New Jersey lawmakers are slated to hold their first votes on long-awaited legislation to legalize and regulate the sale of marijuana for adult recreational use next week, but already at least one Burlington County town is moving to ban such pot businesses from locating within its borders.
Members of the Cinnaminson Township Committee voted unanimously Monday to introduce an ordinance prohibiting marijuana retail businesses from operating in the township if the state legalizes it. The proposed ban would not extend to marijuana cultivation, processing and wholesale businesses, officials said.
