Speak Up: Millsboro zones in on ban of marijuana industry
Posted
Add another town to the list of Delaware municipalities not welcoming legalized cannabis business under the Marijuana Control Act. While most of the commentary during a public hearing Nov. 6 urged Millsboro officials to allow such industry in town limits, the mayor and council voted 7-0 to approve an amendment to the town’s zoning regulations that will prohibit cannabis establishments, including testing, cultivation, production and retail.
- My question to this is, at what point do you separate laws from state to state and now town to town? What’s next? The car you drive — make, model year, gas, electric vehicle (example)? Can towns override state law? Don’t all towns fall under a state constitution and laws? Not saying I support it or not. Just making a point: What is the separation of laws from towns to state? — Jeff Grzeszczak
- I mean, if they want to stay away from the marijuana industry and potentially keep the town poor … by all means, be foolish. — Thea Tomczyk
- I don’t understand why the towns and cities are trying to make it illegal when the state made it legal. What supersedes and why did the state legislature leave a loophole in the regulations it passed, allowing the towns and cities to go forth with this? Can any of the legislators who sponsored this answer, like Trey Paradee, Sean Lynn, Kerri Harris or Kyra Hoffner? Can the American Civil Liberties Union appeal the decisions by the towns and cities to make it illegal locally? — Charlie Williams
