The Township Committee has adopted an ordinance that prohibits the cultivation, harvesting and sale of marijuana in Freehold Township.
The ordinance, adopted by committee members on Oct. 9, amends Freehold Township’s land use ordinance to include marijuana in its prohibited uses section.
The committee’s action prohibits retail or wholesale establishments, businesses, persons or entities from selling or offering to sell marijuana or marijuana products for medical or so-called recreational use, or paraphernalia that facilitates the use of marijuana, and it further prohibits the growing, cultivation or harvesting of any type of marijuana plant in Freehold Township.
