Though there is not yet a specific proposal, the borough council voted 3-1 on Monday to endorse the concept of having a medical marijuana dispensary in the county seat.
Mayor Betsy Driver said the borough has been approached by several potential operators of dispensaries. Earlier this month, the Murphy administration announced it is seeking applicants to operate up to 108 medical marijuana dispensaries statewide, up from the current number of six.
The borough's action came after both houses of the state legislature last week approved legislation to overhaul the state's medical marijuana program, including the legalization of edible forms of medical marijuana and increasing the amount patients are allowed to purchase each month, from 2 to 3 ounces.
In two battles with cancer, Driver said she was given high doses of oxycodone to deal with the pain but went to Amsterdam in the Netherlands to use cannabis "to get off" the addictive drug.
