Springfield residents pan proposed medical marijuana farm
Demand for medical marijuana may be booming in New Jersey and the public has overwhelmingly learned to accept that cannabis can provide real medical benefits for certain patients.
But finding an acceptable location to grow and process the drug may still be tricky, even in rural farming communities.
That reality was plain to see Tuesday night when more than a hundred people packed into Springfield’s small municipal building for a planning board hearing on a proposal to develop a medical marijuana cultivation and processing operation off Juliustown Road.
