SNOW HILL– County officials approved emergency legislation regulating cannabis establishments this week.
On Tuesday, the Worcester County Commissioners approved legislation amending the Public Health Article to establish regulations for certain cannabis establishments. Commissioner Joe Mitrecic said the regulations needed to be in place before the state began issuing new business licenses.
“It’s coming and we want to be prepared when it gets here,” he said in an interview.
Following statewide cannabis changes, Jennifer Keener, the county’s director of development review and permitting, approached the commissioners this summer seeking guidance regarding the county’s zoning approach to cannabis. Last month, the commissioners made it clear they wanted larger separation distances than those permitted by the state.
Keener used the commissioners’ input and worked with the county attorney to draft a bill addressing cannabis establishments. She presented it Tuesday and said she’d also provided them with a map showing the distances between the two existing dispensaries and local schools and childcare facilities.
Why not run the OC Park & Ride as a Weed Flea Mkt? That way the County gets the sales tax revenue no matter where they take and smoke it. OC doesn’t need/use that lot anymore.
Just another way to dumb down the sheeple.
These goobers on the Worcester County council can’t walk and chew gum at the same time. A bunch of unqualified small town hicks trying to look important as usual. I hope they are getting help from outside agencies, and not doing this on their own. They’re as bumbling as Biden.
