EATON ISSUES MARIJUANA MORATORIUM

(Eaton, OH)--The city of Eaton has passed an emergency ordinance that places a nine-month moratorium on cannabis operators inside the city limits.  Last November, a statewide issue passed that allows for the recreational use of marijuana.  Council members indicated that the reason for the moratorium was to allow the city time to determine if usage can be regulated.  Council also declared the ordinance an emergency measure.  Many other Ohio communities have issued marijuana moratoriums similar to what has now been issued in Eaton.
