Marijuana Ordinance Up For Vote: This Week In Doylestown

DOYLESTOWN, PA — Doylestown Borough Council will consider approval of an ordinance addressing the processing and handling of possession or personal use of a small amount of marijuana during its Monday meeting.

The ordinance, which is modeled after Norristown Borough's policy, would direct the Central Bucks Regional Police Department to issue a non summary violation when a person is arrested in the borough for marijuana possession under 30 grams, which is currently a misdemeanor under state law.
