Mendham Township Committee Plans Public Forum on New Cannabis Legislation on Monday, May
24th at 6:00PM at Town Hall and via Zoom
Residents are encouraged to participate in an upcoming forum being held by the Mendham
Township Committee to hear public input regarding allowing businesses to cultivate,
distribute, sell or transport cannabis in our town.
Last fall NJ voters approved a referendum to legalize cannabis. Legislation was signed on
Feb 22, 2021, allowing adults to legally possess up to six ounces of marijuana, and this
will not be affected by any action taken by the Township. Delivery services to our
community also will be allowed, regardless of local action.
Municipalities have until August 22, 2021, to "opt out" of allowing cannabis
businesses to operate within their jurisdiction. Later, municipalities can later "opt
in," if they choose, at any time.
