Gloucester Township Council is considering whether recreational marijuana dispensaries should be allowed in the township, and at least one resident is warning against it.
"I've come across many children that are extremely stressed about the circumstances that they're under due to the fact that their parents are substance abuse victims," resident Leslie Soto Munoz said during Monday night's council meeting. "They are on all kinds of different drugs, but mainly stating that marijuana was the drug that springboarded them into other drugs."
Her comments came after Gloucester Township Council unanimously approved a proposed ordinance on introduction to permit dispensaries in the municipality.
