In a Facebook post Sunday, Township Council Vice President Margot Harris wrote, "the cannabis ordinance is being removed from the agenda in order for the committee members to do a deeper study into the concerns of the residents."

In an email, Harris said the Council wants to re-examine locations for proposed dispensaries.

Previously Edison decided marijuana establishments would be permitted in the area of Raritan Center, southeast of Woodbridge Avenue between Amboy Avenue and Mill Road, except for areas zoned for any class of residential use or within 1,000 feet of them.

Marijuana businesses are prohibited in all other township zones.

The Ohio Senate committee has approved several changes to the recreational marijuana law set to go into effect Thursday.

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine is urging passage of the bill.

The announcement comes hours before Issue 2 takes effect, which legalizes recreational marijuana in the state, which passed in November.

The ballot measure, dubbed Issue 2, passed on the Nov. 7 election with 57% of the vote and it set to become law this Thursday, making Ohio the 24th state to legalize marijuana for adult recreational use. But as a citizen-initiated statute, the Legislature is free to make tweaks on it, of which they’re attempting plenty.

Home grow is back in the bill, but will be limited to 6 plants per home, as opposed to the original 12.
