Van Wert City Council To Rescind Ban On Medical Marijuana Dispensaries

(5-14-24) According to the Van Wert Independent at last night’s Van Wert City Council meeting…

After a plea from Fourth Ward Councilman Bill Marshall, council members voted unanimously, 7-0, to prepare legislation to rescind the city’s ban on medical marijuana dispensaries. After medical marijuana became legal in Ohio in 2016, city council voted to ban dispensaries within the city limits.

An ordinance is expected to be introduced at the next meeting.

The issue is being faced by many Ohio communities.
