Miami Twp. OKs another medical marijuana moratorium

A second extension of a moratorium on medical marijuana has beeen approved by Miami Twp.

It places another six-month ban on the issuing and processing of permits to allow cultivators, processors and retail dispensaries.

The township’s first moratorium was approved by trustees in August 2016 and renewed in February of this year.

Last month, Miamisburg, Moraine and West Carrollton joined other area communities such as Oakwood, Huber Heights and Butler Twp. in banning the cultivation, processing and retail distribution of the drug within their jurisdiction.

Some communities – Riverside, German Twp., Dayton, Yellow Springs, Mad River Twp., Monroe and Carlisle, among them - have allowed proposals for cultivation sites to move forward.
