Students and ASAP coalition urge council to weigh teen impacts as marijuana ordinance is updated
Summary
ASAP coalition members and high school students told the Britt City Council how marijuana can affect teenagers and discussed where a retail shop might be located; the council agreed to revisit an updated marijuana ordinance at its next regular meeting.
Britt, Iowa — Members of the ASAP coalition and several high school students addressed the Britt City Council on July 2, presenting information about how marijuana use can affect teenagers and raising questions about where a retail marijuana shop should be located if state law allows it.
The presenters said the intent of their remarks was to inform council members about adolescent health and safety concerns linked to marijuana use. According to the meeting minutes, the group "began the meeting by sharing information with the council about how marijuana can impact teenagers" and discussed potential retail locations.
The council did not act on an ordinance at the meeting. Instead, council members agreed to place an updated Marijuana Ordinance on the agenda for a future regular meeting so members can review details and potential location rules.
The presentation was recorded in the minutes; no direct quotes from individual presenters were included in the published minutes. The council took no formal vote on policy at this meeting and did not adopt any ordinance changes. The item will return for further staff and council review at a later meeting.
