Blanche Adams, president of the Upper Township Business Association, asked Upper Township Committee Feb. 25, "We've been reading a lot about marijuana dispensaries and that New Jersey will soon be offering them even for recreational use. What is the position of committee and the township and the situation with our land-use controls?"
Mayor Richard Palombo replied, "According to state law, there are only a handful, maybe now around five dispensaries permitted under state law, and they are only for medical marijuana. I am not personally opposed to medical marijuana but recreational use is another story.
