“Delaware is temporarily banning recreational marijuana businesses from operating within the city. City council voted 5-2 on Sept. 9 to immediately enact a moratorium prohibiting ‘adult-use cannabis operators’ from operating within city limits for six months. Councilmembers stressed the temporary ban will give Delaware officials time to evaluate how they want to regulate marijuana businesses, given voters in Ohio approved Issue 2 last November to legalize recreational cannabis. … The moratorium emphasizes that it only affects businesses, and will not impact adult users consuming in their homes. … At least 56 other Ohio municipalities or townships passed moratoriums prohibiting adult-use cannabis businesses. Like a majority of other states that have legalized recreational cannabis, Ohio allows local jurisdictions to enact ordinances to prohibit or limit the sale of marijuana within their boundaries.” (09/23/24)
