks to block local anti-medical marijuana efforts
In a move to prevent local officials from stopping the cultivation of medical marijuana, a Monmouth County lawmaker said today he plans to introduce a bill that would protect the state’s selected pot growers from running afoul of zoning laws.
Municipal officials in Maple Shade, Upper Freehold and Westampton recently rejected proposals that would have allowed medical marijuana dispensary operators to grow and sell in their communities. (Renshaw and Livio, The Star-Ledger)
