Perrysburg Debates Marijuana Moratorium
Perrysburg officials have decided that a final decision on cannabis-related businesses within city limits will not be made until 2026. The city council recently held the first reading of an ordinance that would extend the current marijuana moratorium until April 15, 2026. The existing moratorium, which restricts retail dispensaries, cultivators, and processors from operating in the city, was set to expire this October.
The proposed extension of the marijuana moratorium reflects city leaders' desire for more time to study the potential impact of cannabis businesses. Officials say they need additional months to determine whether to limit or completely prohibit the cultivation, processing, and sale of cannabis—or alternatively, to establish clear regulations for where and how such businesses could operate.
City officials stated in the ordinance that extending the marijuana moratorium is in the best interest of public health, safety, and welfare. They emphasized that any decision on cannabis-related businesses must be informed by thorough research, community input, and a careful consideration of both economic benefits and social consequences.
The marijuana moratorium has been in place as a precautionary measure since legalization efforts began to gain traction across Ohio. While some communities have embraced cannabis retail and cultivation, Perrysburg has opted for a more cautious approach. Officials say they want to avoid unintended consequences, such as increased youth access, zoning conflicts, or community pushback.
