At the Englishtown meeting, council members said they would support the use and distribution of medical marijuana under controlled circumstances, but were opposed to recreational marijuana.
“In five years, you may need [medical] cannabis,” Councilwoman Lori Cooke said. “But I don’t support the recreational use.”
“I support the use of medical marijuana, but under controlled circumstances,” Councilman Greg Wojyn said. “In other words, administering it in the doctor’s office, administering it at the hospital, taking it at your home, but recreational, I’m sorry, you’re just opening up a whole Pandora’s box.”
Council President Cecilia Robilotti and council members Maryanne Krawiec and Eric Mann agreed with Wojyn’s comments.
