Village Holds on Medical Marijuana Facility Regulations
Village officials want to wait on the state before allowing medical marijuana facilities. Starting Jan. 1, use of the drug for some medical reasons will be legal.
Montgomery is going to play wait and see before making any decisions on what to do about guidelines for medical marijuana facilities, according to a report.
The village’s plan commission agreed on a moratorium for any action on such facilities until Illinois figures out regulations, Sun-Times Media reports.
According to the report, Senior Planner Jared Chipman said the village had some interest and wants to put the freeze in place ahead of any developments at the state level.
