Jonesborough Issues Moratorium & Cannabis Rule Change
The town of Jonesborough is making history as it votes for the first time on an ordinance that will change cannabis distribution within the community. This move marks a significant step in how Jonesborough plans to align local regulations with state laws, particularly as Tennessee prepares for new legislation to take effect in January.
The upcoming state regulations will shift control of hemp from the Department of Agriculture to the Alcohol and Beverage Commission. These changes will also prohibit the sale of products containing a THC level of 0.3% or more, creating a major impact on small businesses in Jonesborough and beyond.
Mayor Kelly Wolfe stated, "It's going to end up falling under the state ABC board, and we're going to try to make our rules and regulations completely compatible." Wolfe emphasized that while the ordinance was unanimously approved, this decision is not yet final.
"We're going to have a planning commission that will look at it, as well as a community meeting where the business owners, the planning commission, and our Board of Mayor and Aldermen will all look at it together," Wolfe explained. This open approach ensures Jonesborough residents and business owners are part of the decision-making process.
