Metuchen blocks cannabis sales pending state action
With a state deadline looming, the Metuchen Borough Council took the preemptive step of voting to prohibit operation of any type of cannabis business within the boundaries of the municipality.
“I want to make it very clear, and the council members can join in … that I personally support cannabis in Metuchen,” Mayor Jonathan Busch said at the June 28 public hearing.
Ordinance 2021-10, adopted by a unanimous vote of council members, prohibits the operation of any class of cannabis businesses within the borough boundaries and amends Section 110-93 of the Metuchen Code.
