Residents Should Vote on Whether or Not to Have Retail Cannabis Dispensaries

To the Editor:

After months of reading about conflicting points of view and listening to the Princeton Council meeting on March 29, one thing is clear: residents are polarized about the social, medical, and financial implications of having cannabis dispensaries in Princeton.

We need to separate people’s vote to legalize cannabis from equating to people also supporting a local dispensary. We used a referendum to vote to legalize cannabis in the state, so why not use a referendum to decide whether to bring dispensaries into our town? Let’s be clear about what question we are asking, then let residents vote.
