Troy City Council Bans Adult-Use Marijuana Sales
The Troy City Council has made a decision regarding the sale of adult-use marijuana within the city limits. On Monday, the council voted to adopt an ordinance prohibiting the sale of recreational marijuana in the city. This decision comes after ordinances related to allowing one medical marijuana dispensary and one adult-use marijuana dispensary were postponed indefinitely.
During the public comment period, resident Bradley Boehringer expressed his disagreement with the council’s decision. He argued that the majority of voters supported Issue 2, which legalized recreational marijuana, and that the council’s ban effectively rendered those votes meaningless. Boehringer also emphasized the importance of regulating marijuana sales, stating that it is safer to purchase marijuana from a licensed dispensary rather than from an unregulated source.
Boehringer has announced his intention to pursue a referendum to challenge the council’s decision. The outcome of this situation will be closely monitored by local residents and officials.
