Recreational marijuana businesses get the green light from Mount Laurel Township Council
An ordinance permitting the retail and wholesale sale, cultivation and manufacture of recreational marijuana in town was approved Monday night by the Mount Laurel Township Council.
The Mount Laurel ordinance calls for the maximum local tax allowed under state law: separate 2% levies on each sale by retailers, manufacturers or cultivators and 1% on each sale by wholesalers.
Douglas Cooper of Camber Lane asked if there were plans to set aside tax revenue for drug treatment or similar programs.
